Hicks Thomas Named One of the Best Law Firms in America

By Hicks Thomas LLP


Hicks Thomas LLP is pleased to announce that it has once again been named among the Best Law Firms in America by U.S. News & World Report and The Best Lawyers in America.

The firm earned a Tier 1 ranking both nationally and in the Houston metro area for oil and gas law. It also received a top-tier ranking for its Houston commercial litigation practice.

“It is our goal to be at the top of the profession,” said Hicks Thomas partner John B. Thomas. “We are pleased to know that, because this recognition is based on client surveys and voting from our professional peers, we are on our way to meeting that goal.”

Earlier this year, Hicks Thomas was named among the top commercial litigation firms in Texas by Chambers and Partners, an organization that ranks the most outstanding law firms and lawyers in more than 180 jurisdictions around the world. “As a team, they have an incredibly strong work ethic and an unfailing drive to win,” said a source describing the firm. Chambers also reports that Hicks Thomas is regarded as an “accomplished team of commercial litigators with a wealth of trial experience.”

Researchers from U.S. News and Best Lawyers base their selections on voting by lawyers and responses from law firm clients. Clients are surveyed on everything from firm expertise and responsiveness to business understanding and cost-effectiveness. Tier rankings are then determined by the scores the firms receive.

In August, 10 firm attorneys were selected to the annual Best Lawyers in America guide, which is the oldest peer-review lawyer listing in the country. Three up-and-coming firm attorneys were also named to Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch.

The full list of Best Law Firms is available online at bestlawfirms.usnews.com and will also be published in the 12th edition of Best Law Firms.
