Houston Office Head and Partner Ryan Freel is recognized with the Houston Young Lawyers Association's 2022-2023 "Outstanding Mentor" award.

The award honors one Texas attorney who consistently demonstrates a commitment to mentoring young lawyers in their legal community.

Throughout the course of his career, Ryan has mentored countless young lawyers, helping them achieve their goals and providing advice for success both within and outside of the law firm setting.

Being a mentor isn't only about helping the next generation learn about their chosen fields - it is much more important to help them aim high, so that they may achieve not only their dream jobs, but their dream lives.
