Burns Charest associate Hannah Crowe has been selected among 20 young attorneys from across the nation – and one of only two from Texas – recognized as a “Rising Star of the Plaintiffs Bar” as part of Law.com’s Elite Trial Lawyers Awards. According to the publication, the honorees represent “up-and-comers already demonstrating their litigation prowess, service to the community, and impact on their firm.”

Hannah has tried cases in both federal and state courts and devotes a substantial portion of her practice to seeking justice for people harmed during air travel. Last year she was a key member of the trial team that secured a $9.6 million jury verdict in California on behalf of a client who was catastrophically injured while traveling on American Airlines. That verdict was covered by CBS, ABC, The New York Post, and People, among other outlets. She is currently representing clients in separate cases in Texas and Virginia in which a family member died on board commercial flights.

The Elite Trial Lawyers awards ceremony will be held on July 23 in New York City. See the complete list of winners and finalists in select categories.
