Standing Up For Landowners. Standing Up To Government.

Six McFarland Partners Named to 2025 Texas Super Lawyers List

by | Sep 18, 2025 | Firm News |

All six of McFarland PLLC’s partners—Billy Coe Dyer, Marie Harlan, Laura Manion, Charles McFarland, Mark Merrell, and Dan Tobin—have been selected for inclusion in the 2025 Texas Super Lawyers list in the firm’s sole area of practice, Eminent Domain. Dyer and McFarland have been included 14 years running. While Manion, Merrell, and Tobin have been listed before, this is Harlan’s first appearance in Super Lawyers. McFarland is also listed in the Top 100 of Houston Super Lawyers for the sixth straight year.

“I’m not saying I expected a clean sweep, but it’s a really good group of lawyers. They’re smart, and they work hard. When you combine this with the insight gained from seeing the impacts of hundreds of public projects, the result is a powerful tool for achieving the best possible outcomes for our landowner clients,” said McFarland. “Our exclusive focus on condemnation– and only condemnation–gives our lawyers the opportunity to stand out. I’m not surprised that they have.”
