Looking at the 2011 list of “100 Most Influential Hispanics in the United States,” it’s hard to tell which of Dallas attorney Marcos Ronquillo’s accomplishments and contributions might have caught the attention of the national publication’s editorial staff first.

In selecting Mr. Ronquillo to the influential list, editors at HispanicBusiness Magazine cited his thriving law practice that counts governmental agencies and Fortune 500 companies among trusted clients. But it wasn’t just professional accomplishments that tipped the balance, the publication also noted Mr. Ronquillo’s lifetime of public service and leadership in corporate boards and community organizations.  Earlier this year, for example, Mr. Ronquillo was named president of the Julian Samora Legacy Foundation Board. Meanwhile, Texas Lawyer has named as one of the "Extraordinary Minorities in Texas Law," while the Dallas Business Journal has included him among the top minority business leaders in Dallas/Fort Worth.

Mr. Ronquillo joins impressive company on the 2011 list, which also includes Chiquita Brands International CEO Fernando Aguirre, MicroTech CEO Tony Jimenez, and GameStop CEO Paul Raines.
