When companies need seasoned trial lawyers to handle complex business disputes, AZA is on the short list of go-to firms in Texas. AZA is one of the pre-eminent firms in Texas in commercial litigation. AZA has been included in the prestigious Bar Registry of Preeminent Lawyers (a distinction voted upon by other members of the bar) and its lawyers are members of the Million Dollar Advocates forum, an organization whose membership is limited to lawyers who have achieved verdicts of a million dollars or more. AZA has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for its business clients in a variety of commercial disputes in the energy, telecommunications, travel, petrochemical, and many other industries.

AZA has obtained dozens of jury verdicts in favor of companies involved in contractual and business tort litigation. Our clients are located throughout the country and include large charitable foundations, multinational corporations, prominent athletes and actors and closely held corporations.

AZA's lawyers have all graduated from the top law schools in the country such as Harvard, Chicago, Yale, Stanford, Michigan, Texas, and others. While our lawyers are all capable of cutting edge legal reasoning, it is our track record in the courtroom that sets us apart. Our lawyers regularly speak to members of the bar throughout the state at continuing legal education seminars on trial techniques in complex business cases.

Many of AZA's current business clients are former adversaries. Having been on the opposite side of AZA in high stakes litigation, those companies retained AZA to represent them after the conclusion of those trials.

Because AZA puts a premium on winning, AZA has state of the art technology to enable the firm to have every advantage during litigation. AZA is well recognized as a business litigation boutique firm throughout Texas.

We have been recognized by members of the bar as leading trial lawyers in other ways as well. For example, all AZA partners have been recognized as Texas Super Lawyers by Texas Monthly magazine (limited to the top 5% of practicing lawyers in the state). Demetrios Anaipakos has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Business Litigation Lawyers in Houston by Texas Monthly magazine, Joseph Ahmad has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in the state by Texas Monthly magazine, and John Zavitsanos has been recognized as one of the "Best Lawyers in America" for the second consecutive year (limited to the top 1% of practicing lawyers as voted upon by members of the bar). The Firm has (again) been identified as one of the top business litigation firms in Houston by H-Texas magazine.
