William H. O'Rourke Has Been Recognized Among the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©

Denver, CO, September 11, 2016 (Newswire.com) - William H. O'Rourke, Attorney at Law, has joined The Expert Network, an invitation-only service for distinguished professionals. Mr. O'Rourke has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.

Mr. O'Rourke outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, numerous awards and recognitions, and career longevity. He received his Juris Doctor from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law in 1977 and his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and History from the University of Denver in 1972. In addition to his practice, Mr. O’Rourke has taught Real Estate Law at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.

With nearly 40 years dedicated to law, Mr. O'Rourke brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his area of specialization, business and transaction law. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. O'Rourke said:

"After college, I went to work for a savings and loan association. I was young and poor and working and they agreed to pay for substantial amounts of my law school, if I could make any case at all that the course materials either then or might in the future have some impact on what I was doing for that association. So between student loans and a very supportive employer, I was able to go to law school at night at the University of Denver."

As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. O’Rourke keeps his finger on the pulse of new developments in the law that could affect his practice and his clients. In particular, he has witnessed how the changing marijuana laws in Colorado have opened new doors for many young entrepreneurs as well as lawyers looking to help them grow their businesses. He noted:

"In that area of practice, there's a crying need for really good lawyers because this is kind of a ‘Wild West’ business. It’s reached the point where the original owners, many of whom were coming out of the woodwork and were doing it illegally have become legal and highly regulated by both the State of Colorado and the local jurisdictions in which the businesses are located. Now we are already seeing second and third generation ownership. That has been a huge area of growth in my practice and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Mr. O’Rourke is a member of the Colorado Bar Association where he serves on the Committee on Alcohol and Related Problems and the Real Estate and Titles Committee), the Denver Bar Association, and the American Bar Association
