The best.

The internet is amazing. There is a world of information at our fingertips every second of every day. And that's a great thing ... generally.

But when the time comes to choose a restaurant, or a doctor, or someone to repair your roof, where do you go? How do you cut through all of the information that is out there? How do you avoid falling victim to someone who has posted incorrect information?

We like to think we have the solution: The Best of East Texas.

The results are in. You, the readers of the Longview News-Journal and newsjournal.com, have weighed in on your favorite businesses and personalities. With hundreds of thousands of votes spread across more than 200 categories, this is the biggest Best of East Texas edition yet.

And we’d like to think this is the best Best of East Texas yet, not only because there are more votes across more categories, but because of the magazine you are holding.

We hope you enjoy this version of the Best of East Texas, and keep it until the 2025 version comes out.

Rose Retirement was founded to help others build a lasting legacy today that will impact their family for generations to come. The inspiration behind our name came from my daughter, Lindee Rose. As a father and husband, I understand the importance of working hard to provide for my family now and working hard to make sure a wellthought-out plan is in place that will provide for my family in the future.

In the same way, I know that helping others build a plan that protects and provides for their family is just as important. I am here to help you

Goudarzi & Young is the best trial firm in the state devoted to representing people who are injured by the careless acts of others. The firm has represented over 28,000 individuals.

• Four years in a row Brent Goudarzi has been voted the #1 18 wheeler accident lawyer in America

wrongful death in American history. Goudarzi & Young obtained this settlement despite the difficulties facing the legal profession during the pandemic, including the fact that virtually all civil trials have been postponed.

In 2022, Goudarzi & Young exceeded their own record by settling a single wrongful death case for $55 million. Six months later, Goudarzi & Young again broke their own record, by settling two wrongful deaths for $75 million each.

Insurance carriers and corporations know they must respect Goudarzi & Young more than any other firm because of the results the firm has obtained. These verdicts and settlements have changed industries and made the roads safer; not only for Texans, but for the entire nation. Goudarzi & Young will continue to try cases and hold corporations and individuals accountable when they negligently injure others.
