Cole Connor joined Wagstaff LLP in 2025 after graduating from the SMU Dedman School of Law in Dallas. Mr. Connor’s practice primarily involves representing public utility companies in the acquisition of easements and assisting renewable energy companies with real estate matters statewide, though he is also involved in civil litigation, business transactions, and various family law matters.

Mr. Connor is an eighth-generation Texan who grew up in the Hill Country and is glad to be back where it feels like home. He and his wife Andrea are both graduates of Vanderbilt University and avid sports fans, and when they are not in town, you’ll often find them traveling to see Vandy or the Dallas Stars play somewhere. They continue to look for ways to grow more involved in the Abilene community, whether that is exploring local restaurants, catching shows at the Paramount, or taking in some Friday Night Lights.
