Lyons & Simmons Partners Named Among 2025 Leading Lawyers in America

Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons recognized for trial success on behalf of plaintiffs

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trial firm Lyons & Simmons co-founders Michael Lyons and Chris Simmons have earned recognition on the 2025 Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America list.

Leading Lawyers honors are reserved for the top 500 attorneys nationwide across all areas of practice. Noting that the list is “a celebration of lawyering and those whose art is its craft,” editors praised those selected for their “courage to never give up on behalf of a client, a firm, and this notion of justice that can seem as divergent as unifying.”

Lyons and Simmons were selected to the exclusive list based upon their impressive track record of securing significant verdicts and settlements for clients in complex catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases in Texas and throughout the country.

This is the second Leading Lawyers selection for Lyons, who has also consistently been honored among The Best Lawyers in America. In addition, his work has earned recognition from Texas Super Lawyers among the Top 100 Lawyers in Texas and Dallas-Fort Worth, as well as honors from D Magazine and The National Law Journal.

Simmons’ work has garnered professional accolades from The Best Lawyers in America, Texas Super Lawyers, Texas Lawyer, D Magazine, The National Law Journal and National Trial Lawyers. This is his first selection to Lawdragon Leading Lawyers.

First published in 2005, Leading Lawyers is Lawdragon’s original legal guide and remains its most exclusive honor. Selection is based on year-round editorial research, supplemented by peer nominations and third-party evaluation.
