Partner Stephen Lyle Tatum
Named “Power Attorney” by Business Press

Fort Worth, Texas (Sept. 7, 2010) -- Cantey Hanger Partner Stephen Lyle Tatum has been selected one of 12 “Power Attorneys” in the Fort Worth Business Press’ annual recognition poll. The 12 will be honored at a luncheon October 7 and in a special publication of the newspaper October 11.
The recognition is described by the newspaper as 12 of the “most pre-eminent lawyers in greater Tarrant County, lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement and have achieved unparalleled success.”

“Steve Tatum is well respected by the Bar and the business community,” said Cantey Hanger Managing Partner Pollard Rogers. “His community service is beyond exemplary. He is the firm lawyer for Cantey Hanger, which tells you the high regard in which he is held by his partners, and an invaluable resource on issues pertaining to the law, local business and community activities. He has an uncanny ability to connect the dots and connect people. And he gets done what he says he will do.”

Ballots were mailed to attorneys in the greater Fort Worth area who have been in practice more than five years. They were asked to nominate the best lawyers they have observed in action. Attorneys could not vote for themselves.

The Business Press and an independent panel of judges based their selections on peer recognition; reputation and professional achievement, including honors and awards; verdicts and settlements; special licenses and certifications; position within the law firm; lectures and writings; education and employment and other outstanding community achievements.

“This recognition honors me and for that I am humbled, but it also honors the members of this firm and the firm itself,” Tatum said. “Cantey Hanger and its lawyers have been an important part of the history of this city and are an important part of its future.”

Cantey Hanger associate John Polzer wrote in Tatum’s nomination form: “Everyone here looks to him as a resource on a broad range of issues, Appellate Law being foremost. In addition to his knowledge on so many legal issues –he’s a member of the American Law Institute, a prestigious group of attorneys. Mr. Tatum has a welcoming personality that makes associates feel comfortable talking with him. He’s very approachable. If we have a tough issue or are looking for guidance legally, we feel comfortable approaching Mr. Tatum.”
