Firm a leader in mesothelioma, cosmetic talc, mass tort, catastrophic personal injury cases
DALLAS – The publishers of The Best Lawyers in America have named Simon Greenstone Panatier to their list of the Best Law Firms for 2025, awarding the firm a Tier 1 designation for personal injury litigation in Dallas.
“This really is a reflection of the leadership we have shown across all sorts of personal injury cases,” says Charles Soechting, head of the firm’s catastrophic injury practice. “This is an honor we take very seriously, just as we do the responsibility we have to stand up on behalf of those who have been harmed by the negligence of others.”
Among Mr. Soechting’s many courtroom wins is a $7.4 million jury verdict in 2023 on behalf of a construction worker permanently injured in an accident at the site of a mudslide along a California highway. TopVerdict.com ranked it among the year’s best in personal injury and motor vehicle categories.
The firm’s courtroom wins also include verdicts totaling hundreds of millions of dollars against various makers of cosmetic talc that was contaminated with asbestos and caused cancer in consumers.
In addition, the firm’s co-founder Jeffrey Simon has been a leader in fighting for Texas counties in opioid litigation and, as a lead negotiator in the Texas multidistrict litigation, helped secure a more than $2.8 billion settlement for the state of Texas and local governments.
“A special thank you goes to our clients for their confidence in us,” said firm co-founder David Greenstone. “We are truly honored by this recognition, which reflects not only our team’s hard work and dedication but also the strong, collaborative relationships we build with our clients.”
Client feedback plays a vital role in the Best Law Firms selection process, which also incorporates rigorous journalistic research and peer review.
Best Law Firms is described as “the most credible rankings of exceptional law firms from around the world.” Read about the firm’s ranking here.
