I represent both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts, as well as arbitrations.  I have a diverse litigation practice in the areas of business and commercial law, premises liability, insurance defense, non-compete/confidentiality agreements, partnership disputes and fiduciary liability.  I have handled numerous trials as lead counsel with successful results.  I have tried to verdict or judgment more than 40 trials throughout Texas, and have also set the stage for many victories through aggressive use and defense of temporary restraining orders and injunctions.  I am also highly adept at all pre-trial aspects of litigation, often using creative legal theory and procedure to my client's advantage.  My broad experience allows me to provide exceptional representation to clients on a wide variety of issues.

I also maintain an intellectual property practice representing businesses and innovative individuals, especially in the courtroom and on both sides of the docket.  I prosecute trademark and copyright applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.   This experience allows me to manage and enforce trademark portfolios for various national clients.  My primary areas of expertise in this field include trademark, trade dress, copyright, trade secrets, unfair competition, domain name disputes, and internet-related claims.
