Don Godwin Knows That Creative Thinking Can Help Reach Settlements in Tough Divorce Cases
Dallas, TX, October 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Godwin Ronquillo PC, the noted Texas trial and appellate law firm, with offices in Dallas, Houston and Plano, is continually looking for ways to enhance its clients’ interests in divorce settlements according to the Firm’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, Donald E. Godwin.

Don Godwin explains, “There is no question we always seek the best outcome for our clients in the shortest possible timeframe. The exciting part of our continuing assessment of our efforts and successes in this regard is revealing how creative thinking can enhance the process and sometimes make the difference in reaching a settlement in the shortest time possible.

"Our clients look to us to provide insight and out-of-the-box ideas and suggestions about how to best help them resolve their divorce cases. There is no cookie-cutter approach that will work in every case and attempting to manage the client’s expectations will definitely play an important role in the outcome of the litigation."

Marilea Lewis, head of the Family Law section of Godwin Ronquillo added, “We study these extraordinary cases to learn how to potentially achieve breakthroughs when both sides in a divorce are deadlocked. Don has significant experience and insight into these situations and the case studies give our Family Law attorneys vital tips on how to deliver the highest quality of service to our clients which is our number one priority.”

Don Godwin continues, “Creative thinking in high-stress divorce situations doesn’t come easy to every attorney and requires a high degree of focus and discipline. I suggest to our Family Law attorneys not to wait for deadlocks, but instead to look ahead and act early enough so that creative ideas will be better received and have a chance to work. Our commitment to finding the shortest route to divorce settlements is a philosophy we impart to all our Family Law attorneys.”
