Both of their names will be featured in the Rising Stars Edition of the April 2017 issue of Texas Super Lawyers  magazine published by Thomson Reuters.

According to the Super Lawyers rating service, Mr. Henderson and Mr. Wigle received the honor for distinguishing themselves in their practice and exhibiting excellence in the practice of law.

Selections for Rising Stars occur annually and by state. Those attorneys chosen for the honor are identified through a meticulous selection process. They are evaluated on peer recognition, a blue ribbon panel, and professional achievement. Finally, the selections are grouped by practice area. The 2017 Texas Rising Stars list recognizes Mr. Henderson and Mr. Wigle for their practice in representing plaintiffs involved in personal injury cases. To qualify for the Top 100 Up-and-Coming Texas Rising Stars list, a lawyer’s total score must reflect top rankings in each phase of the selection process. The Rising Stars distinction is only reserved for the top 2.5 percent of attorneys practicing in the state of Texas who are either 40 years old or younger, or those lawyers who have been in practice for 10 years or less.
