REAL MEASURES OF SUCCESS

There are many ways to measure the success of KTG: its extraordinary record of success in the courtroom, the number of lawyers who entrust the firm’s professionals with their own personal legal matters, the number of former adversaries who later retain the firm, the size and complexity of the matters it handles and the depth of its client base.

Peer recognition is another important measure. Raymond Thomas, Veronica Gonzales and Michael McGurk have been named to the Texas Super Lawyers® list, and Rebecca Vela and Deborah Cordova have been recognized in Texas Rising Stars.

Thomas, a board-certified civil trial specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and McGurk, both known for their preparation, use of courtroom technology and forceful advocacy, have successfully tried major cases throughout Texas, some of which have received coverage by state and national media.

Completing her second term as state representative, District 41, Gonzales has already made an impact, earning accolades such as “Freshman of the Year” from Mexican American Legislative Caucus and “Legislator to Watch” and “Emerging Leader” from the media. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, Gonzales fights for the needs of our judiciary.

Vela and Cordova are known for their effective, creative approaches and meticulous work ethic. Vela has successfully tried a wide variety of cases, and Cordova is one of the firm’s highly sought after transactional lawyers.

REAL LAWYERS MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE

Public service is an important tradition at KTG, and its lawyers are leaders of the profession and of their communities. “People always comment on our firm culture,” says Thomas. “We are a close knit team which works very well with others. We strive to achieve a balance between family, work and public service. It makes what we do so much more enjoyable.”
