Introducing Gorsky, Gilbert, Snider, Horn, Rogers & Watsky, LLP

Dallas-based law firm Lyon, Gorsky & Gilbert, LLP, announces new name

With the addition of John Snider, Zach Horn, Robert Rogers, and David Watsky as partners, the prominent Dallas-based law firm Lyon, Gorsky & Gilbert, LLP, has changed its name to Gorsky, Gilbert, Snider, Horn, Rogers & Watsky, LLP.

Bob Gorsky, the firm’s founder, has been representing law enforcement officers and firefighters throughout his 46-year career. Major clients from the first day the firm opened include the Dallas Police Association, Texas Department of Public Safety Officers Association and, for more than 35 years, members of the Texas Municipal Police Association. The firm also represents multiple local police and fire associations and unions in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.

“Despite the name change, don’t expect any other major changes with the firm,” said Mr. Gorsky. “We intend to continue doing the same quality work we’ve been doing for decades in providing the best representation possible for police officers and firefighters.”

Mr. Gorsky was the first attorney in Texas to regularly respond on site to the scene of an officer-involved shooting and has built the practice into the largest firm in Texas with its primary focus of serving the legal needs of first responders.

Partners John Snider, Zach Horn and Robert Rogers represent police officers and firefighters in all aspects of their labor and employment needs. Mr. Rogers was a prosecutor for 11 years before joining the firm and Mr. Snider served as a law enforcement officer in the Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth areas for 15 years.

Partner David Watsky represents private sector employee unions in the airline, transport and music sectors, and partner Mark Gilbert has mediated and arbitrated thousands of disputes. He is considered among the best in the business and his services are in high demand in the Dallas area. Mr. Gilbert operates the Gilbert Mediation Group and Benchmark Arbitration.

The firm’s attorneys have been repeatedly honored by well-respected legal guides and publications, including Texas Super Lawyers, Texas Rising Stars and The Best Lawyers in America.

Gorsky, Gilbert, Snider, Horn, Rogers & Watsky, LLP, can trace its roots to the founding of the Dallas Police Association in 1959 and the Texas Department of Public Safety Officers Association in the mid-1970s. Today, the firm is the top public safety law firm in Texas, representing public employees, police and fire associations, and their members, in virtually all legal matters. The firm also provides trial and appellate representation in personal injury cases, including wrongful death and medical negligence, criminal defense, labor and employment law, family law and business litigation.
