Two Lawyers at McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing L.L.P. Named Among the Top 5 Family Law Attorneys in Texas

Only Family Law Firm in Texas With Two "GO-TO" Honorees

(Dallas) - When we say that McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing L.L.P. has the best family lawyers in Texas, don't just take our word for it.

Texas Lawyer newspaper, the only independent newspaper dedicated to Texas law and attorneys, reports that Mike McCurley and Richard Orsinger are two of the top five Go-To lawyers practicing family and matrimonial law.

The respected editors and reporters at Texas Lawyer reached their decision after taking nominations, doing their own research and talking to hundreds of lawyers across the state. They asked attorneys, "Who would you want as your lawyer if you had a family law matter?"

McCurley, the former president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, was profiled in the Oct. 15 Texas Lawyer publication. According to McCurley, the legal system's long-held assumptions about the American family have undergone significant changes in the last thirty years.

Richard Orsinger, of counsel to McCurley Orsinger McCurley Nelson & Downing L.L.P., was noted in part for his skills on appeal. A lawyer interviewed for the Texas Lawyer Go-To Guide describes Orsinger as "unquestionably the most brilliant divorce lawyer in the world."

"We are truly honored to have been named to this list," says McCurley. "It means more to us that the selection was not made on popularity or advertising dollars. Our peers selected us, which is the greatest compliment we can receive."

Orsinger, who maintains his San Antonio office agrees: "The respect of the judges, your clients and your peers is what makes the practice of law meaningful."
