Crain Caton & James, P.C. is proud to announce that the firm has been named First Place in Family Law in the Houston Chronicle’s 2026 Best of the Best program, one of the region’s most respected community-voted recognitions.

The honor was celebrated on July 16 at the program’s awards gala, where the firm was recognized alongside the best businesses and professionals across the greater Houston area.

In addition to its first-place finish in Family Law, Crain Caton & James earned Top 3 Finalist recognition in three additional categories: Trusts & Estates, Corporate Law, and Real Estate Law. These results reflect the depth, breadth, and consistent excellence of the firm’s practice groups.

Representing Crain Caton & James at the gala were Sarah Sokol Clark, Courtney Hoff, James E. (Jim) Hudson III, Marty Olson, Kimberly Stuart, and Suzanne Perry, who accepted the recognition on behalf of the entire firm.

“This recognition belongs to our clients, our attorneys, and our staff,” said Hudson, a member of the firm’s Executive Committee. “Being named the best in Family Law, and earning finalist recognition across three more practice areas, reflects the trust our clients place in us and the dedication our team brings to their work every single day. We are grateful, we are honored, and we are proud to serve this community.”

To everyone who voted and to the clients who continue to place their confidence in the firm: thank you. And to the attorneys and staff whose outstanding and consistent contributions make Crain Caton & James what it is, thank you for making this recognition possible.
