Five KRCL Attorneys Selected to 2021 Texas Rising Stars.

Super Lawyers has awarded five KRCL attorneys with its top recognition for young attorneys this year. From the Houston office, Demetri Economou has been named to the 2021 Texas Rising Stars list. In the KRCL Dallas office, the honorees include Michael Attaway, Jaime DeWees, John Kane and Scott Riddle.
