Mr. Gilliland earned dual recognition in patent and intellectual property litigation, his first in both areas.

“Dan and I share a belief that our clients’ best interests should take precedence over all else,” said Mr. Gilliland. “To earn peer-selected recognition such as this validates that we are succeeding on that front.”

Mr. Sorey represents clients injured as the result of the negligence of others throughout the Southwest, bringing a decade’s worth of experience as a law enforcement officer to his legal practice.
