Texas Super Lawyers Recognizes Three from Dallas' Taber Estes Thorne & Carr

DALLAS, Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dallas law firm of Taber Estes Thorne & Carr PLLC is pleased to announce that attorneys Dawn Estes, Jessica Thorne and Melanie Okon have earned spots on the 2012 Texas Super Lawyers listing of the state's top attorneys.

This marks the 10^th consecutive year that Ms. Estes has been featured on the Texas Super Lawyers list, where she has been included based on her work in business litigation each year since the list was first published in 2003. She also is featured among the Top 50 women attorneys in Texas and the Top 100 attorneys in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

This is the first Texas Super Lawyers selection for Ms. Okon, who earned a spot on the 2012 listing based on her work for clients in business litigation matters. Last year, Ms. Okon was profiled by Texas Lawyer newspaper in its "Winning Women" list of the state's top women lawyers. Ms. Thorne is featured on the Texas Super Lawyers listing for the fourth time in recognition of her work in family law.

"This is indeed an honor for our entire firm," says Ms. Estes. "The growth of our firm has been fueled by bringing together the top attorneys and delivering consistent results for our clients, and we're proud that others in the Texas legal community recognize that success."

The 2012 Texas Super Lawyers list appears in the October editions of Texas Monthly and Texas Super Lawyers magazines. To compile the annual listing of the state's top lawyers, researchers asked more than 70,000 attorneys across Texas to nominate the state's best lawyers. A blue-ribbon panel of attorneys then reviewed the nominees' professional backgrounds before making the final selections. Less than five percent of all Texas attorneys are recognized each year.

It features a collaborative team of highly experienced attorneys, representing clients in business litigation and transactions, labor and employment, family law, health care, energy, construction, bankruptcy, insurance and other corporate legal matters.
