Zehl & Associates is pleased to announce that founding partner Ryan Zehl and trial lawyer Eric Allen have been selected to the 2027 Lawdragon 500 Leading Litigators in America guide, which recognizes accomplished trial lawyers from across the country.
The 2027 guide includes lawyers who excel in advocacy before juries, judges and other decision-makers on behalf of their clients. Lawdragon recognized Mr. Zehl for his work in product liability and injury litigation on behalf of plaintiffs and Mr. Allen for his work representing plaintiffs in injury, oilfield and trucking litigation.
“This honor belongs to the entire team at Zehl & Associates. Our record-breaking results come from every person at this firm sharing the same unwavering commitment to excellence — but the real measure of what we do is written in the lives our clients are able to rebuild,” said Mr. Zehl. “Eric exemplifies that commitment.”
Mr. Zehl has been in practice for nearly two decades and has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s leading personal injury trial lawyers. His record includes significant verdicts and settlements on behalf of individuals and families in catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, product liability, trucking, oilfield and maritime cases.
In addition to his Lawdragon recognition, Mr. Zehl has been honored by several of the legal industry’s leading guides and organizations, including The Best Lawyers in America and Texas Super Lawyers. He also has been recognized among the Top 100 personal injury lawyers in Texas by The National Trial Lawyers and has earned lifetime membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum® and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum®, reserved for less than 1% of the top trial lawyers in the country.
Mr. Allen represents individuals and families in high-stakes personal injury and wrongful death litigation, including cases involving commercial trucking crashes, oilfield and workplace accidents, defective products and other catastrophic incidents. He has played a key role in securing significant recoveries for Zehl & Associates clients and has earned recognition for his work on behalf of injured plaintiffs.
“We feel a great responsibility in helping our clients — men and women who have lost their health, their livelihood, sometimes the person they love most,” said Mr. Allen. “To be honored for that work is humbling.”
Lawdragon’s 2027 Leading Litigators guide honors lawyers across a broad range of litigation disciplines, including plaintiff and defense litigation, mass torts, product liability, commercial disputes, appellate work, intellectual property, energy and white-collar matters. Lawdragon says this year’s honorees were selected from among a record number of submissions through staff research and vetting with leading trial lawyers nationwide.
