AZA Named to Best Law Firms for 15th Year In a Row

November 5, 2026

HOUSTON – AZA was recognized for the 15th consecutive year among the Best Law Firms in Houston and nationally by The Best Lawyers in America.  

This year, AZA is ranked as a Tier 1 Houston firm for its appellate work and in four litigation categories – commercial, intellectual property, construction and personal injury defense. AZA received national tier recognition in appellate and construction litigation.   

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

Best Lawyers collected these comments about AZA from our clients: 

  • “They are often 4-5 steps ahead of their opposing counsel, and frontload all of the work and discovery so there’s no last-minute rush. I truly appreciate their client service, their intelligence, and their trial skill.” 
  • “They go above and beyond just managing a case or litigation. They think strategically about each piece of evidence and the matter as a whole.” 
  • “Attorneys at the AZA law firm are smart, strategic, and among the most skilled trial attorneys around. I have first-hand experience witnessing AZA attorneys overwhelm opponents in court.” 
  • “They also are among the best at knowing how to address and anticipate in-house client needs, as well as developing rapport with company witnesses.” 
  • “I find them to be exceptionally talented and vested in the outcome. I highly recommend them to others.” 
  • “(AZA) is a really strong trial firm. They have helped us in commercial litigation and mass tort litigation. They have been extremely effective, and we strongly value our relationship with them.” 
  • “They have an excellent team of lawyers who put the client first and are consistently delivering.”
