Best Law Firms in Texas

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.

We know that experience matters to clients and judges. And we have it. Our lawyers have actually tried a complex class action to verdict, served as co-lead counsel in multi-district litigation, secured a $106 million judgment in the first of the 2008 mortgage meltdown cases to go to trial, obtained significant settlements in royalty-owner disputes, and regularly represented individuals and businesses in complex, bet-the-company cases.

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.

Beginning in the 1990s, Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson expanded its practice into commercial litigation, representing clients in breach of contract actions in various contexts. 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.

Calabrese Budner LLP is a Dallas-based boutique family law firm focused on complex, high-stakes divorce and custody matters. The firm represents clients in cases involving significant financial, business, and personal interests, bringing a strategic, disciplined approach to every stage of the process.

The firm is known for treating divorce as more than a legal dispute—it is a series of decisions that shape long-term outcomes. Whether through litigation or negotiated resolution, the team emphasizes clarity, preparation, and thoughtful strategy to protect what matters most.

Chamblee Ryan is a litigation law firm based in Dallas, Texas serving clients throughout the state, as well as nationwide. Few firms try as many cases to a jury as we do. We are able to handle nearly every type of civil lawsuit in state or federal courts across the United States. Since our inception, we have established a reputation for favorable verdicts and settlements. Since 1998, we have tried over 140 jury trials and have represented hospitals and health care professionals, transportation companies, construction entities, food producers and distributors, manufacturers, and numerous other companies or individuals representative of a wide array of industries.   

Litigation today, particularly the high-stakes litigation companies often face, has gotten riskier and more expensive.  As a result, many companies are reticent to see their cases to verdict, and fewer and fewer cases are going to trial.  Chamblee Ryan makes litigation cost-effective and we help eliminate risk.  Trial attorneys are like good pitchers- if you do not pitch routinely, your mechanics can get rusty.  Our attorneys actually try cases and our junior attorneys routinely participate in trials.  Chamblee Ryan attorneys have the skills, and the experience, that our clients need.  

Our founding partners are ranked among the top trial lawyers in Texas, and as a result we are able to offer a small firm approach for big firm clientele. Our reputation as an elite trial firm and our unique work environment has attracted additional attorneys from the top law schools and law firms. The firm’s clients include large national corporations, growing businesses, and esteemed individuals located throughout the United States. Our attorneys regularly engage in litigation in the State of Texas and have appeared in numerous courtrooms throughout the country.  

While we are able to provide a full spectrum of legal services to our clients, we are dedicated primarily to litigation. Our reputation in Dallas-Fort Worth as trial lawyers is well known. Opposing attorneys know we are willing to take a case through verdict. They also know we take a case to verdict for the win. It can be rare for “litigation firms” and “litigation sections” of large law firms to have trial experience and experienced trial lawyers; we have both. Our reputation is defined not only by our willingness to try cases, but by the exceptional results we produce. It’s this same reputation that often helps cases reach a favorable settlement when a jury trial isn’t appropriate based on an examination of the dispute.

CM Law, formerly known as Culhane Meadows, was founded in 2013 through a visionary alliance of four attorneys who came together to build a different kind of law firm. The founding attorneys had collaborated for more than 15 years at several prominent national firms and shared a common vision: create a firm built around exceptional legal talent, strong client relationships, and a more efficient approach to delivering legal services.

From the beginning, CM Law was designed to challenge the traditional law firm model and focus resources where they matter most—on clients and their legal needs.

How is CM Law different from the traditional law firm model?

CM Law was founded on the belief that clients should not have to pay for the high overhead and inefficiencies traditionally associated with large law firms.

We leverage emerging technology and innovative ways of working to deliver sophisticated legal services efficiently, while avoiding unnecessary expenses such as extravagant office space, excessive support staff, elaborate artwork, marble columns, and other overhead that does not add value to the client experience.

Our approach allows us to remain focused on what matters most: providing high-quality legal counsel, responsive service, and meaningful value to our clients.

What does it mean to be a Client Minded Advocate® at CM Law?

At CM Law, we recognize that every legal matter exists within a larger business context. Whether a client is a growing business or a sophisticated in-house legal department, legal issues are often connected to broader objectives—including market demands, financial considerations, regulatory requirements, organizational culture, diversity and inclusion, and social or marketing goals.

That is why our attorneys approach each matter with an understanding of the client’s bigger picture. Rather than viewing a legal issue in isolation, we work to understand the business objectives behind it and develop practical strategies that help our clients achieve those goals.

How does CM Law bring together the right legal talent for its clients?

We cultivate cross-disciplinary, client-centered teams of attorneys with extensive legal experience and real-world business knowledge. By drawing on the collective capabilities of attorneys across practices and industries, we can assemble teams that are tailored to the specific needs of each client and matter.

This collaborative approach allows our clients to benefit from the depth and breadth of a full-service national law firm while maintaining the personalized attention and responsiveness they expect from their trusted legal advisors.

What role does inclusion play at CM Law?

Inclusion is fundamental to who we are—not simply concepts we discuss, but principles reflected in the way our firm is structured and operated.

As the largest national, full-service, women-owned and managed law firm in the United States, CM Law is proud to demonstrate its commitment through action. Our demographics and growth tell an important part of that story, as does our unique, objective, and fully transparent compensation system.

We believe meaningful inclusion requires more than statements or initiatives. It requires creating an environment where talented attorneys have opportunities to succeed, contribute, lead, and be recognized for the value they bring to the firm and our clients.

What makes CM Law’s approach successful?

Ultimately, our success is driven by our people and our commitment to our clients. We are privileged that so many business owners and in-house legal departments trust CM Law with their legal needs. That trust is a reflection of the exceptional legal work, responsiveness, business-minded perspective, and personal commitment of our attorneys.

Our model is intentionally designed to put those qualities at the center of the client experience—combining sophisticated legal counsel with efficiency, collaboration, transparency, and a genuine understanding of what our clients are trying to accomplish.

Our founding members worked together for years at one of the largest law firms in Dallas, representing Fortune 500 companies and other high-profile clients in virtually every legal matter under the sun. Together, we felt that we had something new to offer – a different way of doing things. We wanted to find a way to take our big-firm experience and combine it with a personal approach that our clients simply wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. Once we realized that, the next step was to open our own firm together.

How is our approach different?

First, we’re a part of your team. Even within a single practice, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to the law. So, before doing anything else, we work with you to create a set of goals that will form the foundation of our legal strategy. From there, we’re with you through every step of the process. We understand any legal dispute can be stressful and know that effective communication can go a long way toward allaying that. You’ll have questions, and we’ll be there to answer them. Simply put, you’ll be at the center of everything we do.

Second, our team of experienced attorneys prides itself on being more collaborative than most. When we take on a client, you’re not just getting a single lawyer’s experience and insight but the entire firm’s when it’s needed. Not a pile-on, with layers of lawyers, but a smart, efficient approach that means better solutions for you. You’re a part of the family now, so get used to the attention.

We believe that people like working with people they like, and that’s why we put personal service at the forefront of every client relationship. We get to know our clients, talk about family and vacations, and share an occasional bottle of wine. Connections are important to us.

We’re glad you found us, and we know that once you learn a little more about our attorneys and what we can do for you, you’re going to like working with us.
