Selections reflect firm’s growing national presence and cross-market litigation strength

Hilgers PLLC attorneys across multiple offices have earned selection to the 2026 Super Lawyers lists, a legal guide recognizing the top 5% of attorneys in each state.

Dallas managing partner Grant Schmidt and partner Brad Monk are repeat selections to the list, and partner Bennett Rawicki is a first-time honoree. All three are honored for excellence in business litigation in Texas. In Pennsylvania, senior counsel Scott Scheinberg is a repeat Rising Stars honoree.

“This recognition reflects the kind of firm we are building,” said CEO Heather Hilgers. “We are bringing together lawyers who can step into complex litigation and investigations anywhere in the country and deliver results at the highest level.”

Mr. Schmidt, who debuted on the list last year, had been recognized by Texas Super Lawyers as a Rising Star each year since 2018. That category honors attorneys under age 40 or in their first decade of practice. He handles complex commercial litigation, intellectual property litigation and white-collar criminal defense cases.

Mr. Monk, who has represented Forbes 500 corporations among his clients, was selected as a Texas Super Lawyer for the third year after seven years on the Rising Stars list. He handles cases involving real estate, oil and gas, banking and financial services, construction and healthcare issues and represents shareholders in “business divorce” cases.

Mr. Rawicki was a Rising Stars honoree for three years before his debut on the Texas Super Lawyers list this year. He handles antitrust, breach of contract, consumer protection, constitutional claims, products liability and trade secrets disputes and advises clients on First Amendment, arbitration agreements and cybersecurity matters.

Mr. Scheinberg, based in the firm’s Pittsburgh office, represents high-profile clients in multimillion-dollar disputes, class actions and government investigations. His experience includes defending matters brought by the Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Environmental Protection Agency, as well as guiding clients through complex internal investigations and large-scale discovery.

Super Lawyers uses nominations, peer and client vetting and professional accomplishments to select honorees.
