The selection process for these honors is rigorous, relying on a multiphase system of peer nominations, evaluations, and independent research. Only 5% of attorneys in the state achieve the Super Lawyers designation, while the Rising Stars category, reserved for those 40 or younger or in practice for a decade or less, includes just 2.5% of the bar.

Long-standing firm leaders highlight the firm's longevity in the rankings. Daniel K. Hagood marks his 24th consecutive year on the Super Lawyers list, while Levi G. McCathern, II, continues his two-decade tenure. Laura B. Roach earned further distinction as part of the Texas Top 100 and Texas Top 50 Women lists. Managing Partner Arnold Shokouhi noted that the breadth of recognition—from veterans with two decades of service to emerging legal talent—serves as a primary indicator of the firm's commitment to quality client advocacy across its various practice areas.
