DALLAS, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Name shareholders Donald E. Godwin and Marilea Lewis, along with 10 additional attorneys from the Dallas and Houston offices of the trial and appellate law firm Godwin Lewis PC, are being honored on the 2014 Texas Super Lawyers list of the state's top attorneys.
"Our firm is home to a great number of truly outstanding attorneys who could have easily joined the 12 of us on this list," says Mr. Godwin, the firm Chairman and CEO. "However, I am very pleased with the range of expertise represented among those honored. It is always gratifying to receive recognition, but especially so when it is across several different practice areas."
This marks the 12th consecutive Texas Super Lawyers selection for Mr. Godwin, whose Business Litigation practice has been recognized each year since the publication's 2003 inaugural edition. He also earned additional honors this year with his 6th selection to the list of the Top 100 Attorneys in Texas and his 10th selection to the Top 100 in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Mr. Godwin currently serves as the lead trial lawyer for Halliburton in the ongoing civil litigation and investigations stemming from the 2010 BP Macondo oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition to his Super Lawyers honors, Mr. Godwin has earned recognition in Chambers USA, the American City Business Journals' Who's Who in Energy listing and The Best Lawyers in America.
This is the third selection for Ms. Lewis, Managing Shareholder for Godwin Lewis and Chair of the firm's Family Law Litigation and Arbitration/Mediation Practice Groups. Her mediation expertise helped her earn additional recognition among the Top 100 Attorneys in Texas, Top 50 female attorneys in Texas, and Top 100 in Dallas-Fort Worth.
A former District Court judge, Ms. Lewis is a member of the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists and is a mediator in both general and family practice. In addition to her Super Lawyers honors, she has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America for four years running.

In addition, she joins Judge Lewis on the list of the Top 50 female attorneys. Earning her fourth selection to Texas Super Lawyers, Ms. O'Neil is Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in Family Law. She also has a strong practice in Family Law appellate matters, filling a unique niche in the field.
Joining Mr. Godwin with a 12th consecutive selection to the Texas Super Lawyers list is firm President R. Alan York, who practices in the firm's Houston office. His appellate practice also helped garner Mr. York his second consecutive selection among the Top 100 attorneys in Houston.

Bowman Jr. and Houston Civil Litigation Defense shareholder Gwen E. Richard. Dallas Civil Litigation Defense shareholder Gavin E.
