Cogdell Law Firm, PLLC has been in business for almost 35 years. With its primary office in Houston and plans for opening a Dallas office this fall, it has successfully represented hundreds of satisfied clients. The boutique firm caters to a niche practice area, focusing on white-collar criminal defense, grand jury investigations and internal investigations. “We are not a one-sizefits-all law firm. We are selective about assuming responsibility in matters, and we take on a limited number of cases so that we are fully committed to those matters,” says the firm’s founder, Dan Cogdell.

insman & Sciano is one of the most successful T plaintiffs’ law firms in the greater San Antonio area. Led by CEO Daniel J.T. Sciano and staffed with multiple board-

certified personal injury and civil trial attorneys and associates, the firm represents clients in catastrophic injury cases, medical malpractice matters, oil and gas royalty disputes and other civil matters. Since the firm’s founding 50 years ago, Tinsman & Sciano lawyers have secured hundreds of millions of dollars in favorable verdicts and settlements on behalf of their clients; their successes in 2018 and 2019 contributed significantly to that impressive number. Still, Sciano says, client satisfaction remains the overarching goal. “Our clients need courtroom fighters, and we are proud to have that reputation,” he says. “Our ability to almost instantly connect with our clients, many of whom come to us by referral, is what continually fuels us.” Working through claims involving, among much else, catastrophic injury and wrongful death caused by company vehicle wrecks, defective premises, and unsafe work conditions, Tinsman & Sciano lawyers have continually secured record-setting results and maximum compensation for their clients. In 2019, the firm obtained several eight-figure settlements, including a traumatic brain injury case stemming from unreasonably dangerous premises conditions, as well as multiple company-vehicle collision cases: the fatal injury of a petroleum engineer, the fatal injury of a high-ranking political figure, a matter involving an off-duty sheriff’s deputy, and a

heartrending wrongful-death case involving cargo securement that resulted in a family losing their only son. The last case entailed a verdict that was noteworthy for being one of the highest of its kind in Bexar County and for being affirmed on appeal for actual and exemplary damages. “The appellate result was even more significant because affirmation of a jury’s determination of the amount awarded for the death of an adult child, coupled with exemplary damages findings and award, are rarely held in a contested appeal— particularly when it involves the death of an adult child,” Sciano said. “That this one was affirmed by the court of appeals demonstrates the importance of the firm’s foresight in presenting legal theories that will be affirmed if a verdict is appealed.” The firm and its leaders have been honored by the media and legal community as well. Tinsman & Sciano has been named a Tier 1 firm in San Antonio for both Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law–Plaintiffs by U.S. News—Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” in 2020. Sciano also lauds the firm’s resilience during the coronavirus pandemic, praising his attorneys and staff for performing with the same high degree of professionalism while working remotely and amid court closings. “During the most tumultuous of times, our lawyers and staff adjusted and demonstrated a total commitment to our clients and the pursuit of justice,” Sciano says. “Everyone was put to the test, and I can say with full confidence that we delivered. Even under quarantine, clients can depend on us.”

ARIETY. THAT’S THE WORD that best describes the cases on which Amy Warr, Austin’s 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” for Appellate Practice, works. After five years as an assistant solicitor general for the State of Texas, Warr began working for Alexander Dubose & Jefferson in 2007. She handles appeals in a multitude of areas including trade secrets, eminent domain, personal injury, and governmental immunity. Warr has worked on many prominent cases with mandamus actions, one of which was the largest child-protection case in United States history: In 2008, the State of Texas removed more than 400 children from the Yearning for Zion ranch in West Texas. Partnering with the nonprofit Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, Warr represented 30 mothers and won the return of their children. “We work on virtually every type of civil case,” she says, “so I never get bored.” In addition to its variety, Warr says she finds two things most rewarding about her field of law: “The intellectual challenge—we’re always thinking not only about what the law is, but what it should be. And the collegiality. The appellate bar is small and extremely

