Texas' Best Lawyers 2022

Our Texas' Best Lawyers 2022 publication features top-ranked legal talent in Texas.

June 15, 2022 06:00 AM

The 2022 Texas’ Best Lawyers publication includes top-ranked Texan legal talent excerpted from The Best Lawyers in America^® and the second edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America as well as articles highlighting some of Texas’ most prolific legal news, attorneys and firms.

In this issue, we feature Dallas-based personal injury lawyer Frank L. Branson, founder of The Law Offices of Frank L. Branson and member of the Best Lawyers Advisory Board. Branson discusses the dangers of inexperienced and under qualified truck drivers on the road and how their poor training can lead to unsafe roadways. Near record levels of highway accidents involving large trucks are contributing to injury and death across the nation. Branson is continuing his more than 30 years of work exposing trucking companies and raising awareness for truck safety, urging companies to offer better training, adequate supervision and better conditions for drivers. Background checks and better screening processes are also needed for truck drivers. Branson states: “There’s no excuse for cutting safety when 40-ton 18-wheelers are sharing the roads with motorists.”

This issue also features cover stories and articles about:
