DALLAS (May 2025) – FBFK Law is proud to announce that attorneys John M. Cone, Kelly J. Kubasta, and Daniel G. Baucum have been named to D Magazine’s 2025 Best Lawyers in Dallas list. This prestigious annual recognition highlights attorneys who demonstrate exceptional skill, peer respect, and meaningful contributions to their profession and community.
The 2025 honorees represent excellence across three of FBFK’s key practice areas:
With more than 30 years of experience in trademark, copyright, and patent enforcement, Cone is also recognized for his decades-long commitment to legal education as an adjunct professor at SMU Dedman School of Law.
Kubasta leads a nationally respected IP practice focused on developing legal strategies that create real business value. A registered patent attorney, he has earned repeat recognition in both Best Lawyers in Dallas and Best Lawyers in America.
A trusted authority in federal tax policy and planning, Baucum advises on complex business transactions and teaches at both SMU and Baylor Law. His public service includes senior counsel roles at the IRS.
“These attorneys represent what makes FBFK different,” said Kyle Ferguson, CEO and Founding Partner. “They’re not just great at law—they’re mentors, problem-solvers, and trusted partners to clients shaping the future of business in Texas and beyond.”
