ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
Service, not size, matters"While there has been a lot of discussion of late about there being no place for a midsized firm," says Porter & Hedges Chairman Bill Porter, "don't kid yourself." He adds (in a letter posted on the firm's web site): "If we simply continue to offer 'positively outrageous service,' if we do things wholly out of proportion of what is asked and unexpected, there will always be a place for us in this or any other legal community."

Porter & Hedges accepts resumes from any well-qualified law student, though its hiring strategy is somewhat Texas-centric.
