This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Awesome Man, Awesome Attorney

Mr. Sorrels helped me when I got a DWI in Dallas, TX. Barry was already well known and liked by every Judge, Attorney, Law Clerk and Assistant, and new them all by name. He is a people person who does not put himself above others. His amazing knowledge of all aspect of law, his defense tactics and le...gal acumen is just astounding. While I was over the legal limit of alcohol to be driving, within 5 minutes he had my case dismissed. I cannot thank him enough for his expert assistance and calming demeanor in such a tough situation. Thank you again, dear Sir! God has a special place for you in Heaven!

Wonderful man, attorney, and listener

I am an attorney. After my experience I ended up in law school and am now in my fourth year practicing criminal defense. I run my own solo practice and in my own right have become successful. I fell into some trouble in undergrad and this man saved my life. I wish only the best on him and his fam...ily. His best quality in all honesty was listening and letting me feel comfortable.

"Since leaving active duty military and starting my law practice several years ago, I have come to know Barry very well. You will be hard-pressed to find a better criminal defense attorney anywhere in Texas. I have been with him in court and heard him lecture at CLE's across the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex. He is quite simply one of the best. If you find yourself in a jam, hire this lawyer."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
