This year's list contains 832 lawyers, broken down by specialty and whether they've been in practice for more or less than five years. Lawyers voted online at fwtx.com earlier this year. The magazine applied a minimum number of votes it took to make the list, giving bonus weight to lawyers who made the list any of the prior three years. We asked a group of 25 highly regarded lawyers in the area to review the list prior to publication, and make recommendations on other lawyers who should be on the list, and even ones who should come off for any reason. With this input, we finalized the 2017 Top Attorneys list.
By including a lawyer on these lists, the magazine does not recommend or endorse his or her service. Lawyers whose names are in bold type received 20 or more votes. Lawyers whose names are in bold italic received 10-19 votes. Lawyers licensed as of December 2012 are considered to have more than five years in practice for this list.
