Richard B. Sorrell, Sorrell Law Firm Founder and Principal
About Richard B. Sorrell
Rick did not set out in life to be a lawyer. He worked in radio for several years (and when that did not pay the bills in various other jobs) before returning to college and graduating with a B.A. in Biblical Studies. Rick went on to receive an MA from a Seminary located in North Carolina, and worked in various church and para-church ministries. It was not until the arrival of the Sorrell’s third child that Rick decided to go to law school.
Indiana University School of Law
Rick entered Indiana University School of Law (Bloomington), and graduated with a JD. While in law school, Rick spent 2 years working for United States Congressman Mike Sodrel. Rick attended functions with the Congressman, served as a policy analyst, drafted position statements, and answered the concerns and needs of the residents of the district. After law school, Rick and his wife Roberta decided to return to the Charlotte area, and Rick worked for a small law office in Charlotte, where he got to see many facets of the legal profession. In time, he went to work for the litigation department of a large Uptown Charlotte firm. While he freely admits that there was initially a certain excitement to riding the elevators to the top of a fancy skyscraper every morning, Rick missed the feeling of being able to help people and the close personal contact that can be had in a small office. (That being said, some of the probably-grossly-overpriced paintings in the offices of the large law firm were interesting.)
2008 The Sorrell Law Firm
Rick began the Sorrell Law Firm with the mission of providing quality legal services at an affordable price (our only paintings were done by Rick’s children).
