Crain Caton & James proudly congratulates Sarah Sokol Clark, Alexander W. (Alex) Cohn, Kimberly Dang, Greg S. DeVries, David A. Polsinelli, and Jennifer L. Varadi on their recognition in the 2025 edition of Internet Brands’ Super Lawyers® Magazine as Texas Rising Stars.

This distinction is reserved for no more than 2.5% of lawyers in Texas and is awarded to attorneys who are either 40 years old or younger or who have been practicing law for 10 years or less. Each of these honorees has demonstrated exceptional skill, dedication, and professionalism in their respective fields:

• Sarah Sokol Clark focuses on client counseling and designing comprehensive estate plans, including wills, generation-skipping trusts, family limited partnerships, charitable entities, and marital agreements. She also guides clients through probate, trust administration, and guardianship matters.
• Alexander W. (Alex) Cohn, senior associate, works across Commercial Litigation, Real Estate, Bankruptcy, Banking & Financial Services, and Employment practice groups. He has extensive experience managing complex disputes for both individuals and businesses.
• Kimberly Dang represents a wide range of financial institutions in state and federal courts, handling complex cases involving bank and wire fraud, class actions, and Federal Credit Reporting Act claims, as well as disputes over loans, transactions, and financial products.
• Greg S. DeVries is a seasoned litigator representing national banks, mortgage lenders and servicers, auto finance companies, and other financial service providers in state and federal courts.
• Dave Polsinelli, recognized for the sixth consecutive year, focuses on commercial litigation at both trial and appellate levels, handling disputes involving contracts, real estate, oil & gas, construction, and trade secrets. While known for courtroom victories, Dave also helps clients find strategic resolutions outside of litigation.
• Jennifer L. Varadi practices family law, representing high net worth individuals in matters involving custody, child support, and complex property issues. Recently board certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Jennifer is skilled in both negotiation and litigation.

James (Jim) E. Hudson III, Chairman and President of the Firm, states that “Excellence doesn’t happen by accident—it’s developed through preparation, grit, and collaborative efforts toward client goals. These six attorneys exemplify that drive, and their Rising Stars recognition reflects the future they are helping us build at Crain Caton & James.”

We are proud of these attorneys and their dedication to providing outstanding legal service across Texas.
