Best Law Firms in Texas for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs

Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Mensing or AZA, is home to true courtroom lawyers who provide clients with a formidable track record in complex commercial litigation including energy, trade secret, intellectual property, construction, and business dispute cases.

AZA earned a coveted rating for its work in Texas commercial litigation in the 2014 -2021 editions of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, published by Chambers and Partners which is recognized worldwide for its prestigious guides to the legal profession. AZA was named First-Tier in Commercial Litigation in Houston by U.S. News & World Report and The Best Lawyers in America in their rankings of the nation’s Best Law Firms. Likewise, AZA was named a Recognized Firm by Benchmark Litigation—the definitive guide to America’s leading litigation firms and attorneys.

In 2015, AZA was recognized as one of only 10 boutique firms nationally by Law360 for successfully challenging the nation’s biggest law firms. The list of Top 10 Boutiques includes firms that are on par with the biggest firms but less expensive and more accessible to clients. Likewise, AZA was named among the “Most Feared Law Firms” by corporate counsel at major U.S. companies, as surveyed by the leading legal research group BTI Consulting. The 40 firms across the country on the 2015 list were chosen on the basis of extensive interviews with 300 general counsel and in-house litigation counsel at top-spending companies and organizations. In addition, AZA was chosen the 2015 and 2019 Litigation Department of the Year by the publishers of Texas Lawyer newspaper. The annual honor recognizes the Texas-based litigation firms that have excelled during the previous year based on courtroom results. Just three general firms are chosen statewide for having the top litigation departments.  AZA, a powerhouse with fewer than 40 lawyers, claimed the top spot in the small-firm category. 

Dedication to clients, coupled with the ability to prevail in the courtroom before judges and juries alike, is why so many general counsel across the U.S. know AZA. It’s also why corporate counsel have named AZA one of the law firms with the best client service of those serving the Fortune 1000. In fact, AZA has been hired on many occasions by the same companies the firm has prevailed against at trial.

Expertise. Leadership. Compassion. Results.

Our attorneys have helped thousands of victims of accidents and injuries caused by catastrophic vehicular and trucking accidents, oil field explosions, medical and hospital negligence, medical device and pharmaceutical design defects, and personal injuries caused by negligence and gross negligence. Our highly recognized attorneys take on multinational corporations every day and hold them accountable for their actions. We handle cases across the United States, and we are national leaders in both individual cases and mass torts. Our practice areas include IVC Filter Complications, Transvaginal Mesh,  Surgical Staples,  Dangerous Products, Wrongful Death & Catastrophic Injury and Medical Malpractice & Hospital Liability.

Over the past few years, our trial successes include multi-million dollar jury verdicts against major IVC filter manufacturers, including a record $3 million dollar verdict in a bellwether IVC filter case filed in the Cook Medical MDL in Indianapolis. This verdict, which at the time was largest actual damages award ever obtained in any IVC filter case, was tried by a team of lawyers led by Ben C. Martin.  The jury in Brand v. Cook Medical Inc. and William Cook Europe, found, for the first time, that a medical device company had defectively designed an IVC filter.

Since then, our trial lawyers have won four other IVC filter verdicts in jury trials against C. R. Bard, Inc. and Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. (“Bard”), including a $3.3 million actual damages verdict that broke the firm’s previous record, in one of the largest such awards nationwide in an IVC filter case.

Ben Martin Law Group’s recent trial successes are not limited to IVC filters; they include a wrongful death case tried in Dallas, Texas against a multi-billion dollar railroad company. In Rigsby v. Kansas City Southern Railway, a Dallas, Texas jury found the railroad responsible for the tragic death of a driver at a dangerous railroad crossing.

These verdicts represent but a small portion of the verdicts obtained by Ben Martin and Ben Martin Law Group lawyers through the years, and are a telling indicator that the unfailing and dedicated work by the talented lawyers and staff at the firm make those results happen. Read about our dedicated and talented lawyers as you look through our website.

Our lawyers are national leaders in litigation involving thousands of victims. Ben C. Martin was appointed and serves as Co-lead counsel of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in the Cook Medical IVC filter Multi-District Litigation pending in the Southern District of Indiana (where the Brand case was tried). Ben is also on the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in the Cordis IVC filter litigation and is co-lead counsel in coordinated litigation pending in Philadelphia against Rex Medical regarding its Option IVC filter. Ben is an integral part of trial teams in IVC filter, transvaginal mesh, and other important cases pending in federal and state courts across the country. Our lawyers and staff are the reasons for our successes at trial and at the settlement negotiation table.

