ABOUT US For more than four decades, Best Lawyers lists have been compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for inclusion in Best Lawyers, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain on the list for each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be included on our lists.

In order to collect feedback on firm and attorney work within specific regions, Best Lawyers curates “metro areas.”

For research purposes, smaller and more rural cities located within a reasonable distance to larger cities are combined into single geographical regions—metro areas—to help us collect as much feedback and data for specific individuals, firms, and practice areas as possible. We also award “Lawyer of the Year” accolades through these metro area distinctions.

IN THE LAW

Is the Unseen Constitutional Crisis in Texas Spreading Across the US? The Lone Star State may be ground zero, but it is not alone.

By Bryan Driscoll

A Failing System

Maverick County is more than a regional administrative failure. A New York Times report from March 2025 exposed a court system so overloaded that defendants waited weeks, sometimes months, without legal counsel. Some never spoke to a public defender at all.

The core of the crisis: The public defense structure was never designed to handle this volume or this kind of need.

In theory, it’s a budget-friendly model. In reality, it creates perverse incentives, discouraging adequate time and attention on each case.

The problem is particularly acute in rural counties, where the lack of resources isn’t just due to underfunding—it’s about logistics.

Outside rural courtrooms, many Texans are too poor to hire private counsel but not poor enough to qualify for a public defender. Justice becomes a privilege reserved for those who meet arbitrary income thresholds.

Constitutional Neglect

The structural collapse of indigent defense is playing out across the country.

8 |

TEXAS

In 2024, an Oregon judge issued a landmark ruling: Criminal defendants being held without access to a lawyer must be released. The decision came amid a public defense shortage so dire that hundreds of people were warehoused in county jails without representation. Some had been waiting for legal counsel for months.

That kind of judicial intervention is rare. But it’s becoming more necessary as legislative bodies continue to underfund public defense programs.

In Maine, the crisis unfolded more quietly but just as dangerously. With too few attorneys willing to take on indigent cases—especially in rural areas—defendants faced months-long delays or were forced to represent themselves.

In response, the ACLU of Maine filed a lawsuit arguing that the state had systematically failed to meet its Sixth Amendment obligations. In 2024, the court sided with the ACLU, marking a rare but significant legal victory for public defense reform.

What’s at Stake

This crisis doesn’t just affect the accused. It distorts the structure of the criminal justice system.

Overloaded public defenders often handle hundreds of cases, making thorough investigations and trial preparation nearly impossible. Prosecutors gain leverage not from strong arguments but from the lack of opposition.

Judges manage bloated dockets, often pushing plea deals just to keep cases moving. Speed replaces fairness in resolving cases.

For Defendants, the Impact Is Devastating

However, states can create independent public defense commissions with secure funding, increase pay and training for public defenders, set caseload limits and remove arbitrary eligibility barriers. The federal government can encourage compliance with constitutional standards through grants or legal action. Courts can step in where legislatures fail, enforcing the rights they are meant to protect.

ADOBE STOCK/ KILLIAN

I

n Maverick County, Texas, people are sitting in jail for weeks—sometimes months—without speaking to a lawyer. They’re not convicted of anything. They simply can’t afford an attorney, or the state hasn’t provided one. Hundreds of defendants have languished behind bars while overwhelmed courts and a broken public defense system leave them without the basic protections guaranteed under the Constitution.

This isn’t an isolated failure. The erosion of the right to counsel is a national phenomenon—one that cuts across geography, politics and ideology. And unless that right is meaningfully enforced, the entire premise of adversarial justice begins to fall apart.

As states struggle—or refuse—to meet their legal obligations, the gap between principle and practice grows wider. The question now is whether the legal system will act to close it or continue allowing these silent violations of fundamental rights to fester.

O GDE LL L AW F I R M has built its reputation by taking on cases most lawyers avoid—complex, high-stakes criminal matters where the outcome can define a client’s future. Led by veteran trial lawyer Dan Cogdell, the Houstonbased firm focuses on defending individuals charged with white-collar crimes, federal offenses, serious state felonies and grand jury investigations.

“I didn’t set out to create a safe, comfortable practice,” Cogdell says. “I wanted to do real trial work; the kind where the outcome actually matters to someone’s life or livelihood. These aren’t easy cases, and that’s the point.”

