Michael Fechner, Mackenzie Howard honored among law’s ‘future leaders’

DALLAS – Attorneys Michael Fechner and Mackenzie Howard of the trial law firm Lyons & Simmons have been recognized among the Lawdragon 500 X – The Next Generation for 2024.

Next Generation recognizes “future leaders of the law” who are poised to make a significant impact in their chosen field of expertise, according to the Lawdragon research team. Fechner and Howard were selected based on their work in Plaintiff Personal Injury cases, with Fechner receiving additional recognition for Business Litigation.

This is the second consecutive selection to the Next Generation list for Fechner, who has obtained favorable judgments, arbitration awards and settlements for plaintiffs in complex catastrophic personal injury cases and complex business disputes throughout Texas and the nation.

A member of the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers, Texas Trial Lawyers Association, Dallas Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice, his work has also been recognized by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch. He also serves as an integral part of BridgeBuilders, a non-profit organization serving South Dallas residents.
