Three attorneys from the firm were named 2010 Thomson Reuters Texas Rising Stars. The attorneys and their areas of law are:
- Ty Bailey - Personal Injury Defense: Medical Malpractice, General Litigation, Administrative Law
- Texas Rising Star from 2005 to 2010
- Diana Wood - Personal Injury Defense: Medical Malpractice, General Litigation, Health Care
- Jennifer Shuff - Personal Injury Defense: Medical Malpractice, Health Care
- Texas Rising Star in 2006 and 2010
The list of Rising Stars is based on recommendations from attorneys across the state who are asked to nominate the best attorneys age 40 or under, or who have been practicing for 10 years or less. They are instructed to nominate lawyers they have personally observed in action — whether as opposing counsel or co-counsel, or through other firsthand courtroom observation.
In addition to the general survey, the attorney-led research team reviews the credentials of potential candidates and assigns points based on a set of defined evaluation criteria. The point totals from the general survey and research process are then added to arrive at a final tally. The lawyers are ranked by point totals and those with the highest point totals are named to the Rising Stars list. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are named to the list. To ensure a diverse and well-balanced list, the research staff considers factors such as firm size, practice area and geographic location.
