Mark Lanier, founder of The Lanier Law Firm and one of the most respected and sought-after litigators in the nation, has achieved new milestones in the 2026 Chambers USA guide to the legal profession.
This is the 20th consecutive year that Mr. Lanier is nationally ranked in the practice area of Product Liability: Plaintiffs and he is the only attorney in the nation honored as a “Star Individual” in that category, a designation given only to lawyers with exceptional recommendations from clients and other attorneys in their field. In this same category, The Lanier Law Firm is one of only 11 firms in the nation to be recognized.
In addition, Mr. Lanier is nationally ranked for the 11th consecutive year in the practice area of Litigation: Trial Lawyers and is one of only 10 attorneys named as a “Star Individual.”
As a further distinction, he is the only attorney in the nation to reach “Star Individual” status in both of those highly competitive and high-profile rankings.
In his home state of Texas, Mr. Lanier is listed in Band 1 Litigation: Trial Lawyers and Band 1 Litigation: General Commercial.
One of the profession’s most respected and comprehensive guides, the publication’s team of more than 200 researchers conducts in-depth assessments and thousands of interviews each year, emphasizing client feedback in making its selections.
In one of those interviews conducted by Chambers, a fellow attorney said of Mr. Lanier “Mark is smart, innovative and an amazing communicator. He is the gold-standard plaintiff lawyer.“
Another interviewee noted “Mark Lanier is an exceptional trial lawyer and an exceptional human.”
