Five ONDA Attorneys Named to the Lawdragon’s List of Top Young Lawyers for 2025

Selections underscore ONDA’s position as a leader in Texas family law

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Five attorneys with family law firm Orsinger, Nelson, Downing & Anderson have been selected to the Lawdragon 500 X — The Next Generation of Leading Lawyers list for 2025.

The list from globally recognized legal guide Lawdragon includes the top young attorneys in the world, based on journalistic research and peer vetting by the Lawdragon editorial team.

“These lawyers provide a forecast of the fascinating future of global law practice,” Lawdragon said in announcing this year’s list.

ONDA partner Jacob Jeffries and associates Melissa Cowle and Christopher Lambert are repeat honorees, and associates Christopher Konneker and Frances Seman made the list for the first time. Each was recognized for their expertise in family law.

“We are proud to have so many ONDA attorneys on this list,” managing partner Scott Downing said. “It demonstrates the firm’s commitment to its clients in having so many talented lawyers on our team.”

Mr. Jeffries, who has been on the list since the guide’s inauguration two years ago, has extensive experience handling family law matters, including divorce, child custody and support, property division, marital agreements, appeals, enforcements and matters that are rarely litigated or that involve more obscure issues from the Texas Family Code.

Mr. Jeffries, Ms. Cowle, Mr. Lambert and Mr. Konneker are all board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a designation that requires specific practice qualifications, references, extended family law education, comprehensive testing and demonstrated expertise in family law cases.

Lawdragon has more than 35 years of experience in researching and reporting on the legal profession and creating guides to highlight the best legal professionals in various areas of practice.
