DALLAS, May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The Texas-based law firm of Godwin
Pappas & Ronquillo PC recorded the largest improvement in profitability
among Texas law firms during the previous year, as reported in Texas Lawyer
newspaper's recently released Annual Report on Firm Finance.

    The report, which was published in April, looks at the financial
strength of the state's 25 highest grossing law firms. In order to assemble
the list, reporters and editors at Texas Lawyer relied on 2007 statistics
to determine Gross Revenue, Profits Per Partner, Revenue Per Lawyer and Net
Income at the state's most profitable firms. A fifth category, the
Profitability Index, combines the Profits Per Partner and Revenue Per
Partner categories to determine a firm's profitability.

    A sixth-place Profits Per Partner ranking and a 10th-place Revenue Per
Partner ranking helped propel Godwin Pappas to seventh place on the
Profitability Index for Texas law firms during 2007. The dramatic
improvement over the firm's 22nd place ranking in 2006 represents the
largest jump among the 19 firms that enjoyed a profitable 2007, according
to the publication.

    "We are very pleased with our overall performance in 2007," says Donald
E. Godwin, firm Chairman and CEO. "We remain committed to providing our
clients with the highest quality of legal representation in litigation and
appellate matters, just like we've done for more than 28 years since the
firm was founded."

    Godwin Pappas is a mid-sized trial and appellate law firm that
represents Fortune 500 and middle-market industry leaders in Texas and
throughout the United States. We Solve the Problem(TM)!
