There are quite a few large cities in Texas. Dallas, Houston and San Antonio are among the largest metro areas in the United States, and they all are home to a great variety of top-notch legal professionals. Recently, attorneys, lawyers and law firms from Texas have received accolades for their performance from some of the top ranking agencies in the nation.

For example, Darrell Barger, a managing partner at Hartline Dacus Barger Dreyer LLP (HDBD), won the title of 2012 Lawyer of the Year in Personal Injury Litigation Defense. The peer-based recognition was awarded through The Best Lawyers in America organization, which scrutinizes the international legal community.

“Our firm is proud to have four attorneys included in the listing of Texas Best Lawyers,” said Jeff Patterson, the firm’s managing partner. “These lawyers exemplify what each of our lawyers aspire to: trial talent, intellect, negotiation skills and judgment. It’s a privilege to have these attorneys set an example for the other fine lawyers in our firm.”

Another press release showed that Texas-based Jackson Walker LLP was tied for second among Texas firms in the American Lawyer’s 2012 Diversity Scorecard. This means that from a hiring standpoint, Jackson Walker enjoyed the highest percentage of minorities amongst its workforce, including attorneys and managing partners.
