Houston, TX (August 21, 2025) – Twelve BoyarMiller attorneys have been recognized as Best Lawyers and three attorneys named Best Lawyers Ones to Watch in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America©. Three attorneys achieved first time rankings – Shareholder Lee Collins for Litigation – Real Estate, Shareholder Travis L. Johnson for Mergers and Acquisitions Law, and Senior Associate Alexandra Wolf for Commercial Litigation.

Best Lawyers’ lists of outstanding lawyers are based on confidential peer reviews by leading lawyers in the United States. The process is highly selective, with only 5% of U.S. lawyers and 3% globally earning the honor. Attorneys listed in Best Lawyers are widely regarded as the best legal talent in the world by both clients and legal professionals.

“Being recognized again by Best Lawyers is a tremendous honor,” Chairman Chris Hanslik remarked. “The fact that so many of our attorneys are consistently acknowledged speaks volumes about BoyarMiller and the commitment to clients that we nurture every day.”
