Six A&R Attorneys Selected Among 2025 Texas Super Lawyers and Rising Stars

Six Adams & Reese attorneys from the firm’s Houston office have been selected by their peers among the 2025 Texas Super Lawyers and Rising Stars. A Thomson Reuters publication, Texas Super Lawyers magazine rates outstanding lawyers from more than 75 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. 

Attorneys designated as “Rising Stars” are up-and-coming attorneys who are 40 years of age or younger and have practiced law for 10 years or less. No more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team to receive this honor.

This year’s Adams & Reese honorees include:

• Lee Butler – Business Litigation
• Staton Childers – Civil Litigation: Defense
• Adam Massey – Civil Litigation: Defense
• David Toney – Construction Litigation
• Bradley Waters – Civil Litigation: Defense
• Collin Weyand (Rising Stars) – Insurance Coverage

In addition, Texas Super Lawyers published a feature on Adams & Reese Partner Staton Childers – “Readin’, Writin’, and Rodeo”. The article discusses Childers’ passions outside of his practice, which includes education, the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, and his love for barbecue.
