Godwin Ronquillo PC Announces Donald E. Godwin Selected to Best Lawyers in America® List for 2012
Dallas, TX, November 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Godwin Ronquillo, a national trial and appellate firm with offices in Dallas and Houston, is proud to announce that Donald E. Godwin has been selected to The Best Lawyers in America® list for 2012. Best Lawyers is the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. A listing in Best Lawyers is widely regarded by both clients and legal professionals as a significant honor, conferred on a lawyer by his or her peers.
Beginning with his modest upbringing in North Carolina, Donald E. Godwin, through many years of hard work and commitment, became a self-made man who has continually set the bar high for his personal and career goals. As a trial lawyer for the past 38 years, he has earned a national reputation from his extensive litigation experience throughout the United States. While representing clients before trial judges and juries in many states, Mr. Godwin has built a well-recognized and formidable trial and appellate law firm, which is regularly called upon to handle Mission Critical Litigation®. His many significant accomplishments include his representation of Halliburton Company in asbestos and silica litigation in which he negotiated, over a 12 month period, a global settlement of nearly 400,000 claims throughout the United States.
“I am deeply honored to be included on the 2012 Best Lawyers in America list. There is not a better or more satisfying feeling than to be the recipient of positive peer recognition," said Mr. Godwin. Dynamic, and always committed to pursuing his clients' best interests, Mr. Godwin has tried significant cases in courts across the State of Texas, and around the country. His experience covers a wide spectrum of complex litigation including oil and gas, environmental, fiduciary duties, will contests, major family law disputes and business torts. He is respected for his success, tenaciousness, and courtesy in and out of the courtroom. He has an uncanny ability to translate complex facts and legal points into easily understandable language for courts and juries. Mr. Godwin is the Lead Trial Lawyer for Halliburton in connection with all civil litigation and investigations concerning BP's Macondo well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico.
Albert Cornelison, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Halliburton and the Halliburton Company are long time clients of Mr. Godwin. Mr. Cornelison stated, “We at Halliburton completely agree with the selection of Don for the 2012 list published by Best Lawyers in America. From a client standpoint, we see first-hand all the reasons why Don has been included on this prestigious list.” Heather Davis, Managing Editor Best Lawyers/Best Law Firm stated, “Congratulations to Don and welcome to the 2012 list of The Best Lawyers in America®. We are very proud of The Best Lawyers in America® and our transparent and credible methodology. We strive to represent Texas as accurately as possible in the way of highly respected attorneys in the legal marketplace and stand by our mission to provide clients with information on attorneys who are well respected in their fields of expertise.”
For three decades, Best Lawyers® lists have earned the respect of the profession, the media, and the public, as the most reliable, unbiased source of legal referrals anywhere and based on more than 3.9 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers and read by 17 million readers.
The lists of outstanding attorneys are compiled by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which tens of thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. If the votes for an attorney are positive enough for inclusion in Best Lawyers®, that attorney must maintain those votes in subsequent polls to remain on the list for each edition. Lawyers are not permitted to pay any fee to participate in or be included on Best Lawyers lists.
Godwin Ronquillo is a Texas based trial and appellate firm that represents Fortune 500 and middle-market industry leaders in Mission Critical Litigation® throughout the United States.
