Firm earns a record five honors, including its first national ranking

Zehl & Associates, a leading Houston personal injury law firm, has been recognized among the nation’s top law firms in the 2026 edition of Best Law Firms published by The Best Lawyers in America.

The firm earned five honors this year, including a first-time national ranking in admiralty and maritime law. Zehl & Associates also received recognition in the Houston area for excellence in product liability, personal injury, maritime, and insurance litigation.

“This is a tremendous milestone for our team,” said founding partner Ryan Zehl. “Our attorneys fight every day for clients who are up against some of the largest companies and insurers in the world. These rankings reflect the results we’ve achieved and the trust our clients continue to place in us.”

Known for record-setting verdicts and settlements, Zehl & Associates has recovered billions of dollars for victims of trucking and workplace accidents, refinery explosions, and offshore platform incidents. The firm continues to build a national reputation for taking on complex, high-stakes cases and achieving life-changing results for clients.

Each year, Best Law Firms rankings recognize firms demonstrating exceptional client service and courtroom success. The process includes extensive client feedback, peer evaluations, and independent editorial research.

To qualify, a firm must have at least one attorney recognized in The Best Lawyers in America for the same practice area and region. This year, eight Zehl & Associates trial lawyers, including Mr. Zehl, earned honors in the 2026 Best Lawyers guide — a mix of returning and first-time honorees.
