We have come to expect seeing familiar names from our firm occupy their rightful places in such respected legal guides as The Best Lawyers in America. We are happy to say that the 2027 Best Lawyers guide brought more of the same. 

Seven of our attorneys retained their spots among the top 5% of attorneys in Texas, based on peer recommendations and professional accomplishments. Standing alongside them this year are two first-time Ones to Watch honorees. This companion guide recognizes outstanding attorneys who are in their first decade of practice. 

Firm attorneys selected again to the Best Lawyers guide are: 

Dawn Estes – Commercial litigation, labor and employment litigation and arbitration;  

Abby Ewing – Family law and collaborative family law;  

Jennifer Henry – Commercial litigation;  

Linda Moore – Commercial litigation, insurance litigation and ERISA litigation;  

Carol Payne – Commercial litigation, ethics and professional responsibility law, legal malpractice law defense and arbitration; 

Jessica Thorne – Family law, collaborative family law and commercial litigation; 

Lori Carr – Labor and employment litigation and for employment (management) law. 

Joining our Best Lawyers in the Ones to Watch guide for commercial litigation are attorneys Jessalyn McAlister Behbahani and Ariana Boyd. 

We are proud of our outstanding colleagues and celebrate their well-deserved honors.
