He has a national reputation as an expert and is regularly asked to speak and present to groups of his peers and to industry professionals.
Steve is often recognized by his peers and by outside organizations for excellence in the practice of law, and that recognition began early in his career.

There are 90,000 licensed attorneys in the state of Texas, so being named as one of the Top 100 is truly an honor. Steve has been selected an "Attorney of Influence" by his peers as published in the Fort Worth Business Press and recognized by the legal community as Top Personal Injury Attorney in Tarrant County in a survey conducted by Fort Worth, Texas Magazine for eleven consecutive years, starting in 2005.