This approach has propelled Cogdell through a career marked by high-profile victories. He successfully defended a Branch Davidian in the Waco siege trial, secured the only acquittal in the Enron-Merrill Lynch prosecution and most recently helped to dismantle the prosecution’s case in the impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, leading to acquittals on all 16 articles considered by the Senate, with four additional articles set aside.

Cogdell’s practice today reflects the same intensity

that defined his early career. His focus remains on significant criminal matters, including federal bribery, health care fraud, public corruption and serious state-level charges. Many of his clients are professionals—physicians, lawyers, executives and public officials—facing scrutiny that threatens everything they’ve worked to build.

“When the government targets you, the process alone can be punishing,” he says. “Clients need someone who understands what’s at stake and knows how to navigate every step.”

Though best known for his courtroom presence, Cogdell’s reputation is built on his thorough preparation before trial. He is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® for Criminal Defense: General Practice and Criminal Defense: White-Collar every year since 1995. Fellow attorneys frequently call on him to consult, or take over, when a case demands deep trial experience.

“I don’t take on many cases, and that’s by design,” Cogdell says. “If I’m stepping in, it’s because the stakes are high and because I know I can make a real difference in the outcome.”

New Texas Bill Looks to Create Business Safe Haven

By Laurie Villanueva

Discontent With Delaware Driving Texas Overhaul

Delaware has long been the go-to jurisdiction for businesses seeking to incorporate due in large part to the Delaware General Corporation Law. Not only does the statute provide robust legal and liability protections for both companies and their investors, but it also facilitates significant flexibility, empowering businesses to tailor corporate structure and governance as they see fit.

Delaware is also home to the Court of Chancery, a specialized court of equity that focuses solely on resolving business disputes.

Given these advantages, it’s no surprise that about 65% of Fortune 500 companies have chosen Delaware as their state of incorporation. However, growing discontent among business leaders has opened the door for states like Texas to challenge its dominance.

Recent decisions by the Chancery Court have introduced uncertainty, raising concerns about bias in favor of activist shareholders. High-profile controversies—particularly the judicial scrutiny of Elon Musk’s $56 billion Tesla compensation package—have only added to those anxieties.

Texas lawmakers see an opportunity. By introducing Senate Bill 29—and its identical counterpart, House Bill 15—they are signaling their intent to create a commercial environment exceptionally favorable to corporations.

Key Provisions of Senate Bill 29 Senate Bill 29 proposes significant amendments to the Texas Business Organizations Code, impacting both for-profit and nonprofit entities in the state.

14 |

TEXAS

Business Judgment Rule The bill codifies the Business Judgment Rule, protecting directors from personal liability for decisions made in good faith. It shifts the burden of proof to plaintiffs in fiduciary duty breach cases.

Limits on Derivative Lawsuits Shareholders must own at least 3% of a company to file derivative lawsuits, discouraging frivolous claims. Companies can seek upfront rulings on director independence and prevent plaintiffs from recovering attorney fees in disclosureonly settlements.

Corporate Records Protection The bill restricts shareholder access to emails, texts and social media unless directly tied to corporate actions. It also strengthens rules against inspection demands for improper purposes.

Internal Dispute Resolution Companies could designate the Texas Business Court as the venue for governance disputes and include clauses waiving jury trials under specific conditions.

Implications for Delaware Texas’ reforms challenge Delaware’s dominance as a corporate hub. High-profile companies like Tesla and SpaceX have already reincorporated in Texas.

Meta is reportedly considering a similar move. Delaware, in response, enacted its own sweeping reforms, redefining director independence, stockholder control and transaction rules.

These changes aim to stem a potential exodus, as corporate fees account for 20% of Delaware’s budget revenue. However, the success of these measures remains uncertain.

Bottom Line

It’s widely expected that the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature will approve the reforms proposed by Senate Bill 29. Once passed, the law is set to take effect Sept. 1, unless adopted by a two-thirds vote in both the Texas Senate and House, in which case it would become immediately effective.

Companies considering incorporation or reincorporation in Delaware, Texas or elsewhere should closely monitor these developments and consult with legal counsel, as the enactment of Texas Senate Bill 29 would significantly reshape the risk-reward balance driving those decisions.

