Fourteen McKool Smith Attorneys Honored in 2010 Texas Super Lawyers List

DALLAS/HOUSTON/AUSTIN – Fourteen attorneys in the Texas offices of McKool Smith are being recognized in the prestigious 2010 Texas Super Lawyers list of the state’s top lawyers.

McKool Smith co-founder Mike McKool and firm principal Samuel Baxter are highlighted as two of the Top 100 attorneys in Dallas-Fort Worth and all of Texas.

To compile the Texas Super Lawyers listing, more than 70,000 lawyers from across the state were asked to nominate attorneys they consider as the best in the legal profession. The judging process continues with rigorous screening by a blue-ribbon panel of lawyers, and the final Texas Super Lawyers honorees represent fewer than 5 percent of all Texas attorneys.

The honored McKool Smith attorneys appearing in the October 2010 edition of Texas Monthly magazine and Texas Super Lawyers magazine include:

• Peter J. Ayers, Austin
• Samuel F. Baxter, Dallas
• Douglas A. Cawley, Dallas
• Gary Cruciani, Dallas
• Thomas A. Graves, Dallas
• Lewis LeClair, Dallas
• H.M. Ray, III, Houston
• Hugh M. Ray, Jr., Houston
• Robert M. Manley, Dallas
• Mike McKool, Dallas
• Steven J. Pollinger, Austin
• Theodore Stevenson III, Dallas
• Gordon T. White, Austin
• Steven D. Wolens, Dallas

“Each year, we seem to have more and more attorneys included in this list, and I believe that’s indicative of the hard work and dedication that every lawyer at this firm provides for clients on a regular basis,” says Mr. McKool.

McKool Smith is recognized as one of the premier trial law firms in the United States based on significant courtroom victories and substantial settlements for domestic and international clients. With more than 125 attorneys in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Marshall, New York, and Washington DC, the firm handles complex commercial litigation, intellectual property claims, bankruptcy matters, and white collar litigation for companies and individuals across the globe. McKool Smith has won more of the Top 100 Verdicts than any other law firm in the nation every year since 2008.
