Appellate and trial attorney P. Wes Black has been promoted to
partner with the nationally recognized Dallas trial firm Lyons
& Simmons, LLP.
“I’ve known Wes for over 25 years and he’s one of the sharpest
legal minds I know,” said firm co-founder Michael Lyons. “When we
added Wes to the firm a year ago, it strengthened what I consider
to be one of the top trial practices anywhere in the country.”
Black joined the firm as Of Counsel in 2023.
“Having Wes has been an incredibly powerful tool for the
development of our cases before, during, and after the verdict,"
said firm co-founder Christopher Simmons. “Naming Wes partner is an
honor for the firm and a well-deserved recognition for Wes.”
Board Certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of
Legal Specialization, Black’s practice is focused primarily on
complex, catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases. He
has briefed and argued cases before state and federal appellate
courts, including numerous Texas courts of appeals, the Texas
Supreme Court, and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He has
tried cases in both state and federal courts.
“I have never worked with a more talented group or one as
devoted to their clients’ cause as the team at Lyons &
Simmons,” said Black. “The resolve to match their skill and
intensity has pushed me to approach cases in new ways, and has made
me a better advocate for our clients.”
A member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association and the Dallas
Trial Lawyers Association, Black has been recognized among D
Magazine’s Best Lawyers in Dallas each year since 2020. He earned
his law degree from Baylor University School of Law, where he
served as editor of the Baylor Law Review and his undergraduate
degree from The University of Texas at Austin. Prior to entering
private practice, he served as briefing attorney for Chief Justice
Rex Davis of the Texas Tenth Judicial District Court of
Appeals.