professional, and I have the most skilled and generous colleagues imaginable.” Naturally, there are aspects of her practice that Warr finds challenging, too. “We must continually deal with areas of the law that are unfamiliar to us,” she explains. “Fortunately, the trial lawyers we work with are usually experts in a particular field and can provide invaluable guidance.” Which accomplishments contributed to Warr’s receiving the highest rating from her peers and winning “Lawyer of the Year” in Appellate Practice? It’s no single thing. “In recent years, I have prevailed in several very high-profile matters in the Supreme Court of Texas,” she says. “I’ve also handled several important pro bono matters, for which I was recognized locally, at a statewide level, and nationally.” Warr’s years of experience have taught her there are certain traits integral to becoming a great appellate attorney. “[They’re the] same qualities it takes to be good at anything,” she says. “A strong work ethic, a willingness to look critically at your own work and accept criticism, and a commitment to constantly improving your skills, no matter how many years you’ve been practicing.”

GETTING SCHOOLED

Public-education policy is fraught throughout the United States, and Texas is certainly no different. By Janice Zhou

NOWLEDGE AND INSIGHT informed by a keen intellect are powerful tools—essential elements of a successful life. What happens, though, when children do not have access to quality schooling? The problems of American education have been a burning political issue for decades, but “education reform” in general is an overbroad catchall of limited utility to students whose schools’ deficiencies defy uniform categorization. The Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association says it’s working diligently to ensure “an adequate and equitable funding system for Texas public schools.” Their legislative priorities include an increase in the “state share of the Foundation School program to 50 percent.” To some extent, that’s where Lone Star voters are, too: A February 2019 poll by the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin showed that Texans believe the biggest problems facing K-12 public schools in their state, in descending order of importance, are low teacher pay, unequal distribution of resources, school accountability, and teacher quality. To get a sense of the current state of Texas education, we checked in with Best Lawyers– recognized at torney “The problems of Jay Brim, of Brim, American education have Robinett, Cantu & Brim been a burning political in Austin, who filed his issue for decades.” responses jointly with Mark Robinett, his legal partner of 34 years.

Jay Brim

RECOGNIZED FOR EDUCATION LAW SINCE 2009

Mark Robinett

Teacher pay is a perennial hot issue—perhaps even more so now, with instructors having to revise their curriculum amid the pandemic. Are teachers paid less than they deserve, and if so, what legal remedies are available to them? Teachers have always been paid less than they deserve. It’s a political issue decided at the state level; Texas teachers may not collectively bargain. How can schools get more money? Are there legal measures they can pursue? Texas school districts face severe limitations on their ability to tax and have to depend on local philanthropic giving to bridge the gap. Districts without a significant segment of wealthy patrons don’t have that opportunity. A major problem over the last 30 years has been the insistence of the Texas legislature to shift funding away from the state to the local level and to offer more and more of a slice of the pie to charter schools. Is that the culprit behind unequal distribution of resources among school districts? If so, what can be done? Over the past 45 years, Texas has seen its system of school finance repeatedly litigated, to little effect due to the failure of the Texas legislature and our governors to find a better system. A visit to suburban school districts, then to any urban district, will show the disparity of resources. Property- and sales-tax revenues have been inadequate to fund the needs of public education. Would an increase in school accountability help? It can be argued that Texas schools face too much accountability rather than not enough. State testing requirements have forced teachers to refocus their efforts toward good results. “Teaching to the tests” has become the norm. Is there a good way to improve teacher quality? The quality of teaching in Texas has come into question perceptually because of societal changes which have led to a loss of respect for the profession. Much has been written about the loss of potentially outstanding female teachers whose choices for career paths formerly were limited to education or nursing; those same candidates now get degrees in law, medicine, or business. Many teachers are now second-career people, with limited pedagogical training. It takes time to build up the experience to replace what many previously came into the classroom with from college. How is Texas faring with these issues relative to other states? Texas still produces outstanding students from its public schools, and those students compete well with students from other states for places in the best colleges. All the states face similar challenges in overcoming the changes in American culture that are challenging education. Teachers everywhere have to fight through the rapt attention of their students with their electronic devices. What other issues do you believe need to be addressed? The people who began our country and this state believed public education was foundational for an informed citizenry. We can’t let that change. W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM | 13

