Thirty-eight lawyers from six of Haynes Boone’s offices and 16 practice groups are featured in the 2024 Texas Super Lawyers directory, including some partners who ranked among the top lawyers in their practice areas.
Published annually by Thomson Reuters, Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations of lawyers in more than 70 practice areas. Of those nominated, only 5 percent of the total lawyers in the jurisdiction can be selected for inclusion.
Partners Charles Beckham Jr., Ben Mesches, Stephen Pezanosky and Mark Trachtenberg were listed among the Top 100 Super Lawyers in Texas.
Mesches and Pezanosky were also listed with Partner Victor Vital and Senior Counsel Nina Cortell among the Top 100 Super Lawyers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The Super Lawyers directory also rated Beckham, Trachtenberg and Senior Counsel Lynne Liberato among the Top 100 Houston Super Lawyers.

She, Cortell and Liberato, along with Partners Kit Addleman, Stacy Brainin, Karen Denney, Sakina Rasheed Foster, Laura O’Donnell and Susan Wetzel, Senior Counsel Karen Precella and Of Counsel Christina Crozier are all recognized in the Texas Super Lawyers Women’s Edition.
