Unless you\u2019re swinging by a contracts course at Texas A&M School of Law<\/a>, you won\u2019t find a larger gathering of legal minds than at the annual cocktail reception honoring the Fort Worth Magazine Top Attorneys<\/a> [insert lawyer joke here]. Giving these legal practitioners an opportunity to converse outside the courtroom or arbitrator\u2019s office, the magazine toasted the city\u2019s best litigators, defenders, and prosecutors \u2014 the navigators of our complex legal system \u2014 at the ballroom in the Crescent Hotel and Spa<\/a> last night.<\/p>\n

With an open bar and open and generous conversation, the reception kicked off at 5:30 p.m. Hal Brown, Fort Worth Magazine co-founder and publisher, gave a short welcome speech thanking the event sponsors, AEKO Technologies and Forvis Mazars, and everyone for attending. He would also detail the process by which attorneys are selected, which involves peer voting, editorial vetting, and zero involvement or sway from advertisers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs there are 8,209 active attorneys in Tarrant and contiguous counties, excluding Dallas County, that means if you\u2019re on our 2025 top attorney list, your peers have voted you among the top 8%,\u201d Brown said in his remarks.<\/p>\n

Adding a little sustenance to the beer, wine, and whiskey, those who attended would also enjoy small bites provided by the Crescent Hotel and Spa that included sushi, chicken egg rolls, and veggie dumplings.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to those named a 2025 Fort Worth Magazine Top Attorney, and thank you to all those who attended and the event sponsors listed below.<\/p>\n
