“We are fiercely proud of this guide, the lawyers on it, the process that creates it and what it means: that being a great lawyer, a powerful lawyer is not just a plaque on the wall. It is an act of courage to never give up on behalf of a client, a firm, and this notion of justice that can seem as divergent as unifying,” said Lawdragon publisher Katrina Dewey.

Mr. Schouest has over 35 years of experience representing and defending clients in a variety of areas, including admiralty and maritime law and Defense Base Act practice areas. His experience and expertise have also made him the preferred legal counsel for many of the world’s largest insurance companies dealing with high stakes and legally complex cases.

This Lawdragon recognition is Mr. Schouest’s most recent accolade. He was also named a 2025 “Lawyer of the Year” by The Best Lawyers in America, and has been recognized by Texas Super Lawyers for 2013-2024.
