BEAUMONT, Texas, Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Provost Umphrey Law Firm, L.L.P. has been selected as a 2014 U.S. News and World Report – Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms." The firm ranked highest in Southeast Texas for personal injury litigation-plaintiffs, product liability litigation-plaintiffs and commercial litigation.

Eligibility for "Best Law Firms" is based on the firm's inclusion of attorneys who have received equally high peer reviews to be among the "Best Lawyers in America."  Provost Umphrey has more lawyers included in Best Lawyers, for excellence in the fields of Plaintiff Personal Injury and Product Liability, than other firms in Southeast Texas.

Brian Blevins and Chip Ferguson were 2013 "Best Lawyers in America" for Product Liability Litigation-Plaintiffs. Chip Ferguson, Joe Fisher, II, James Payne and Founding Partner Walter Umphrey were selected as Best Lawyers in Personal Injury Litigation-Plaintiffs. Chip Ferguson also was chosen in the field of Commercial Litigation.   

Blevins, Ferguson and Payne also received the honoree "2014 Lawyer of the Year" in their respective fields.

Provost Umphrey and its Best Lawyers will be featured in the 2014 "Best Law Firms" stand-alone publication and online at bestlawfirms.usnews.com.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 39,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.1 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.

For more than forty years, Provost Umphrey's mission has remained to seek justice for those suffering from a personal injury, wrongful death or other legal wrong across Texas and nationwide through their lawyers in Beaumont and Houston, Little Rock, Arkansas and Nashville, Tennessee.
