HOUSTON, TEXAS, August 20, 2026 

Crain Caton & James, a Houston law firm, announced today that three of its attorneys have been recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America, a distinction for attorneys who are earlier in their careers and have earned strong recognition from their peers.

Like the main Best Lawyers list, Ones to Watch selections are based on peer review within the same practice area and region, with no fee or self-nomination involved. The recognition identifies attorneys whose work is already drawing notice from the lawyers around them.

“Seeing Alexander W. Cohn, Greg DeVries, and Suzanne D. Perry recognized in the 2027 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America edition tells us the next generation at Crain Caton & James is already delivering at the highest level.”
