Bogdanowicz Family Law
Family Law
Owned by a woman and backed by a team of highly skilled female lawyers, Bogdanowicz Family Law remains a powerhouse in the local family law arena. “We fight for our clients—for their kids and their finances,” says owner Erin Bogdanowicz. “This is a complex field of law. Experience and tenacity matter because our clients are going through some of the worst times of their lives.” High-conflict litigation deserves high-powered advocates, which is why many of the firm’s clients come to them facing hotly contested issues. Bogdanowicz is a skilled negotiator who is trained in collaborative law, but the courtroom is where she and her team shine. Known for being fairly aggressive, she tackles the toughest, most complex cases head on. “We are a client-driven firm,” she says. “Their needs are our top priority.”

Elizabeth Cromwell
Energy Law
As a nationally recognized energy law firm, expanding its Texas footprint and opening a Dallas office was a logical next step for West Virginia-based Steptoe & Johnson PLLC. Elizabeth Cromwell, who represents upstream, midstream, and energy service companies in corporate and transactional matters, manages Steptoe & Johnson’s Dallas office which opened in 2021. When asked to take on the role as the office managing member, it was an easy decision for Cromwell because the firm is full of inspiring women leaders. Three out of the firm’s four departments are headed by women, and the immediate past CEO and the firm’s new COO are women. For Cromwell’s practice, Steptoe & Johnson is the perfect combination of platform and culture, providing a deep bench and energy industry focus while maintaining its core values, commitment to excellent client service, and family-first attitude.
