Firm co-founder Mike McKool was quoted as saying: “There are many, many law firms eligible for this honor, which is why we’re so pleased McKool Smith is included again this year.

In addition, the firm has won eight of the country’s Top 100 Verdicts during the past two years – more than any other law firm in the nation.
