White-Collar, Criminal Defense Attorney Barry Sorrels Named Among Dallas' Best

DALLAS, April 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Acclaimed Texas white-collar and criminal defense attorney Barry Sorrels again has been selected by his peers in the Texas legal community for D Magazine's annual listing of "The Best Lawyers in Dallas." The 2014 list marks the ninth time Mr. Sorrels has been singled out by D Magazine as one of the city's most respected lawyers.

In a career spanning more than 30 years, Mr. Sorrels has developed a reputation for handling high-stakes white-collar and criminal defense cases involving sports personalities, business leaders and elected officials in matters ranging from complex federal fraud and public corruption to first-degree murder. With his high-profile private practice and experience as a former felony prosecutor, Mr. Sorrels frequently serves as an expert legal analyst for local and national news outlets, including CNN, MSNBC and FoxNews.

To compile the list of "The Best Lawyers in Dallas," D Magazine asked practicing attorneys to identify Dallas lawyers, based on personal observation, who rank among the current best in their respective practice areas. Extra weight was given during the selection process to nominations received from outside the honoree's law firm. D Magazine editors then asked a blue-ribbon panel of Dallas lawyers to review the votes before announcing the final list. The list will be published in the May 2014 edition of D Magazine and is available online at www.dmagazine.com.

In addition to Mr. Sorrels, fellow Sorrels, Udashen & Anton partners Robert Udashen and Gary Udashen also are honored on the 2014 list.

A graduate of Columbia University and Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law, Mr. Sorrels is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. In addition to the legal commentary that he provides for local and national news outlets, Mr. Sorrels is a frequent lecturer on legal topics such as cross-examination, closing argument, the intangibles of trial lawyers, and media relations in high-profile cases.