TRIAL LAW LEADERSHIP

Daniel J.T. Sciano, twice-named Best Lawyers® San Antonio “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs (2010, 2012), discusses how his record of success impacts clients and Texas’ legal community By Justin Smulison

H E N DA N I E L J .T. S CI A NO accepts a case, he always prepares for the long haul. That helps explain why the CEO of Tinsman & Sciano has continually secured seven- and eight-figure results throughout his 39 years in practice. His office is in San Antonio, but he handles matters both statewide and nationally. “I argue most of my own cases but am supported by a team of dedicated professionals,” says Sciano who was named San Antonio Best Lawyers ® “Lawyer of the Year” for Personal Injury Litigation– Plaintiffs in 2010 and 2012. “I believe in my clients, am passionate in my advocacy, and work tirelessly to ensure [that] my clients obtain full justice.” Sciano exemplified this philosophy even further in 2018 and 2019, when, as head of a firm whose history spans more than 50 years, he secured dozens of favorable settlements and a record-setting verdict on behalf of injured victims and their families. The firm obtained millions of dollars for clients by litigating in several of its hallmark practice areas: company-vehicle wrecks (18-wheelers, buses, and other commercial motor vehicles); unreasonably

dangerous premises conditions (carbonmonoxide poisoning, as well as slips and falls); and oil-and-gas litigation (royalty a nd minera l-rights disputes). Scia no made pa rticu la r strides i n truck i ng litigation, ultimately resolving dozens of company-vehicle wrecks that resulted in catastrophic injuries or fatalities.

“Our clients need courtroom fighters, and we are proud to have that reputation.” Even defendants have been inspired. Following a favorable resolution, the company his firm litigated against invited Sciano to lead its on-site training in an effort to curb injuries. “We truly believe that improved safety standards can save lives and reduce harm,” he says. “When a company demonstrates a willingness to change because of our involvement, then we have made a special difference outside the courtroom.”

LEADING THE LEGAL COMMUNITY Sciano is board-certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in two areas: personal-injury trial law and civil trial law. A past president of the San Antonio Trial Lawyers Association, Sciano frequently speaks on federal motor-carrier safety regulations. He writes and speaks at the State Bar of Texas’s advanced personalinjury and trucking course, as well as to various local bar associations as a recognized leader in providing continuing legal education. In 2019, he passed a national boardcertification exam, adding “Board Certified Truck Accident Advocate—National Board of Trial Advocacy” to his Civil Trial Advocate and Civil Practice Advocate certifications with the National Board of Trial Advocacy. “I believe that strengthening the legal and safety community betters our clients’ position when representing them,” he says. “They expect us to be more knowledgeable a nd pre pa red t h a n ou r cou r t room adversaries, and my trial team proudly strives to meet that expectation.”

BROPHY & DEVANEY, PLLC Joseph F. Brophy embraces his reputation for his zealous representation of his clients and is passionate about learning their businesses and problems and ensuring that their rights are protected and their interests are maximized, whether by way of litigation or transaction.

rophy & Devaney, PLLC, is recognized as one of Texas’s leading civil litigation boutiques and business law firms. “From small contract disputes to bet-thecompany cases, we are prepared to handle any business dispute,” Brophy says. “We have broad experience on both sides of the docket, which allows us to better assess the strengths and weaknesses of our case and those of our opponents.” Brophy leads a broad-based business practice, including both transactional and litigation work. “Our reach extends coast to coast, from the proverbial boardroom to the courtroom,” he says. Brophy h a s h a d t he pr iv i lege of practicing with several great lawyers over the last 27 years. That experience has resulted in Brophy handling a wide array of clientele, largely in Texas, but across the country and internationally, as well. The firm’s clientele includes individuals, small businesses and large businesses and have included former senior government officials from the Defense Department, Nat ion a l I ntel l igence a nd S ec u r it y Agencies, law professors, local and national businesses of all types, an owner of an NFL franchise, real estate firms, law firms,

medical businesses and doctors, insurance companies, IT companies, construction companies, franchisors and franchisees, business executives and owners of all types. Joe is also asked to assist from time to time with high net worth divorces.

