Honoring Excellence: Houston’s Top Criminal Defense Attorneys Recognized at Exclusive Dinner
Last night, Houston’s legal community gathered for a special evening of recognition and celebration at Morton’s Steakhouse. The event, Celebrating Houston’s Top Criminal Defense Attorneys, brought together some of the city’s most accomplished legal minds to honor their dedication, expertise, and impact in the field of criminal defense.
The private dinner was an opportunity to acknowledge the hard work of attorneys who have made a meaningful difference in their clients’ lives, ensuring justice is served with skill and integrity. These honorees—some of Houston’s most distinguished criminal defense attorneys—have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to protecting the rights of their clients and achieving outstanding legal outcomes.
The evening began with opening remarks from Joel Geddis, Founder & CEO of ReferU.AI, who recognized the attorneys for their dedication to client success and the pivotal role they play in ensuring justice is served. He followed with a presentation on the evolving landscape of legal technology, emphasizing how data-driven insights are making it easier for clients to find the right legal representation.
Joel’s remarks set the stage for special guest speakers Armen "Hammer" Merjanian, Jim Butler and JL Carpenter, all of whom shared personal insights into their careers and the philosophy that drives their work. Jennifer shared a very touching, personal story on why she began her career as a DWI defense attorney & why her platform focuses so much on “defending the misunderstood”. Armen humbly took the opportunity to recognize the lawyers who mentored him, expressing his deep gratitude. "I've stood on the shoulders of giants," he remarked, underscoring his respect for those who paved the way in the legal profession.
“I am not the best attorney in Houston—but I am the best attorney for the client in front of me.” - Armen “Hammer” Merjanian, Criminal Defense Attorney
Jim Butler shared how empathy shapes the way he approaches every case, ensuring each client receives the attention they deserve. "Every client has my personal cell phone number and can call upon me night and day. I'll always answer because I know they're in the fight of their lives."
“The most important person in my life is my client.” - Jim Butler, Criminal Defense Attorney
As the night progressed, the event took on an organic and dynamic energy. What began as a formal dinner evolved into impromptu presentations, Q&A sessions, and even friendly debates featuring esteemed attorneys David Smith, Adam Jacob, and Brianne Boiarsky. Their discussions echoed a common theme—camaraderie, mutual respect, and deep reverence for the trust clients place in them to defend their rights.
The evening concluded with a reflection on the importance of legal excellence and the profound impact defense attorneys have on the justice system. As the legal field continues to evolve, one thing remains clear—Houston’s top criminal defense attorneys are setting the standard for advocacy, integrity, and unwavering dedication to their clients.
"Your work doesn’t just change lives—it shapes the public’s trust in our justice system. And recognition like this isn’t just about celebrating individual success; it’s about making sure the right people—the best advocates—are seen, known, and accessible to those who need them most." - Joel Geddis, Founder & CEO, ReferU.AI
Congratulations to the attorneys honored at this year’s event! Their work is a testament to the power of dedicated legal representation and the difference it makes in the lives of those facing the justice system.
