Don Godwin Dallas Attorney: Providing Client and Family Support After Divorce
Dallas, TX, October 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Godwin Ronquillo PC, the noted Texas trial and appellate law firm, with offices in Dallas, Houston and Plano, continues to find ways to expand the Firm’s base of support for divorce clients even after the divorce is finalized.
The firm’s internal conversation on divorce and family law topics continues as the Family Law practice area attorneys explore additional ways to achieve best outcomes for their divorce clients. The current topic is to redefine “best outcome” to include the period of time directly after a divorce has become final.
Don Godwin, Chairman and CEO of Godwin Ronquillo, explains, “As other firms are putting cases to bed, we feel that our role is not over. Our goal is to make sure our clients and their families have the ongoing support and resources necessary to make the most of their new situation. After the stress of divorce, clients need to know they still have a strong legal support system and a firm foundation as they move into a new phase of life. From estate planning and trust modifications to corporate matters that were not directly affected by the divorce, the combined experience of our family law and commercial trial lawyers can be of great value.”
Marilea Lewis, head of the Family Law section of Godwin Ronquillo added,
“The end of a divorce can mean the beginning of other issues that may have been delayed and now need attention. Clients need to have confidence that their law firm has the depth of talent and experience needed to handle some of the life changes that can follow a tough, drawn out case.”
Don Godwin continues, "For good reason divorce cases are concerned with a finite list of issues to be addressed and resolved. Decisions made in a divorce case set in motion what most clients consider a 'new reality.' We want to make sure our clients have all the help they need to move on with their lives."
Don Godwin is considered one of the most respected and tenacious trial lawyers in the United States. For nearly 40 years, Don has tried significant jury cases in courts throughout Texas and across the nation. He has the ability to translate complex matters of law and fact into easily understandable language for courts and juries.

He 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.
Additionally, Don was the lead counsel for Halliburton in its landmark asbestos and silica litigation, negotiating the global settlement of Halliburton's approximately 382,000 asbestos claims throughout the United States. In addition to being recognized as a leading trial lawyer in the United States, Don has also earned the reputation among corporate executives, their legal departments, and other highly visible individuals as a master negotiator when risks are substantial and the future and successes of such clients are on the line.
