Note: Because of my present workload, I am currently accepting new clients by referral only. Thank you.

My core legal competencies are securing patent and trademark protection; conducting patent non-infringement and invalidity analyses; and developing and litigating intellectual property cases for both plaintiffs and defendants.  In litigation, I have a wealth of experience in drafting summary judgment, appellate, and Markman (claim construction) briefs in intellectual property cases and arguing their merits in court hearings.  I developed these skills as a briefing attorney for the Texas Supreme Court, a major law firm associate, a solo practitioner collaborating with other law firms in litigation, and an author and presenter at several CLEs.  The discipline I applied in pursuing electrical engineering and law degrees from the Georgia Institute of Technology ('94, summa cum laude) and the University of Texas ('97, top 3%) is the discipline I continue to apply to my clients' matters.
