Sorey & Hoover L.L.P.

What Sorey & Hoover L.L.P. does

Sorey & Hoover L.L.P. is a Texas-based plaintiff litigation firm headquartered in Longview with a secondary office in Kingwood (Greater Houston), founded in 2010 by Dan Sorey and operating as a limited liability partnership. The firm represents individual clients in personal injury, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, nursing home abuse, trucking accidents, oil and gas field accidents, and select intellectual property matters, with particular concentration in East Texas, the Permian Basin region spanning Texas and New Mexico, and a stated nationwide reach. Its practice is anchored by founder Dan Sorey's board certification in personal injury trial law, ten years of prior law enforcement experience, and trial experience across five states, alongside partners Geoffrey G. Hoover, Karl A. Rupp, and Kevin Park. Published case results include a $115M patent litigation verdict, a $30M oilfield wrongful death settlement, a $9M energy litigation settlement, and 50+ additional matters ranging from $250K to $8.25M, supported by recognitions from Best Lawyers in America 2026, Best Law Firms 2026, Super Lawyers, The National Trial Lawyers Top 100/400, and America's Top 100.

The firm operates a contingency-fee revenue model across all practice areas, meaning clients owe no legal fees unless the firm secures a recovery, which aligns firm economics with case outcomes and creates a working-capital-intensive operating profile tied to case lifecycle timing. Its go-to-market is direct and high-touch: free initial consultations via phone and in-person, on-site client meetings at hospitals and homes when needed, plus content marketing across an active blog, 30+ condition-specific nursing home abuse pages, video client testimonials, and earned-media recognition in industry rankings. The firm does not develop proprietary technology; its most differentiated technical asset is the integration of qualified medical professionals into the case team to evaluate injury causation and preventable-harm theories, which supports expert testimony and case merit assessment.

As a small (1–10 employee) plaintiff practice with no outside capital, no disclosed revenue, and no institutional ownership, Sorey & Hoover competes on attorney credentials, niche regional expertise (especially Permian Basin oilfield and trucking), and a published results portfolio rather than on scale. Its expansion to date has been measured — adding a partner (Hoover), a second office (Kingwood), an IP practice line, and New Mexico / Permian Basin coverage — rather than aggressive multi-state scaling.
