SBSB Eastham Founder John Schouest Named to 2025 Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers in America Guide

Schouest, Bamdas, Soshea, BenMaier & Eastham PLLC (SBSB Eastham) is pleased to announce that firm founder John Schouest has been named to the 2025 Lawdragon 500 Leading Lawyers list, a guide to the most exceptional lawyers in the country.

“We are fiercely proud of this guide, the lawyers on it, the process that creates it and what it means: that being a great lawyer, a powerful lawyer is not just a plaque on the wall. It is an act of courage to never give up on behalf of a client, a firm, and this notion of justice that can seem as divergent as unifying,” said Lawdragon publisher Katrina Dewey.

Mr. Schouest has over 35 years of experience representing and defending clients in a variety of areas, including admiralty and maritime law and Defense Base Act practice areas. His experience and expertise have also made him the preferred legal counsel for many of the world’s largest insurance companies dealing with high stakes and legally complex cases.

“I am very honored to be a part of this list,” said Mr. Schouest. “I love what I do, and I appreciate that our clients turn to our firm when they need help. To be recognized for that is really something special.”

This Lawdragon recognition is Mr. Schouest’s most recent accolade. He was also named a 2025 “Lawyer of the Year” by The Best Lawyers in America, and was recognized by Texas Super Lawyers.

Lawdragon Leading Lawyers honorees are selected through editorial research by Lawdragon staff, submissions from law firms and nominations.
