Anna Greenberg, JD ’14, Named 2026 Young Baylor Lawyer of the Year
Baylor Law School has named Anna Greenberg the 2026 Young Baylor Lawyer of the Year, celebrating an early career distinguished by professional excellence, exceptional advocacy, and the integrity and leadership that exemplify the values of Baylor Law School.
The Young Baylor Lawyer of the Year Award honors an outstanding alumnus or alumna under the age of 45 who has brought distinction to Baylor Law School and the legal profession. Honorees are selected based on their sustained and meaningful engagement with Baylor Law School, significant contributions to the legal field, and a demonstrated commitment to integrity, legal excellence, Christian values, and civic and social responsibility.
Since earning her JD from Baylor Law School in 2014, Anna has built a respected practice representing plaintiffs in complex personal injury, mass tort litigation, sexual assault, invasive recording, and corporate negligence cases. Her work reflects both the rigor of her Baylor Law School education and an unwavering commitment to advocating for individuals seeking justice during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
"Anna's career reflects the very qualities Baylor Law School strives to instill in every graduate," said Dean Jeremy Counseller. "She has achieved remarkable professional success while never losing sight of the people she serves or the responsibility lawyers have to pursue justice with integrity and compassion. Her continued investment in Baylor Law School and our students makes her an outstanding Baylor Law alumna and an exceptionally deserving recipient of this honor."
Her cases have included a landmark $44.6 million jury verdict against Hilton Hotel Management on behalf of a sexual assault survivor; what is believed to be the largest personal injury verdict in the history of the 457th District Court in Montgomery County on behalf of a child who was sexually assaulted at a sleepover; litigation involving allegations of child sexual assault tied to Houston’s NRG Stadium; claims against Massage Envy and Dollar Tree alleging nationwide systemic safety failures; and litigation involving hidden cameras at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Through these and other matters, Anna has established herself as a fearless advocate whose work has advanced accountability while giving a voice to those who have experienced profound harm.
Anna’s career reflects the kind of lawyer Baylor Law School strives to develop, one who combines exceptional advocacy with sound judgment, integrity, and compassion. Mentors and colleagues recall how she moved directly from Practice Court into the courtroom, where she quickly became known as a formidable advocate and accomplished trial lawyer. That strength is matched by the compassion and steadiness she brings to deeply personal legal battles and the trust she builds with her clients. In a field that often demands resilience and determination, she is respected not only for the results she achieves, but also for the integrity with which she practices.
Her professional excellence has earned widespread recognition. Anna has been recognized multiple times on the Texas Rising Stars list, published by Super Lawyers, and in The Best Lawyers in America® for her work in mass tort and personal injury litigation on behalf of plaintiffs. She has also been named to The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 Under 40; recognized among the Lawdragon 500 X – The Next Generation honorees in 2024 and 2025; and included in the Lawdragon 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers guide in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Anna has remained actively engaged with Baylor Law School through her continued service to its students and alumni. In addition to supporting the Baylor Law Alumni Association, she volunteers with Baylor Law School’s career development programs and interscholastic competitions. Her continued engagement reflects her commitment to investing in future Baylor Lawyers and strengthening the Baylor Law School community.
Anna also continues a proud Baylor Law School family tradition. Her father, Ed Blizzard, JD ’78, and uncle, Joe Blizzard, JD ’94, are Baylor Lawyers, as is her husband, Matt Greenberg, JD ’14. While carrying that tradition forward, Anna has established herself as an accomplished trial lawyer whose career reflects her own talent, determination, and unwavering commitment to justice.
Grounded in her Christian faith, Anna and her husband attend Ecclesia Church in Houston and support Family Legacy, a nonprofit organization that operates schools in Africa. Together with her responsibilities as a mother of two, her faith and service continue to shape both her life and her work, reflecting the character, compassion, and commitment to serving others that Baylor Law School seeks to cultivate in its graduates.
"Baylor Law has been an important part of my family’s story, so receiving this recognition is especially meaningful. I am grateful for the foundation it gave me and for the values of integrity, service, and excellence that continue to guide me every day,” said Anna. “I hope my career reflects those values and the responsibility we have as lawyers to be a voice for others."
