Rusty Hardin Named Top-Tier Trial Lawyer by Prestigious Chambers USA

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For a 14th consecutive year, Rusty Hardin & Associates founder Rusty Hardin has earned recognition by Chambers USA’s listing of the top lawyers and law firms in the country.

Mr. Hardin earned a Band 1 ranking – the highest possible – in four categories. He was named one of the nation’s top trial lawyers and a top-tier trial lawyer in Texas. He was also honored for his work as a Texas litigator handling white collar crime and government investigations and as a leading commercial litigator in the Houston area.

Chambers describes Mr. Hardin as an accomplished litigator who is “firmly positioned at the forefront of the state's litigation Bar, having earned a sterling reputation for his formidable trial skills and his track record in the courtroom.”

A third client told Chambers researchers, “Rusty Hardin is very intelligent. He is strategic, smart, thoughtful, and responsive.”

UK-based Chambers and Partners publishes its guide annually, determining rankings through a rigorous review process that includes attorney and reference interviews. Chambers selects honorees based on qualities such as technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, and commitment.

“Being recognized by Chambers is really special,” said Mr. Hardin. “I appreciate the honor, but mostly what is behind it – going into battle with an amazing team of lawyers as we fight on behalf of our clients.”
