Continuing its track record of hiring former judges, Texas appellate boutique Alexander Dubose & Jefferson has opened an office in San Antonio led by former Texas Supreme Court Justice Paul Green, who joined as a partner on Oct. 1.

The new office gives the firm reach into the San Antonio market as well as the Rio Grande Valley, said Marcy Hogan Greer, managing partner of the 18-lawyer firm. The firm, with offices in Houston, Dallas and Austin, has long considered adding San Antonio to the lineup, she said.
