Hankinson Levinger Partner Named One of North Texas’ Top Business Defense Attorneys

Attorney Jeffrey Levinger, name partner in the Dallas appellate boutique Hankinson Levinger LLP, has been named one of North Texas’ top business defense attorneys. Mr. Levinger is one of 15 attorneys profiled in “The Defenders,” a special section published in the May 14 edition of the Dallas Business Journal.

To compile “The Defenders” list, Dallas Business Journal editors solicited nominations from across Dallas/Fort Worth in search of attorneys whose reputations and track records put them among the area’s top defense attorneys for corporate clients.

Mr. Levinger provides clients with more than 25 years of appellate and trial law experience. The former head of the appellate practice group at Carrington Coleman Sloman and Blumenthal, L.L.P., Mr. Levinger currently serves as Chairman of the State Bar of Texas Committee on Pattern Jury Charges (Malpractice, Premises, and Products) and is the former Chair of the Dallas Bar Association Appellate Law Section. He has been recognized among Texas’ top lawyers each year since the Texas Super Lawyers list was first published in 2003, and he has also repeatedly been named to lists of the Top 100 attorneys in both the Dallas-Fort Worth area and throughout the state of Texas.

In his Q&A with the DBJ, Mr. Levinger said he decided to become a lawyer after he interned with the South Dakota Legislature and saw that the best legislators were all lawyers.

“Law struck me as a profession that would open doors and sharpen my analytical thinking, and I could not have been more correct,” he says. “Every year I try to write stronger briefs, to present more persuasive oral arguments, and to provide better professional advice than the year before. And I’m constantly striving to build practice areas that interest me and in which I can make a difference.”

Hankinson Levinger provides a comprehensive approach to the practice of appellate law. In addition to providing insightful post-trial analysis, briefing and argument, the firm collaborates with trial teams on pretrial and trial strategies that promote the client's position at trial and protect the client's position after trial. The firm represents national clients, regional companies, governmental bodies and individuals with Texas-related litigation and appellate matters, and offers mediation and arbitration services throughout the state.