ADOBE STOCK/RAWF8

T

exas lawmakers have introduced a new bill aiming to challenge Delaware’s long-standing reputation as the premier state for business incorporation.

Amid growing discontent with recent Chancery Court rulings, Texas lawmakers aim to topple Delaware as the leading state for business incorporation by introducing reforms designed to create an exceptionally friendly commercial environment and establish Texas as a compelling alternative.

Should their efforts prove successful, the significant reforms under consideration could fundamentally transform the corporate governance landscape across the United States.

“The key to a successful practice is having clients that know you have their back, because that’s what builds strong, enduring relationships,” Brophy notes. “It’s these relationships that provide a satisfaction money can’t buy.”

“Nothing beats hard work, preparation, enjoying what you do and the confidence that nobody is better,” Brophy says. “We have obtained our success and reputation through hard work, zealous representation of our clients and top-shelf legal acumen. No shortcuts are taken; we don’t cut corners.”

Demanding Accountability The record-setting results of Lyons & Simmons drive change in corporate practices, public awareness

R

OBERT RYMERS was preparing a late-night meal in his San Antonio kitchen when his life changed forever. Without warning, a previously undetected natural gas build-up ignited, ripping apart the small home and leaving Robert with life-altering burns over more than 40 percent of his body. In the next room, the force of the blast caused Virginia Rymers, Robert’s mother, to suffer an air embolism, in addition to significant burns.

Despite independent investigations by the San Antonio Fire and Police Departments showing a natural gas leak as the most likely cause of the 2021 explosion, the region’s gas supplier, CPS Energy, offered multiple, inconsistent explanations for the disaster. Those explanations would be roundly rejected at the trial’s conclusion.

In February 2025, a jury returned a $109.5 million verdict against CPS for failing to properly maintain its gas system. The verdict is believed to be the largest negligence verdict in the history of Bexar County.

“I got into the practice of law for cases exactly like this one,” said Michael Lyons, who was lead counsel for the Rymers. “This case truly was a David and Goliath scenario. My clients were intellectually disabled and were being steamrolled by a system that did not care about them. I am really proud of the result for our clients and our entire trial team.”

Lyons says the facts of the case and size of the verdict – and resulting attention from news media – should force CPS to take a more serious approach to maintaining and repairing an aging gas infrastructure. Questions raised during the trial about gas system maintenance and safety should invite scrutiny from political leaders and the public.

“This outcome sends a message to the citizens of this region and across the state that you can hold big businesses accountable, and you can make changes in corporate behavior an expectation,” said Chris Simmons. “That’s the power a jury has with its verdict.”

Additional recent results obtained by Lyons &

Simmons serve as further examples of that mission.

In the wake of the tragic mass casualties and injuries at the Travis Scott concert at Houston’s Astroworld Festival in 2021, Michael Lyons and Chris Simmons served on the plaintiffs’ executive committee, taking a tip of the spear role in the case development which contributed to favorable settlements that were reached for all the death victims. By holding multiple defendants responsible for their collective actions, inactions and decisions, the safety and security protocols for concerts and other large outdoor events across the nation have been examined, and positive changes have been implemented.

“The Astroworld case presented the challenge of a mass casualty event where ten young people lost their lives, and the entire ordeal was witnessed by tens of thousands of people. The sheer volume of witnesses, people impacted and people involved seemed overwhelming at times,” said Lyons. “But it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career as a trial lawyer to play a meaningful part in one of the best choreographed and organized teams of gifted trial attorneys I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.”

In 2021, Lyons was lead counsel in a multi-fatality motor vehicle crash that resulted in the largest wrongful death verdict in the history of Midland County. Following that verdict, Lyons led a Lyons & Simmons trial team that secured the second largest medical malpractice verdict in the State of Texas for 2022. Lyons was also a part of a trial team that secured a victory for the family of Kierstin Smith who was tragically killed by a Tower Crane that collapsed in June of 2021 onto her apartment building. In April of 2023, a Dallas County jury rendered its verdict of more than $860 million.

The facts of the case showed that despite multiple weather warnings of significant storms, the crane operator failed to properly “weathervane” the crane at the end of his shift the night before the accident.

The industry’s best practice allows a crane to safely

rotate during periods of high winds, such as those reported shortly before the collapse.

The intense public attention following the event, together with the trial outcomes, brought greater scrutiny on construction safety protocols by developers and contractors across the real estate industry.

