Dallas' Deborah Hankinson Ranked Among Top 3 Attorneys in Texas

DALLAS, Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Acclaimed appellate attorney, mediator and arbitrator Deborah Hankinson, founder of leading appellate boutique Hankinson LLP, has been named one of the Top 3 attorneys in Texas based on nominations from fellow lawyers in the 2015 edition of Texas Super Lawyers, which recognizes the state's top legal practitioners.

In addition to the Top 3 ranking, Ms. Hankinson earned her fourth selection among the state's Top 10 lawyers in the exclusive annual listing based on her work in appellate law. Joining her on the Super Lawyers list this year is firm partner Rick Thompson, who earned his second selection to the list for his representation of clients in appellate cases.

Owned by the news publisher Thomson Reuters, Super Lawyers develops its lists based on nominations from lawyers, assessments by a research team, and final evaluations from lawyers in the same practice areas.

"Super Lawyers is an important honor because it relies on input from attorneys just like us," Mr. Thompson says. "It's gratifying to know that people who do the same legal work view us as among the best."

Mr. Thompson, a former Texas Assistant Solicitor General, argued and prevailed in the IT-Davy case involving issues of sovereign immunity before the Supreme Court of Texas. He also played a key role in last year's decision in Bostic v. Georgia-Pacific, a significant asbestos ruling in which the state's high court found in favor of his client, Georgia-Pacific.

A former Texas Supreme Court justice and widely respected appellate lawyer and strategist, Ms. Hankinson also mediates disputes and serves as an arbitrator. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Arbitration Association.

The firm's attorneys work with trial teams to develop strategies designed to put a case in the best position before, during and after trial.
