By Brooks Igo – (July 7) – The Dallas Bar Assocation named Tom Melsheimer of Fish & Richardson its 2014 Trial Lawyer of the Year, the firm recently announced. The managing principal of Fish’s Dallas office is the youngest attorney to win the award since the DBA was founded in 1873.
The University of Texas School of Law graduate will be recognized at the DBA Trial Lawyer of the Year dinner during the annual Dallas Bench/Bar Conference on Oct. 23 at the Horseshoe Bay Marriott in the Texas Hill Country.
“It is a humbling honor to be recognized alongside so many of my fellow Dallas Bar members whose work I’ve admired for years,” Melsheimer said in a statement. “The success I’ve had is the result of having the good judgment to pick talented partners and colleagues.”
Melsheimer was lead counsel for Mark Cuban in the Dallas billionaire’s insider trading trial against the SEC. Cuban was cleared of all charges by a federal jury in October.
