Four Cantey Hanger attorneys have been recognized as “Texas Rising Stars” for 2019 by Texas Super Lawyers. The state list will appear in the April publication of Texas Monthly magazine.

The four, their law schools, and the practice areas for which they were recognized are:

• Christopher A. Klement, Civil Rights;

• Derek Carson, Business litigation;

• David Speed, Civil Litigation: Defense; and,

• Philip A. Vickers, Business litigation.

To be eligible for inclusion as a Rising Star, a candidate must be 40 years old or younger, or in practice 10 years or less.
