Leading the Legal Community

As president, Gary A. Dordick has focused on making the organization more inclusive by promoting diversity and expanding access for younger and underrepresented trial lawyers. His leadership reflects his broader values: justice, opportunity, and inclusion.
Cancer Survivor & Advocate
In addition to his accomplishments in the courtroom, Gary A. Dordick’s personal journey is one marked by resilience. In 2007, he was diagnosed with cancer, a life-changing moment that he faced with the same courage and determination he brings to every case. Through treatment, unwavering support from family, and an indomitable spirit, he ultimately beat the disease. In 2019, he shared the powerful news that he was cancer-free, a milestone that underscored not only his strength but his deep gratitude for life.
His experience fueled a commitment to giving back. Today, he continues to support cancer research through the Dordick Trial College, where all proceeds benefit cancer-related causes. For him, advocacy extends beyond the courtroom. It’s about using every platform, legal, personal, and professional, to improve lives.
Giving Back Through Education and Advocacy
The Dordick Trial College, is a unique trial training experience held annually in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This event brings together top trial lawyers and law students from across the country to teach, learn, and grow as professionals, all while raising funds for cancer research.
