Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) June 07, 2017 -- GoransonBain’s reputation for being among Texas’ most respected family law attorneys is further strengthened with five attorneys being named to the 2017 Texas Super Lawyers® Rising Star list.

Samler among the only 2.5 percent of the Texas' nearly 97,000 attorneys who received the annual honor. Each of the family law attorneys is making a repeat appearance on the list.
The annual selections are made using a patented multiphase process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates and peer reviews by practice area.
“This affirmation by the legal community reinforces our belief that a taking a reasoned approach to family law matters is in our client’s best interest and at the same time has earned us the respect of our peers,” said Curtis W. Harrison II, Managing Partner.

• P. Lindley Bain, a Board-Certified Family Law attorney who manages the firm’s Austin office.
