The best.

The internet is amazing. There is a world of information at our fingertips every second of every day. And that's a great thing ... generally.

But when the time comes to choose a restaurant, or a doctor, or someone to repair your roof, where do you go? How do you cut through all of the information that is out there? How do you avoid falling victim to someone who has posted incorrect information?

We like to think we have the solution: The Best of East Texas.

The results are in. You, the readers of the Longview News-Journal and newsjournal.com, have weighed in on your favorite businesses and personalities. With hundreds of thousands of votes spread across more than 200 categories, this is the biggest Best of East Texas edition yet.

And we’d like to think this is the best Best of East Texas yet, not only because there are more votes across more categories, but because of the magazine you are holding.

We hope you enjoy this version of the Best of East Texas, and keep it until the 2024 version comes out.

CHRISTUS Health

East Texas Trial Lawyers Get National Results.

Goudarzi & Young is the best trial firm in the state devoted to representing people who are injured by the careless acts of others. The firm has represented over 26,000 individuals.

Through unrelenting advocacy and tenacity, Goudarzi & Young has obtained over a billion dollars in verdicts and settlements in the past 5 years alone. In one six-month period, Goudarzi & Young obtained over $410 million in jury verdicts – four different trials with personal injury awards ranging from $22 million to $260 million.

These historic verdicts have led to historic settlements. Goudarzi & Young obtained a $140 million settlement for one client – the largest single plaintiff settlement in American history. In 2020, the firm obtained a $52 million settlement for a single wrongful death, which was the largest settlement for a single wrongful death in American history. Goudarzi & Young obtained this settlement despite the difficulties facing the legal profession during the pandemic, including the fact that virtually all civil trials had been postponed.

In 2022, Goudarzi & Young exceeded their own record by settling a single wrongful death case for $55 million. Six months later, Goudarzi & Young again broke their own record, by settling two wrongful deaths for $75 million each.

Insurance carriers and corporations know they must respect Goudarzi & Young more than any other firm because of the results the firm has obtained. These verdicts and settlements have changed industries and made the roads safer; not only for Texans, but for the entire nation. Goudarzi & Young will continue to try cases and hold corporations and individuals accountable when they negligently injure others.

We are here to help with:

• 18-Wheeler Accidents

• Car Accidents

• Oilfield Injuries

• Property Injuries

• Burn Injuries

• Insurance Claims

• Product Injuries

• Wrongful Death

In 2022, they recovered $1 billion in verdicts and settlements.
