AZA Honored by Best Law Firms for 14th Year and in Multiple Categories

HOUSTON – AZA is being recognized for the 14th year among the Best Law Firms in Houston and nationally by The Best Lawyers in America. 

This year, it is honored as a Tier 1 Houston firm for its appellate work and in five categories of litigation – commercial, intellectual property, employment law for management, construction and personal injury litigation for defendants. AZA received national tier recognition in both appellate and construction litigation.  

AZA was also named for Houston excellence in patent law, personal injury for plaintiffs and arbitration.  

“AZA is second to none within the litigation world. Their hands-on approach to building out a case strategy from the initial call is the best I have ever seen. They provide practical guidance and aim to win at everything they do. Despite the case background or bad facts, they will go full throttle to achieve the best result possible,” one client told Best Law Firms researchers.
