HOUSTON, Aug. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The commercial litigation and maritime law firm Royston Rayzor Vickery & Williams LLP is pleased to announce that seven firm lawyers in four cities across Texas have earned spots in the 2016 edition of The Best Lawyers in America, one of the most prestigious guides to the U.S. legal industry.
The outstanding litigation track record of James R. Watkins earned him the individual distinction as the Houston metro area Lawyer of the Year for admiralty and maritime cases. Mr. Watkins, who works from the firm's Galveston office, has been listed in Best Lawyers for 16 consecutive years.
Also selected to the 2016 edition of Best Lawyers for their admiralty and maritime work are Corpus Christi attorney Ralph F. Meyer, managing partner of Royston Rayzor, and Houston lawyers James P. Cooney, John M. Elsley, John F. Unger and David R. Walker. William W. Pierson earned selection for his personal injury litigation work for defendants in San Antonio, where he practices now, and his previous location in Corpus Christi.
The Best Lawyers in America is the oldest peer-review guide to lawyers in the nation. It relies on nominations from tens of thousands of attorneys. The nominees are then judged by lawyers in the same area of law and editors do an evaluation for the final selections.

Mr. Cooney has been featured in Best Lawyers since 1995; Mr. Elsley, Mr. Unger and Mr. Walker since 2005; and Mr. Pierson since 2010.
