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.

Due to its sheer size and profitable market, Texas has long been a center for the construction industry. Subsequently, multiple law firms specializing in construction law call this state home, as there is a high demand for lawyers and attorneys who know their way around a building site. Legal recruitment for these firms is picking up in Texas and several firms have recently been recognized for their expertise in the industry.

Andrews Myers law firm has consistently been ranked as one of the top construction companies in Texas, according to the Sacramento Bee. Recently, the 2012 Chambers USA, America’s Leading Lawyers for Business report awarded Andrews Myers a “Band One” rating, and named four of its attorneys as leading experts. William K. “Bill” Andrews, Thomas W. “Tom” Myers, William B. “Ben” Westcott and William J. “Jason” Walker were the lawyers recognized, reported the news source.

In addition, Dallas-, Austin- and Houston-based construction firm Ford Nassen & Baldwin, P.C., was highlighted in the 2012 edition of The Legal 500 United States. It was recognized as one of the top construction law firms in the United States.

These construction litigation firms have a need for all sorts of legal professionals. They will need law clerks, specialized attorneys and even receptionists who are educated in industry terms and procedures. If you believe that you may qualify for an open position, give our attorney headhunters a call.
