DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Grant Schmidt, who has presided over the expansion of Hilgers PLLC’s North Texas footprint as its Dallas managing partner, has been selected for a third consecutive year to D Magazine’s annual Best Lawyers in Dallas listing.

“Our growth in Dallas is driven by client demand, and Grant has been exceptional in meeting that moment,” said chief executive officer Heather Hilgers. “He leads with a clear understanding of what clients need and how we deliver it.”

Mr. Schmidt was recognized for excellence in business/commercial litigation by D Magazine, which uses peer reviews and staff research to select the best attorneys in North Texas across a broad range of practice areas. Prior to making the Best Lawyers list, he was honored for five years on D’s Best Lawyers under 40 guide.

The continued recognition comes as Hilgers strengthens its position in the highly competitive Dallas legal market, where demand for sophisticated litigation and discovery counsel continues to grow.
