Godwin, Chairman and CEO of the trial and appellate law firm Godwin Lewis PC, has been recognized in the 2014 edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business among the top commercial litigators in the country.

    One of the most respected and tenacious trial lawyers in Texas, Mr. Godwin earned recognition in Chambers USA based on his representation of clients in high-stakes complex litigation involving oil and gas, environmental matters, fiduciary duties, will contests, major family law disputes and business torts.

    Mr. Godwin is the lead trial lawyer for Halliburton Energy Services Co. in connection with all ongoing civil litigation and investigations stemming from the 2010 BP Macondo oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico. The multidistrict litigation includes more than 100,000 lawsuits and damage claims exceeding $40 billion, making it the largest environmental case in U.S. history.

    "While I am honored to have earned recognition from such a prestigious publication, I have to believe that although it was a personal honor, at its core, it is actually a validation of the tremendous work of this entire firm," says Mr. Godwin.