“From small contract disputes to bet-thecompany cases, we are prepared to handle any business dispute.” “I truly have had a challenging but extremely interesting career, from representing billionaires, large companies to start-ups and individuals struggling to survive. I take no client for granted. I did not come from a silk stocking or blue-blood background, far from it. My grandfather, an Irish Immigrant escaping British rule and the early 20th century troubles in Ireland, became a prominent union leader in New York City, and my father put himself through college after the United States Marine Corps.

Like my father, I went to work early with a newspaper route and lawn mowing service. I worked my way through high school, college and law school, largely covering the cost of same. My sisters, brothers, and I were taught to earn what we get and treat others regardless of their station in life with respect. We were fortunate that our parents placed a great value on education and starting with a Jesuit Preparatory education, my siblings and I have prospered from a strong foundation.” Brophy has been selected multiple times for inclusion in Princeton Global Networks’ Top 100 Lawyers in America, The Best Lawyers in America © in Commercial Litigation from 2013 to 2020, and America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators. He has been featured on multiple covers of Best Lawyers, Texas Best Lawyers (2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019), Austin and San Antonio editions and has been featured on multiple prior occasions in Texas’ Best Lawyers as published in various periodicals in Texas, including the Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express-News, the Wall Street Journal and various other publications. Joe has been recognized as a Texas Super Lawyer, as well. W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM | 19

A TRIAL ICON Dan Cogdell on his almost four decades of courtroom success By Sean Stonefield

an Cogdell has spent nearly four decades honing his skill as a trial law yer—ser ving as lead counsel in more than 300 jury cases in a variety of states across the US. He has successfully represented professional athletes, CEOs, doctors, members of law enforcement, lawyers, mayors, judges, politicians and many others in matters involving a myriad of offenses including white-collar offenses, internal investigations, grand jury investigations, health care fraud, environmental crime, and banking and securities fraud. His early and sustained success at trial—often in some of the most high-profile and influential cases in state history—has in turn garnered him a reputation as a trial icon. Some of Cogdell’s best-known cases include representing an Enron accountant in the Enron-Merrill Lynch trial, for which he obtained the sole acquittal of that or any other Enron trial. Another watershed moment in Cogdell’s career came in the mid-1990s, when he achieved an acquittal for a client in federal conspiracy trial for one of 11 Branch Davidians following the siege of their compound near Waco, Texas. The Oxygen Network recently aired

a one-hour documentary on Cogdell’s defense called “Waco: In Defense Of.” Currently, there are plans to produce a second documentary about another trial Cogdell was involved in where he used a cattle prod on himself to prove a point in attacking the testimony of the state’s medical examiner.

“When you hold someone’s future in your hand, it is experience and judgment that matter.” Among his other notable results, Cogdel l successf u l ly defended alternative cancer treatment physician Dr. St a n i sl aw Bu rz y n sk i i n bot h Federal Court against criminal charges and as part of a team of lawyers who successfully represented him before the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also hired Cogdell to lead his defense team in fighting a felony securities charges. Cogdell is currently in trial defending

a case for a global chemicals producer involving a plant in Crosby, Texas, that experienced an explosion during the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Indeed, Cogdell isn’t one to look backward—even with all of his historic successes, he is more energized than ever, particularly with the re-opening of his own boutique law firm: “Big law firms unquestionably have some very talented people, but few—if any—have had anything close to my success in actually defending folks in a courtroom. When you hold someone’s future in your hand, it is experience and judgment that matter. That is what I bring to the table. I have found that the number of lawyers at a firm is largely an irrelevant data point. My clients hire me for my experience and my ability. What floor the elevator stops on to get to me has never made a difference.” “In my almost 40 years of defending clients, I have had the pleasure of helping some really good people and companies who are facing extreme challenges. Doing what I do isn’t ever easy, but the rewards of helping folks get through some of their toughest times make the sacrifices worthwhile.” W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

