Texas Law Firm Godwin Lewis Changes Name to Godwin PC
The Texas trial and appellate law firm Godwin Lewis PC, with offices in Dallas and Houston, is changing the firm name to Godwin PC.
The name change reflects the departure of name partner and family law attorney Marilea Lewis, who is leaving to join the Dallas-based family law firm Orsinger, Nelson, Downing and Anderson, LLP.
“This was a natural evolution for Marilea and the best thing for her and her practice at this point in her career,” says Godwin PC Chairman and CEO Donald E. Godwin. “I think the world of Marilea and her work, and this is a very good opportunity for her to practice with an entire firm of lawyers who do family law work and do it very well.”
The newly renamed Godwin PC will continue its primary focus, built over the past 35 years, on business and commercial litigation and appeals. The firm is known for handling some of the biggest business litigation cases in Texas and elsewhere, including its successful representation of Halliburton in the landmark environmental litigation stemming from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
“I’ve so enjoyed working with Don and the other excellent attorneys here,” says Ms. Lewis. “But this was just a very good opportunity at the right time in my career. I appreciate everything Don and the others have done for me.”
Joining Ms. Lewis at Orsinger Nelson from Godwin PC is attorney Lon Loveless, who also practices family law.
Godwin PC is home to attorneys who have been named to multiple top-lawyers lists, including The Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA and Texas Super Lawyers. The firm also is ranked by Chambers USA, and is named to the 2015 list of the Best Law Firms by Best Lawyers and U.S. News & World Report.
Founded in 1980, Godwin PC is a mid-sized trial and appellate firm with a national practice. With offices in Dallas and Houston, Godwin represents Fortune 500 and middle-market industry leaders in Mission Critical Litigation® throughout the United States.
