He has particularly extensive experience in the Fifth Circuit and D.C. Circuit, with 40 arguments across those two circuits alone. Mr. Streett maintains an active practice in the Supreme Court of the United States, representing parties in merits cases seven times since 2010, as well as filing numerous amicus and certiorari-stage briefs. Mr. Streett's appellate practice includes commercial litigation, federal statutory issues, constitutional law, administrative law, jurisdictional issues, securities, antitrust, and energy litigation.
Mr. Streett is one of only two Texas-based appellate lawyers to be ranked both statewide and nationally in Appellate Law by Chambers USA (2023). He has been described in Chambers as “an excellent Supreme Court practitioner” a “national-caliber litigator with an exceptional intellect,” and “one of the top legal minds in the state of Texas, who is noted for his adept handling of energy and commodities matters, alongside his expertise in high-profile constitutional matters." In 2014, Mr. Streett was named one of only six "Appellate MVPs" nationwide by Law360, which had previously recognized him in 2011 as one of the top five appellate "Rising Stars" under age 40. That publication stated that Mr. Streett's “proclivity for courtroom presentation and a broad knowledge of constitutional law have helped [him] score victories in complex and high-stakes cases for clients in the energy, financial services, telecommunications and other industries." In 2021, Mr. Streett was honored as the "Lawyer of the Year" for Appellate Practice in Houston by Best Lawyers magazine.
