Hartzog Conger Cason is thrilled to announce the firm’s recognition for excellence in the 2025 edition of the Chambers USA Guide. Only 0.5% of U.S. law firms achieve a prestigious Chambers ranking. This year’s recognition reaffirms the team’s standing among the most esteemed legal practitioners.
The Chambers methodology is unparalleled in its rigor. With over 200 specialist researchers and more than three decades of research history, Chambers is distinguished by assessing client service, bench strength, and sophistication of work.
In 2025, Hartzog Conger Cason’s Litigation group advanced to a Band 1 Chambers ranking, and its tax Group maintained its Band 1 ranking. Elite Band 1 practices are considered the highest-ranked law firms in a practice area. This esteemed recognition reflects the firm’s strong infrastructure, outstanding performance in individual lawyer rankings, and a commitment to delivering unparalleled legal work across all levels of the firm. Hartzog Conger Cason is one of only three Oklahoma firms to achieve the prestigious Band 1 ranking in Litigation.
The Hartzog team also achieved firm-level recognition in three additional practice areas: Corporate/Commercial, Real Estate, and Tax. These accolades reinforce the firm’s enduring strength across high-stakes legal disciplines, and their clients consistently express immense appreciation, with a client recently remarking, “They have intelligence and knowledge beyond any expectation.”
Individual Hartzog attorneys were also recognized for excellence in their respective fields:
- Charles E. Geister III was named to the Chambers list in Litigation: Mediators. This rare distinction underscores his expertise as a trusted neutral in high-value disputes.
- David A. Elder achieved his coveted first Chambers recognition for outstanding work in Litigation: General Commercial, reflecting his leadership in complex business litigation. One client summed up his appreciation this way:: “David is smart, tenacious and willing to take on any challenge.”
- T. Scott Spradling was honored in Real Estate, recognizing his deep expertise in transactional and finance-related matters.
- The firm’s highly regarded Tax practice was recognized through the individual rankings of Len Cason, Steven C. Davis, and J. Christian Guzzy. Davis achieved an impressive Band 1 ranking, while Cason and Guzzy maintained their distinguished Band 2 recognition. Each attorney brings deep technical proficiency to tax credit finance, business incentives, corporate structuring, tax planning, nonprofit law, and trusts and estates.
With a reputation built on discretion, technical precision, and unrelenting focus on results, Hartzog Conger Cason is the firm of choice for clients navigating high-value transactions, bet-the-company litigation, complex tax structures, and real estate ventures.
