Texas Super Lawyers Names Julia Kurtz a “Rising Star”

Associate Julia Kurtz has been named a “Rising Star” by the 2026 Texas Super Lawyers. Super Lawyers selects attorneys based on a multiphase selection process including peer nominations and evaluation. To be considered for “Rising Stars,” attorneys must be 40 or younger or have been in practice for 10 years or fewer.

Kurtz is a product liability litigator with a focus in health law.

Kurtz earned her J.D. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law, where she worked at the Milton A. Kramer Health Law Clinic, helping to establish a medical-legal partnership with the Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, a pediatric acute care center affiliated with Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
