Putting a name to the face
Rod Dorilás
Rod Dorilás is the managing attorney of Sovereign Law Group PLLC. He oversees the entire firm’s operations and is a central figure in maintaining client relationships and ensuring that each transaction and case is completed successfully.
Rod believes the true engine of America’s economy is small to mid-size businesses. He knows that many families and communities depend on the success of these businesses. He knows navigating the laws, complying with voluminous state and federal regulations, and cutting through administrative red tape are costly and onerous tasks for any business, let alone small businesses. This reality can destroy millions of American dreams.
Rod’s ultimate vision is to disrupt the traditional legal business model of billable hours and unaffordability of professional business legal services. The backbone of America’s economy deserves quality and competent general counsel services, not only Big Business. That’s why he promotes the option of setting fixed monthly rates for specific general counsel service packages that are tailored to the needs of today’s business communities.