The safety of even the youngest guest should be the focus of any hospitality company. But unfortunately, that’s not always the case. After a toddler was left with permanent brain damage and seizures when her chair unexpectedly collapsed at a North Texas resort in 2021, Chris Simmons led a Lyons & Simmons team that uncovered that the seemingly random accident was one in a long string of similar chair failures at the same property.

“We discovered what was an open secret among employees of scores of chairs that had also collapsed under guests without warning,” said Simmons. “Rather than replace a dangerous product, employees were directed to repair those chairs or swap them out for a less damaged version. It was a shocking display of irresponsibility from a major hotel chain.”

Last year Simmons reached a confidential settlement that will take care of the child for a lifetime.

“All too often we discover that the corporate practices that result in a catastrophic injury or death are not just being allowed to happen, but in certain situations also encouraged,” said Simmons. “When you see that, you feel compelled not only to make things right for the client, but also to put an end to those practices before additional tragedies occur.”

“People in this country seem to be frustrated with a lot of things. The real power of the courthouse is that average citizens have a say in what is acceptable conduct in their community,” said Lyons. “It is one of the greatest honors of my life to be able to tell my clients stories to juries and appeal to ordinary people to do justice. And most of the time they seem to get it right.”

At Brophy & Bland, PLLC, an Austin-based firm known for its sophisticated litigation and business services, Brophy leads with meticulous preparation and strategic insight—qualities his clients count on when the stakes are high.

“Our clients expect us to fully understand not just the law, but their specific goals and pressures,” says Brophy. “They want a clear roadmap tailored to their situation, and they rely on our judgment because we take the time to really learn what drives their businesses.”

This depth of insight and personal investment in each client’s goals is a hallmark of Brophy’s practice. His reputation as a persuasive advocate traces back to his early career as an insurance defense lawyer trying cases before a jury, where he cultivated a rigorous approach and an ability to anticipate and navigate complex scenarios.

Today, this discipline continues to guide his

“Each client brings a different set of concerns and personalities to the table.” handling of significant commercial disputes, transactions and business decisions.

Indeed, clients across the country and internationally have come to rely on his advice, turning to Brophy & Bland for assistance on various issues, including business divorces, breach of contract actions, commercial property and development disputes, insurance actions, professional malpractice claims, construction disputes, intellectual property disputes and cyber-litigation.

“We don’t approach cases with a formula,” Brophy notes. “Each client brings a different set

of concerns and personalities to the table. Our job is to understand what matters most to them and then build a strategy that reflects that. That’s how you earn trust and ultimately get results.”

In recent years, Brophy & Bland has resolved disputes across the country—including an eightfigure settlement in Arizona federal court—and advised on transactions involving ongoing commercial development in Austin and beyond.

The firm maintains a significant litigation practice while continuing to serve as outside counsel to companies navigating operational challenges and growth.

To meet his clients’ evolving needs, Brophy has also expanded the firm. Charles Bland, who joined the firm in 2022 and has become a name partner, has added depth to the practice and strengthened its ability to deliver forwardlooking, dynamic representation. “The work we do carries real consequences, and we don’t take that lightly,” Brophy says. “We want our clients to know, without question, that they’re in capable hands.”

Four Decades and Not Slowing Down Dan Cogdell reflects on the complex cases defining his latest chapter

By John Fields

D

an Cogdell has always thrived in high-pressure environments. From successfully defending a Branch Davidian in the Waco siege trial to securing the lone acquittal in the Enron-Merrill Lynch prosecution, his career has been defined by high-stakes moments and an uncanny ability to win when the odds are steepest.

These days, his calendar is as full as ever.

“Thirty years ago, I figured I’d be sitting on a porch somewhere,” says Cogdell, whose results span hundreds of cases in 20 different states. “Instead, I’m busier than I’ve ever been.”

That momentum is as personal as it is professional. Now 80 pounds lighter and in better shape than he has been in decades, Cogdell credits an early morning wakeup call. “About three years ago I looked in the mirror at 5:00 a.m. and I just thought, ‘Enough,’” he recalls. “Time to get back

in the gym and start eating like an adult.”

That shift, he says, has left him with more energy for the demands of his practice—one that continues to attract some of the most complex, high-profile criminal matters in the state.