BIG CASE WARRIORS The co-founders of Lyons & Simmons, LLP discuss their relentless dedication to pursuing justice for clients while also invoking change.

ichael Lyons and Chris Simmons have a reputation for obtaining big results in important cases, and when you talk to them you understand why. They are passionate about helping their clients while also invoking change. In the early morning hours of Jan. 22, 2018, a gas well operation in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, caught fire. The worst oil-field incident in Ok la homa histor y a nd the deadliest in the U.S. since the 2010 Macondo Deepwater Horizon blowout, the fire was so intense it could be seen on satellite images. Michael Lyons and Chris Simmons were hired to represent the family of one of the five men burned alive trying to escape the blaze. “The human tragedy from this case still haunts me. I think about it all the time. The circumstances that led to that blowout should have never happened,” Lyons recounted, adding that he believes his job is more than serving as a financial conduit for his clients. “So many lives were impacted, and that really weighed on us, but I cannot tell you how proud I am with the result for our clients. What we were able to demonstrate in that case will help change the culture that allowed this to happen. It is gratifying to provide the victims’ loved ones with the promise that change will occur so this doesn’t happen to other families,” Lyons said. “I’ve been told the civil justice system is about compensating the victims of civil wrongs. While that is true, it ignores the bigger picture. When used properly, the civil justice system will also

serve to police corporate activity. That creates a responsibility for a trial lawyer.” For the past 20 years, Lyons’ practice has focused on large personal injury, wrongful death, and business dispute cases, and through his success, big cases followed. Since joining forces with Chris Simmons to form Lyons & Simmons, LLP, there is no secret to why those cases have continued to find them. Lyons and Simmons are truly warriors for their clients’ causes.

“Sometimes change may not be achievable, but righting the wrong is.” In 2019, Lyons and Simmons represented the victim of a particularly unsettling sexual assault. “Our client was suffering from the devastating effects of dementia, which left her particularly vulnerable to an assault in her own home by a cable [TV] worker,” Simmons said. What their investigation would ultimately uncover is what he called a “blind spot” in the hiring practices of communications companies. “We were in the middle of testimony by corporate representatives when it became obvious that the screening ball had been dropped. It was like the light went on, and they finally got it,” Simmons said. “I can’t tell you how satisfying that was for us. It’s why we do what we do, to inspire change where it would otherwise never occur.”

Sometimes change may not be achievable, but righting the wrong is. Lyons filed a much publicized multimillion-dollar lawsuit in 2019 against the University of Kansas alleging it engineered NCAA violations to change the characterization of former head football coach David Beaty’s firing in order to avoid the buyout provision in his contract. “The publicly available details of the case are egregious. What hasn’t been reported is what it has done to my client and his family. It has been devastating for them,” Lyons said. “My clients’ problems are my problems. I literally lose sleep at night thinking about how they have been wronged and how I intend to fix it.” The Beaty case is not only emblematic of Lyons’ relentless pursuit of righting the wrongs experienced by clients, but it also signifies his unflinching attitude about taking on large institutions. “Most of our cases are David vs. Goliath stories. It is usually us against some giant institution represented by a team of big-firm lawyers whose strategy is to outspend and outflank you. I just say, ‘Bring it on.’” That confidence is not unfounded. Lyons & Simmons wins for its clients. “Our firm’s mission is to provide representation on par with, if not better than, that of any billionaire or giant multinational corporation. Economic status or what ill-fated misfortune you’re faced with should not determine your chance to win in the civil justice system. That’s unAmerican.”
