April 24, 2026 |

By Lyons & Simmons, LLP

Lyons & Simmons is proud to announce that Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, and P. Wes Black have been named to D Magazine’s Best Lawyers in Dallas list.

Published annually, the Best Lawyers in Dallas issue recognizes attorneys across a wide range of practice areas who are regarded by their peers as among the top lawyers in North Texas.

A Recognition Earned Through Peer Review

D Magazine’s Best Lawyers list is based on a rigorous, multi-step peer-selection process: Thousands of North Texas attorneys are invited to nominate lawyers whose work they have personally observed. Votes are reviewed and filtered before an anonymous panel of respected attorneys evaluates the nominees to ensure impartiality and merit-based selection.

The result is a recognition grounded in firsthand professional respect and demonstrated excellence.

Honoring Trial Strength and Results

At Lyons & Simmons, Michael Lyons has built a reputation as one of Texas’s leading trial lawyers, known for taking on high-exposure cases and delivering record-setting results when the stakes are highest. Chris Simmons helps lead a nationally recognized trial practice focused on catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases, consistently achieving meaningful outcomes for clients and their families.

P. Wes Black, a leader in appellate advocacy, plays a critical role in protecting and advancing those results through complex post-trial and appellate proceedings.

Together, their recognition reflects the firm’s broader commitment to handling the most serious cases with the preparation, experience, and resolve required when the results mean everything.
