Three Firm Attorneys Recognized as Rising Stars

Waters & Kraus Attorneys are celebrated for their work.

Dallas attorneys Erin Wood, Patrick Wigle, and Christopher Johnson have been named for inclusion on the Texas Rising Stars list. Mr. Wigle has also been selected to appear on the list of Top 100 Up-and-Coming Texas Rising Stars. The lists will be featured in both April 2018 issues of the Texas Super Lawyers Magazine – Rising Stars Edition published by Thomson Reuters and Texas Monthly magazine.

The Rising Stars list is created annually on a state-by-state basis. Attorneys are recognized through a multi-phase process and evaluated based on professional achievement and peer recognition. This honor is reserved for only the top 2.5 percent of attorneys practicing in the state of Texas who are 40 years old or younger or those who have been practicing for less than 10 years. The Top 100 Up-and-Coming list takes this exclusivity one step further, featuring selected Rising Stars attorneys with the most total points earned in the evaluation process.
