Moyé acts as lead counsel on highly complex matters in a wide variety of disciplines, including antitrust, intellectual property, class actions, and commercial and business disputes. She is nationally recognized for her abilities and accomplishments as a trial lawyer.

Recine is a first-chair trial lawyer with extensive experience handling complex real estate disputes; disputes concerning distressed assets, structured products and CMBS; civil RICO;  securities actions; regulatory disputes, professional malpractice; tax; and other high-stakes matters.

Renfroe has a national trial practice focusing on toxic tort, environmental, product liability and commercial disputes. She represents clients in the energy and manufacturing sectors around the country. She is also managing partner of the firm’s Houston office.

The lawyers were chosen through several phases of research, including individual litigators’ professional activities, client feedback surveys and one-on-one interviews.
