Old Arrest on Record
Texas expunction and nondisclosure orders can remove or seal qualifying arrests and convictions from public records. Eligibility depends on the charge, disposition, and waiting period.
Assault Charge
Texas assault charges can range from Class A misdemeanors to aggravated felonies. Self-defense is a complete defense but must be affirmatively raised and supported by evidence.
Trademark Infringement
Trademark infringement claims in federal court require proving likelihood of confusion between marks. The strength of your mark and the similarity of the goods or services are key factors.
Trade Secret Theft
Trade secret misappropriation claims under the Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act and the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act can support immediate injunctive relief and damages.
Trademark Registration
Federal trademark registration with the USPTO provides nationwide priority and significant enforcement advantages. The application process requires clearing conflicts and selecting the right classes.
Copyright Infringement
Copyright infringement can support statutory damages up to $150,000 per willful infringement plus attorney’s fees — but only if the work was registered before the infringement occurred.
Contested Divorce
A contested Texas divorce requires litigation of all disputed issues including property division, child custody, and support. The process typically takes 6-18 months.
Child Custody Dispute
Texas custody determinations are made based on the best interest of the child. Understanding the factors courts weigh is essential to building an effective case.
Business Asset in Divorce
Business valuation in a Texas divorce requires forensic accounting, an understanding of goodwill (personal vs. enterprise), and careful tracing of separate versus community property.
Child Support Enforcement
Texas child support enforcement options include wage withholding, contempt of court, license suspension, and in extreme cases, incarceration.
