DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The renowned trial firm Dean Omar Branham Shirley, LLP, is pleased to announce that four of its attorneys have been named among the nation’s most talented young lawyers in Lawdragon’s 500 X – The Next Generation guide for 2024.

The publication describes the honorees featured as “the future leaders of law.” The national legal guide selected attorneys Jordan Bollinger, Aaron D. Chapman, Rachel A. Gross and Sam Iola for work in plaintiff litigation.

“Each of our attorneys listed understands that our work makes an impact in the lives of our clients,” says managing partner Trey Branham. “They take seriously the duty we have to hold bad actors to account.”

Lawdragon selected the firm’s attorneys for their plaintiffs work touting litigation excellence in asbestos-related matters.

Ms. Bollinger has more than nine years of litigation experience. Last year, her work contributed to a $29 million South Carolina jury verdict in 2023.

Mr. Chapman's litigation experience includes winning the largest asbestos-related personal injury verdict in the state of Nevada in 2021.
