“Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 for the fourth time reflects something we’re especially
proud of — sustained growth built the right way,” said Benson Varghese, founder and
managing partner of Varghese Summersett. “Growth is never the goal by itself. It’s the
result of building a team of exceptional people, embracing innovation, and staying
focused on serving our clients. Every year brings new challenges, and we’re proud to
continue evolving while remaining true to the values that have guided us from the very
beginning.”
Founded in 2014 as a criminal defense practice operating out of a one-room office,
Varghese Summersett has since grown into one of Texas’ premier law firms, with
thriving criminal defense, family law, and personal injury divisions serving clients
throughout the state. The firm now has offices in Fort Worth, Dallas, Southlake, and
Houston, along with a team of more than 70 attorneys and legal professionals.
In addition to leading Varghese Summersett, Varghese is the founder of Lawft, a legal
technology platform designed to help modern law firms operate more efficiently. He is
also the author of Tapped In: Lessons for Law Firm Growth, a guide for attorneys seeking to
build, grow, and scale successful law practices.
This is the firm’s fourth appearance on the Inc. 5000, following previous recognitions in
2025, 2024, and 2018.
“Our continued growth reflects the value we provide to our clients and our commitment
to raising the standard for what they should expect from their law firm,” said Anna
Summersett, co-owner and named partner. “We are proud of what our team has
accomplished, and we remain focused on delivering exceptional service and results for
the people who trust us to help them through some of life’s most difficult moments.”
