Karen‐Lee Pollak, a partner in the Dallas law firm of Goins, Underkofler, Crawford & Langdon, LLP, has earned a spot among the 2009 Texas Super Lawyers Rising Stars. Texas Super Lawyers Rising Stars selections are based on nominations made by attorneys appearing on the prestigious Texas Super Lawyers list. The designation is reserved for the top up‐and‐coming Texas attorneys who are 40 or younger or have been in practice fewer than 10 years. No more than 2.5% of lawyers in Texas are named to the Rising Stars list.

"Karen‐Lee brings exceptional legal skills and unwavering commitment to our clients," says Paul Underkofler, co‐founder of Goins, Underkofler, Crawford & Langdon, LLP and a Texas Super Lawyer himself. "This is an exceptional achievement. We are very proud of her". This year's list appears in the April issue of Texas Monthly, as well as Texas Rising Stars, a magazine co‐produced by the publishers of Texas Monthly and Law & Politics Media, Inc.
