Since opening Estes Thorne Ewing & Payne 18 years ago, we’ve never taken for granted the opportunity we’ve been given to set an example for other women-owned law firms and individual practitioners to follow. 

We’re happy to report that Chambers USA, the gold standard of legal rankings, data and analysis, thinks we are succeeding on that goal. 

As part of its annual Regional Spotlight Texas, which recognizes the state’s small to medium-sized law firms that offer top-level service to their clients, Chambers USA uses Estes Thorne Ewing & Payne as an example of what being identified with the Chambers name can accomplish for boutique firms. 

“The Spotlight ranking not only says you are excellent, but it also recognizes that you are smaller and a boutique firm, and that’s an important differentiator for us,” founding partner Dawn Estes says in the profile, headlined “How Boutique Firms Leverage Spotlight Rankings for Growth: Meet Estes Thorne Ewing & Payne PLLC.” 

We are grateful for the attention we have received through our Chambers Spotlight Guide selection, and we like to think that our success puts some shine on Chambers’ reputation for sharp analysis as well. 

Thanks to Chambers USA for recognizing the quality of our work, and thanks to our clients who make it all possible and the attorneys and staff members who make it happen.
