Gardella Grace is proud to announce that Greg Gardella, Cook Alciati and Michael Dorfman have been recognized by Best Lawyers® in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®. Best Lawyers recognizes the top legal talent in the country based entirely on peer review.

Principal, Cook Alciati, has been recognized for his work in Intellectual Property Litigation. Mr. Alciati’s work as lead counsel in district courts throughout the country and representation before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have now led to recognition by multiple publications over consecutive years.

Principal, Michael Dorfman, has been recognized for the second year in a row for his work in Intellectual Property Litigation. Mr. Dorfman’s background in electrical engineering and more than 20 years of legal experience allow him to successfully represent both patent owners and accused infringers in litigation in a broad array of technological areas. Mr. Dorfman has litigated cases in numerous district courts throughout the country and also appeared on behalf of petitioners and patent owners in inter partes review proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

Principal, Greg Gardella, has been recognized since 2012 for his work in Patent Litigation. Mr. Gardella’s broad technical aptitude, arising from his dual degrees in electrical and mechanical engineering, has enabled him to successfully defend and challenge patents in a variety of fields. His success has led to being honored by multiple publications on a yearly basis. A current client noted, “Greg is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable of patent law. He is very easy to work with and uses layman terms when discussing patent law and processes so the average person understands what is taking place.”

Congratulations to the team for being recognized.
