Partners Jessica Barger, Eva Guzman, Wanda McKee Fowler, and Tom Wright were recognized for appellate work
Wright Close & Barger announced today it has once again earned recognition from Chambers USA, which is widely considered one of the most prestigious guides in the legal industry.
The firm was recognized for its expertise and excellence in appellate law in Texas. Firm partners Jessica Barger, Justice Eva Guzman, Justice Wanda McKee Fowler, and Tom Wright each earned individual recognition for their work as appellate lawyers.
Chambers describes Wright Close & Barger as “a respected litigation boutique with a strong track record before state and federal appeals courts.”
“Wright Close & Barger brings real world experience in addition to superb legal credentials,” said a firm client to Chambers researchers. “I have the utmost confidence in representation by the firm.”
Another client said the firm “has a deep bench of great appellate lawyers.”
A third said, “Wright Close & Barger has understanding, knowledge and appreciation of the appellate process and judges. The firm has a keen knowledge of the law.”
Mr. Wright, who marks his tenth year recognized by Chambers, was described by a client as “a great lawyer who understands the substance. He is very well informed, keeps clients abreast and knows how to tailor his arguments.”
Another client said, “Tom has the zeal. He finds innovative ways to put his point across.”
In her third year to earn Chambers recognition, Ms. Barger was described by one firm appellate client as doing “excellent work.”
Another client told Chambers researchers, “Jessica is super responsive and super smart. She is able to boil down complex issues into simple language for clients.”
A source made note of Ms. Guzman’s extensive experience. “Eva Guzman’s experience as a litigator, judge and former Justice of the Texas Supreme Court makes her effective when evaluating how to prosecute a case,” the client said.
Ms. Fowler has been recognized by Chambers every year since 2020. “Wanda knows the courts and writes beautifully,” said a firm client.
London-based Chambers and Partners publishes its guide every year following one of the industry’s most rigorous and in-depth review processes. It includes comprehensive research, peer and client interviews, and a review by Chambers analysts.
