Tom Spooner and Tyler Staggs Named to 2026 Super Lawyers List
Spooner Staggs Trial Lawyers is proud to announce that Tom Spooner and Tyler Staggs have both been selected to the 2026 Super Lawyers® list, recognizing their continued excellence in high-stakes civil litigation.
What Super Lawyers Means
Super Lawyers is a nationally recognized attorney rating service that identifies outstanding lawyers across more than 70 practice areas.
Selection is based on a patented, multi-phase process that includes:
- Peer nominations from other lawyers
- Independent research evaluating professional achievement
- Peer evaluations by practice area
The result is a highly selective list. No more than 5% of attorneys in each state are named Super Lawyers in any given year. In short, it reflects both reputation and results.
Recognition Backed by Real-World Results
For Spooner Staggs, this recognition reflects more than credentials. It reflects a deliberate approach to litigation.
Both Tom and Tyler built their careers defending insurance companies and corporate defendants. Today, they use that insider knowledge to represent individuals and families in catastrophic injury, insurance bad faith, and complex liability cases.
They understand how cases are defended – because they used to defend them. Now they use that knowledge to hold those same systems accountable.
National Recognition from Lawdragon
Independent recognition reinforces what clients and co-counsel already know. Lawdragon noted that Tom is “no stranger to huge settlements and high-octane cases.” And Of Counsel magazine called Tyler “smart, strategic, well-spoken, quick on his feet, and fiercely competitive.”
That combination – strategic insight and trial readiness – is what drives outcomes in the most difficult cases.
A Continued Commitment
Awards matter. But only if they reflect the work. At Spooner Staggs, the focus remains the same: take on serious cases, prepare them for trial, and pursue results that force change – whether that means holding insurance companies accountable for bad faith or ensuring that corporations cannot avoid responsibility through technicalities.
Tom and Tyler’s recognition as Super Lawyers is a milestone.
But it’s not the finish line.
It’s confirmation that the work – and the approach – is making an impact.