In 2024, a five-part Paramount series revisited Cogdell’s role in the Waco trial,

practice to more complex matters, such as representing the developers of a controversial North Texas subdivision under investigation by multiple state and federal agencies.

“There’s no merit to the investigations, in my opinion,” he says. “They’re purely political, initiated by various elected officials and primarily fueled by baseless claims from Gov. Abbott.”

Cogdell’s fall docket is a full slate of federal trials: a bribery trial, a medical fraud trial and multiple matters where he is defending lawyers and physicians. “I guess I am at that point in my career where both doctors and lawyers have figured out I am an able resource to assist them,” he says.

Still, he deflects praise. “I’m blessed to be in amazing health and supported by a great wife and an outstanding staff,” he says. “I’ve had the career I always wanted, and I’m not done yet.”

“I’ve had the career I always wanted, and I’m not done yet.” introducing a new audience to a case that helped define his early career. That same year, he secured a favorable outcome in a dramatic murder trial made all the more challenging by the fact that the entire incident was captured on video.

This year, Cogdell has seen a shift in his

That’s why people across Texas and beyond turn to The Law Offices of Frank L. Branson, a firm with a national reputation for results in the most serious cases.

Founder Frank L. Branson knows that catastrophic injuries don’t just change lives, they upend them. A workplace accident, a defective product injury or a traumatic brain injury can occur in an instant, but the consequences last a lifetime. These are the kinds of cases that demand trial lawyers with a deep understanding of the law, the facts and most importantly, the stakes involved.

setting verdicts and settlements, earning the firm a place among the country’s most elite trial teams.

The firm’s track record in trucking litigation speaks to that expertise. With Texas consistently leading the nation in commercial vehicle fatalities, Branson has made it his mission to hold negligent trucking companies accountable for

making sure no one gets away with endangering lives to protect their bottom line. “When negligence causes irreversible harm, we make sure truth comes to light in front of a jury.”

From fatal trucking accidents and industrial explosions to dangerous consumer produc t s, Branson’s f irm has exposed critical safet y failures and advocated for corporate change on behalf of injured clients and their families. Every case is a reminder of what’s at stake and that lives are depending on justice.

In recent years, Branson and his team have been included in Forbes Advisor’s list of Top 10 Personal Injury Lawyers in Dallas and recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® 2025 for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs, Texas Super Lawyers, Lawdragon 500 and D Magazine.

Fighting for the Public and Rooting Out Recklessness Tinsman & Sciano, Inc. CEO Daniel J. T. Sciano is one of Texas’s top authorities on cases involving catastrophic injury and wrongful death. Twice named Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in San Antonio, Sciano’s advocacy skills and trial work locally and nationally, coupled with his extensive legal knowledge, has led to him taking leadership roles in cases of national interest.

AGLE PASS, a city of 28,000 in Maverick County, sits on the border with Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico—making it a key point in the national immigration conversation.

“Federal agencies such as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have been collaborating with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) in Eagle Pass for years in an effort to curb illegal immigration as well as prevent gang and cartel members from entering the United States,” says Sciano, a 44-year board certified plaintiff’s trial lawyer.

In 2015, CBP issued its National Standards on Transport, Escort, Detention and Search (TEDS) to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those in CBP custody. But on Jan. 21, 2022, a tragedy unfolded during what should have been a routine migrant transport in a secure, designated all-wheel drive transport van in accordance with TEDS. Instead, an unsecured CBP pickup truck was utilized for transport. DPS Special Agent Anthony Salas and six apprehended, undocumented immigrants were transported in the bed of the pickup truck during the short unsafe transport in violation of national standards and CBP safety policies solely for ease of mission execution. The driver of the truck, a CBP agent, inattentively and negligently drove off a 20-foot-wide, well maintained ranch road at night, overturning the truck into a well-defined four-to-sixfoot irrigation ditch, fatally injuring Salas, a decorated U.S. Marine Corps veteran and married father of three minor children. The rollover also injured four of the six undocumented immigrants.

Salas, in critical condition, was airlifted to University Hospital in San Antonio where his wife of 18 years, in the presence of Salas’s mother and father, ultimately acceded in the removal of life support recommended by hospital personnel the following day. Seeking justice, the Salas family turned to

By Justin Smulison Sciano, known for his Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) expertise.

