Read Time: 1 min

McGlinchey Stafford is pleased to announce that Christopher John, Associate in the firm’s Dallas office, has been named to the Super Lawyers 2024 Texas Rising Stars List.

Christopher represents financial services clients in the mortgage lending, automobile finance, and insurance industries, as well as those offering other products and services. He primarily focuses on defending clients regarding alleged violations of Texas state and federal consumer protection statutes such as the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), Truth in Lending Act (TILA), Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA), and others.

In previous roles, Christopher worked for the U.S. Small Business Administration during the height of COVID-19 relief incentives. Licensed in Texas, he earned a J.D. at the University of Tennessee College of Law and a B.A. summa cum laude in Political Science from Abilene Christian University.

The 2024 Texas Rising Stars list recognizes the top 2.5% of lawyers in the state who are 40 years old or younger or have been in practice 10 years or fewer. Since 2004, more than 70 McGlinchey attorneys have received the distinction of being included in Super Lawyers and the publication’s Rising Stars lists nationwide. Since its founding in 1991, Super Lawyers has named outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. To be included in a state publication, lawyers are subject to nomination, a peer-review survey by practice area, and independent research on candidates. No more than the top 5% of attorneys in each state, as nominated by their peers, are then reviewed by an independent research team that focuses on professional accomplishments, peer recognition, and community involvement.