We are leaders. We are compassionate. We obtain results. For these reasons, referring attorneys regularly entrust their clients and their cases to us. We are honored to serve each of our clients.

Founded in 1959, Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson, LLP enjoys a strong reputation for high quality legal representation. We specialize in serious and complex personal injury,wrongful death, medical malpractice and business litigation cases.

Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson traces its roots to Tony Byrd, who founded our law firm with the goal of representing injured clients. Mr. Byrd believed that the clients’ best interests could be served by taking their cases before a jury of their peers where they could be fully compensated for the injuries sustained.

In the late 1950s and early 1960s when only a few national firms had the competency to handle product liability, aviation and complex medical litigation, our firm stood at the forefront of developing personal injury law. In the course of our history, our attorneys have successfully represented injured plaintiffs against almost every major manufacturer in the United States, foreign corporations and nearly all the major aircraft and helicopter manufacturers in the world. The firm has obtained recoveries for victims of government, local public entities, hospitals and drug manufacturers’ wrongdoing.

We served as class counsel in oil royalty litigation against the eight largest unified petroleum producing companies and recovered over $19 million on behalf of our clients. Since then, we have continued to expand our practice into business disputes over breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation, partnership and fiduciary liability, real estate disputes, and class actions.

Today Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson carries on our founder’s goals. Throughout our history we have remained dedicated to serving our clients with honesty, integrity and excellence in legal services.

After more than half a century, we remain among the top trial firms in the United States. Our lawyers continue to be recognized as speakers, faculty members and leaders in professional organizations. Our skills continually develop, our technology is cutting edge, and our research and investigation skills are unmatched for successfully pursuing recoveries for our clients.

With more than a century of combined litigation experience, the founders of Cherry Johnson Siegmund James set out to build a robust regional firm providing skilled representation in three key areas: Commercial Litigation, Intellectual Property, and Personal Injury.

Over the years, we have curated a team that reinforces our firm’s core focus: navigating the challenges and intricacies of high-stakes litigation. Each of our attorneys brings their own unique strengths, and they all exemplify the qualities we bring to every client relationship:

Injury Law Firm Serving San Antonio and Clients Throughout South Texas

There are many reasons why people throughout South Texas choose our firm to go to bat for them and fight for the compensation they deserve. Some of them are:

We are serious attorneys for serious injuries. We understand that any vehicle wreck or other injury-causing accident can be disruptive. Even a minor fender bender resulting in minor pain can be a physical and financial burden. When an accident causes severe injury and significant property damage — things that are truly life-changing — victims need and deserve experienced legal representation.

We have decades of combined experience negotiating fair settlements for our clients and fighting in court when compensation is on the line. We have developed the most effective strategies for holding negligent parties accountable for their actions, and always look for every possible way to help our clients.

We are more than just lawyers; we are members of the community. We come from hardworking South Texas families. When our clients and their families face mounting medical bills and the loss of a family member’s paycheck, we know how financially and emotionally stressful that can be. We are proud to stand up for hardworking people who face financial hurdles because of another party’s negligence and get them the full compensation they are entitled to.

We value attorney-client interaction just as much as our clients do. Too many people meet with a lawyer just once, maybe twice during a case — and feel treated like nothing more than a case file the rest of the time. With a firm of our size, we can ensure that our clients can always speak with an attorney when they have questions about their case or concerns about case strategy, while maintaining a staff that can handle routine matters and make the process as simple as possible. And, whether our clients speak with a receptionist, paralegal or attorney, they will always be treated with respect, dignity and understanding.

We are trial lawyers. In civil and criminal legal circles across the nation, we’ve built a solid reputation for establishing rapport with juries and obtaining favorable results for our clients.

We are a diverse legal team with years of courtroom experience, both state and federal. We are experienced in the preparation and presentation of a wide variety of cases, and we handle all appeals. We’re also a law firm with a distinct personality. We keep a positive, upbeat, and relaxed perspective, while remaining passionate about the law and driven to explore every angle of a legal position. We truly love what we do, so going the extra mile for our clients comes naturally.  

We believe there is no issue too complicated for a jury to understand. We often take a complex case or concept and transform it in a way that jurors can relate to — presenting all the relevant facts and evidence while keeping the jurors’ interest and attention. This philosophy is important for two reasons. First, juries sense that we believe in and trust them, and our ability to communicate with them increases the likelihood of success for our clients. Just as importantly, our opponents’ recognition of our successful record with juries greatly enhances the settlement potential of a case in a way that frequently makes a trial unnecessary and creates a more satisfying solution for our clients.  