“Salas suffered severe and ultimately fatal injuries due to the unsafe operation of a CBP vehicle, that violated national uniform standards involving apprehension and detention,” notes Sciano, who The Best Lawyers in America® named as the San Antonio “Lawyer of the Year” in 2010 and 2012 for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs.

“The mandatory safety measures were in place to prevent this scenario, but were not complied with.

We anticipated a long fight after the government initially turned a blind eye to safety and then effectively issued a stiff arm when asked to fairly compensate the family, by refusing to even negotiate a resolution during the administrative phase.”

That legal battle will soon unfold in court. Trial is scheduled for June in federal district court in El Paso, Texas.

“Ease of mission is no excuse for violating prescriptive safety standards that would have prevented this tragedy,” Sciano says. “Our Texas DPS agents and their families who lose their loved ones deserve better. I believe this grieving family will be fairly compensated in an involuntary judgment, if voluntary resolution fails.”

In 2023, Sciano and a team of other firms made national headlines by jointly securing a $270 million FTCA judgment against the United States of America following the largest mass shooting in Texas at the Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs in 2017, which resulted in 26 deaths.

In 2024, he was named a 2024 Texas Watch Champion of Justice, a prestigious honor bestowed to individuals committed to the pursuit of justice, accountability and the protection of the constitutional right to a trial by jury.

Sciano’s decades of success in trucking litigation

and FTCA disputes uniquely position him to advocate for the Salas family, as he is triple board-certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) in Civil Trial Law, Civil Practice Advocacy and Truck Accident Law. This level of expertise is extremely rare. In Texas, less than 1% of licensed lawyers are Double Board-Certified in Personal Injury & Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Catastrophic Injury Representation Nationwide

Sciano’s presence is also being felt in federal court in Cook County, Illinois. He jointly represents children and their parents in a multidistrict litigation (MDL) formed to help resolve lawsuits filed throughout the U.S. by parents whose infants and children were impacted by contaminated powdered infant formula manufactured in Sturgis, Michigan. The facility where the product was manufactured was shut down in an agreed consent decree, when it became clear the location had unsanitary conditions that allowed bacterial contamination. Congress was told in hearings the facility had, “a disappointing lack of attention to the culture of safety.” Some of the children who ingested the contaminated formula sustained catastrophic brain injuries or died. Sciano had been a member of the plaintiffs’ steering committee and has recently moved into the position as one of four lead counsel in the continuing trial against Abbott Laboratories.

“We’re living in a time when negligence is constantly affecting where you work and what you eat and drink,” Sciano says. “Rooting out systemic recklessness is incredibly complex, and it is an honor to fight on behalf of individuals and families who have suffered injustices. The goal of our advocacy is to fairly compensate for loss and improve safety standards and systems to help prevent similar tragedies from happening again.”

RIN BOGDANOWICZ of Bogdanowicz Family Law is committed to helping families navigate the unique challenges of high-conflict divorces.

Bogdanowicz founded the boutique firm Bogdanowicz Family Law in 2019. After practicing at some of the most prestigious law firms in the area, it was important to her to craft a team of people who could provide dedicated legal services in the field of domestic litigation and answer the call of clients struggling with extremely complex custody and property issues.

Bogdanowicz is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a specialization held by approximately 1% of the attorneys in Texas, and handles cases in all areas of domestic and family law. She is a skilled negotiator, is trained in collaborative law and is also a certified family law mediator. But courtroom advocacy is where she shines.

“I’m persistent and won’t back down from a challenge,” she says. “We are a client-driven firm. Their needs are our top priority. Family law can be very complex, which is why I am always learning and growing to provide even better service to my clients.”

Bogdanowicz believes knowledge is the foundation of a good family lawyer. And compassion for clients is essential.

“If you cannot feel for and understand the clients, you will not be able to provide the high level of representation these clients deserve”, says Bogdanowicz.

elebrating over 80 years, the firm has represented corporate officials, doctors, lawyers, judges, legislators, journalists, athletes, entertainers, public officials and others. Dedicated to improving our Justice System and holding prosecutors accountable.

