Michael Gerstle and Steve Snelson Earn Best Lawyers 2027 Honors

Gerstle, who has maintained a consistent presence on the list since 2018, received accolades for both Construction Law and Professional Malpractice Law—Defendants. His partner, Snelson, earned his second consecutive inclusion since his 2025 debut, with specific recognition in Construction Law and Construction Litigation. The selection process relies exclusively on confidential evaluations from attorneys operating within the same geographic and practice sectors, ensuring the honors reflect professional reputation rather than marketing influence.

Operating out of offices in Dallas and Austin, the firm focuses on the complexities of the Texas construction industry. Their practice serves a diverse client base ranging from general contractors and design professionals to insurers and public entities. According to Gerstle, the peer-based nature of the award serves as a validation of the firm’s long-standing professional relationships and their ongoing commitment to complex litigation and transactional matters throughout the state.