Our practice is unusual in that it is both a civil and criminal practice. It is, however, based on our ability to create a positive connection with jurors whether they are hearing a civil or criminal case. Although our practice has increasingly been devoted to civil cases, we have steadfastly continued to represent people in criminal cases because we believe in and enjoy the work. For the last several years, our practice has been comprised of approximately 80 percent civil litigation and 20 percent criminal defense representation. We love the variety and believe that the eclectic nature of our trial practice actually reinforces our ability to be of help to a broad cross-section of individuals and companies.

• Appellate
• Commercial Litigation
• Personal Injury Claims
• Criminal Matters
• Cases Involving Public Figures

Founded in 1990 by noted trial lawyer Mark Lanier, The Lanier Law Firm is recognized as one of the premier trial law firms in the United States. The firm’s experienced trial attorneys represent companies and individuals across the country from offices in Houston, New York, Los Angeles and Dallas/Fort Worth.

The firm’s vast trial experience includes substantial verdicts in cases involving asbestos exposure and mesothelioma, serious personal injuries, product liability, dangerous drugs, business fraud, and other civil litigation. The firm also is noted for its work defending some of the country’s largest companies. For example, in 2016, Mr. Lanier won two federal trial jury verdicts that together totaled more than $1.5 billion in litigation over metal-on-metal hip implants manufactured by DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., a subsidiary of New Brunswick, New Jersey-based Johnson & Johnson. In April 2014, Mr. Lanier and the firm won a record verdict against pharmaceutical giants Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and Eli Lilly & Co. over the dangerous side effects of the diabetes medication Actos, which ranked as the 7th largest verdict in U.S. history. More recently, Mr. Lanier secured a historic $4.69 billion verdict against Johnson & Johnson in the first trial verdict to affirm the link between asbestos-laden talcum powder and ovarian cancer.

Although record-setting legal victories are a firm trademark, the primary focus remains with Mr. Lanier’s original vision to provide “the highest quality legal care delivered in an honest, professional manner to enrich the lives or businesses of our clients.” Every attorney at The Lanier Law Firm is committed to solving clients’ problems while working toward favorable legal resolutions.

Mr. Lanier serves as the firm's lead litigation counsel and is recognized as one of the nation’s top trial lawyers. In addition to his Best Lawyers in America recognition, Mr. Lanier was named Lawyer of the Year in Mass Tort Litigation/Class Actions by Best Lawyers and has been highlighted among the top 10 attorneys in Texas in the annual Texas Super Lawyers magazine, and featured in Texas Lawyer’s “Go-To Guide” as the state’s premiere personal injury attorney and as one of "The 25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter Century."

The National Law Journal has recognized Mr. Lanier as one of the nation's Top 10 Trial Attorneys on two different occasions and highlighted him as one of the "100 Most Influential Lawyers in America" and one of the "Decade's Most Influential Lawyers." Following his victory in the nation’s first trial over the pain medication Vioxx, Mr. Lanier was described in The New York Times as “one of the top civil trial lawyers in America.”

Chambers USA and The Legal 500 ranked The Lanier Law Firm among the nation's leading firms for work in Plaintiffs' Product Liability and Mass Tort Class Actions. Editors of The National Law Journal named The Lanier Law Firm among its list of Elite Trial Lawyers and as the nation's top-ranked law firm in the area of Medical Device Litigation.

A strong supporter of his alma mater, Mr. Lanier earned his law degree from Texas Tech University School of Law in 1984. He remains active at Texas Tech by serving on the Law School's Foundation Board and was previously honored as the Texas Tech University School of Law Distinguished Alumnus.

Another hallmark of The Lanier Law Firm is its dedication to professional and community involvement. Mr. Lanier is the founder of the Christian Trial Lawyers Association, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to create a network of principled attorneys to minister to others through civic-minded endeavors. Mr. Lanier also serves on the board of trustees for the Committee for Economic Development, a group of business and education leaders committed to improving the growth and productivity of the U.S. economy and greater opportunity for all Americans.

All the firm’s attorneys and staff support numerous local charities, including Houston’s SIRE therapeutic equestrian centers, Los Angeles’ Midnight Mission, the San Francisco non-profit Legal Services for Children, and New York’s Bowery Mission Children of Bellevue.