G&O represented exoneree Michael Morton, who wrongfully served 25 years for the murder of his wife, resulting in the reform of criminal discovery in Texas and the first ever criminal conviction of a prosecutor for the intentional suppression of favorable evidence. The firm represented exoneree, Hannah Overton, whose capital murder case was reversed and dismissed, got the first confession of error for Texas’ youngest death row inmate, and continues to seek vindication for Cameron Todd Willingham, whose wrongful execution was based on junk science.

G&O has successfully represented prominent business, professional, and public figures facing criminal and regulatory difficulties, including a U.S. Congressman in the Abscam Scandal, wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, rappers 2 Live Crew, NFL and NBA players, former Panamanian President Manuel Noriega before the United States Supreme Court, a lawyer in Operation Brilab and Gonzo journalist Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

“ONES TO WATCH” RECOGNITIONS These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years.

Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details

CATASTROPHIC INJURY, WRONGFUL DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY AND CIVIL TRIAL LAW

S

ince joining Tinsman & Sciano, Inc. in 1981, Daniel J.T. Sciano has emerged as one of Texas’ most recognized catastrophic injury attorneys. He continues to lead the firm, which in 2025 celebrated its 55th year representing the seriously injured.

Based in San Antonio, the Tinsman & Sciano team of seven lawyers plus medical staff, paralegals and legal assistants, are renowned for precedent-setting and headline-making cases.

“We continue to build on a legacy of excellence and are well-positioned to handle complex injury cases in Texas and nationwide,” said firm CEO Sciano, who The Best Lawyers in America® twice named as the San Antonio “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs. “The talent, expertise and integrity of our team— combined with its record of results—places this firm in an elite position of strength.”

But Tinsman & Sciano’s impact extends beyond record-breaking results. In addition to total compensation secured, the firm leads the way in legal influence, community impact and client satisfaction—setting the gold standard in personal injury law.

With risks seemingly everywhere—from defective products and unreasonably dangerous premises to workplace hazards and unsafe trucking companies whose safety management failures cause severe injury or death—Tinsman & Sciano’s personal injury and civil law expertise is constantly in demand in Texas and nationwide. Recent cases have resulted in multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements, including: • An incident involving a motor carrier transporting unsecured loads leading to a fatality.

• A delivery truck and trailer making an unsafe turn, striking a brick wall and seriously injuring a teacher.

•Unsafe premises leading to carbon monoxide poisoning due to improperly maintained furnaces.

• A company vehicle collision caused by an operator traveling at double the safe, recommended speed while texting on a blind curve, severely injuring a couple returning from their 50 th wedding anniversar y celebration.

Sciano made national headlines in 2023 by representing the family of one of the 26 victims killed in the Sutherland Springs church shooting in 2017—the largest mass

shooting in Texas. In that case, a Federal District Court judge placed the majority of responsibility on the United States of America for its actions and inactions in not reporting to the national database designed to prevent dangerous persons from purchasing guns from Federal Firearms Licensees.

Texas roads are fraught with risks as well. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Texas experienced more than 21,000 large truck crashes in 2024, 791 of which were fatal.

With similar statistics trending through the years, Sciano felt a special responsibility to continually improve the firm’s trucking litigation practice by enhancing his own knowledge and expertise.

Sciano is Board Certified in both Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is triple board certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) in Civil Trial, Civil Practice and Truck Accident Law. This achievement stands out in Texas, where less than one percent of licensed lawyers are double board certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

The media and legal community have honored him and the firm as well. Sciano was named a 2024 Texas Watch Champion of Justice, a prestigious honor bestowed to individuals committed to the pursuit of justice, accountability and the protection of the constitutional right to a trial by jury.

Since 2010, Best Law Firms® has ranked the firm as Metro Tier 1 in San Antonio for both Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law–Plaintiffs.

The Best Lawyers in America® has listed member Stephen F. Lazor as the San Antonio “Lawyer of the Year” for Medical Malpractice Law–Plaintiffs in 2021 and 2018. Best Law yers® also recognized associate Lawrence J. Webb in 2022 for his advocacy in Personal Injury Litigation– Plaintiffs. And the firm is clearly fostering young talent as well, as associate Aaron Valadez was included in the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America 2025 for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs.

“We believe in the value of peer reviews, as they signify the respect we have earned from our courtroom counterparts,” Sciano said. “We are committed to representation of our clients zealously within the bounds of the law, and commitment to strong advocacy and exemplary client service.”
