This year’s recognition is especially meaningful, as every Lyons & Simmons attorney was selected, reflecting the depth of talent across the firm and a shared standard of excellence in high-stakes personal injury litigation.
“At Lyons & Simmons, recognition like this speaks to the collective strength of our team and the way we approach every case,” said firm co-founder Michael Lyons. “We’re particularly proud to see the next generation of trial lawyers at our firm earning this distinction for the first time—it’s a reflection of the future we’re building.”
