McCathern is proud to announce and congratulate Ty Sheaks and Stephanie Almeter on being named to D Magazine’s distinguished lists of Best Lawyers in Dallas for 2019. Ty is listed as one of the “Best Lawyers in Dallas” in D Magazine’s May 2019 issue, an accomplishment he also achieved in 2018. Stephanie was listed in D Magazine’s January 2019 issue as one of the “Best Lawyers in Dallas under 40”, an accomplishment she too achieved in 2018.
Every year, D Magazine honors an exclusive list of exceptional lawyers as the “Best Lawyers in Dallas.” Attorneys are nominated for this honor by their peers, then are evaluated and eventually chosen by the editors and a panel of eminent Dallas lawyers.
“I am honored and truly humbled to have been selected as one of the Best Lawyers in Dallas by D Magazine for 2019, as voted on by my peers,” Ty Sheaks said. “This recognition is really a testament to all the support of our team at McCathern, our goal of improving people’s lives one day at a time, and my amazing wife!”
“I am honored to be recognized as one of D Magazine’s Best Lawyers Under 40,” Stephanie Almeter said. “I am continuously grateful for the support and vote of confidence from my peers and the McCathern team.”
