The Governor has appointed Sofia Adrogué and Grant Dorfman to be judges of the Eleventh Business Court Division, effective September 1, 2024, for terms set to expire on September 1, 2026. The Eleventh Business Court Division is composed of the counties of Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Matagorda, and Wharton.
Here are a few comments from Diamond McCarthy’s Managing Partner, Allan Diamond:
“Sofia is a tireless devotee to all the best things about humanity as well as a dedicated servant to the public and the legal profession. She will unflinchingly devote her talent, skills, and intellect to making the first ever Texas Business Court a model example of how justice should be impartially applied in complex business disputes while displaying the highest level of demeanor and appropriate grace from the bench. I am proud to have been her partner throughout the past couple of decades and look forward to her positive influence on the shape and direction of building the best business court in the nation.”
