Paul Van Slyke | Houston Trademark Lawyer

I built a successful practice by having a track record of good client service, listening to client's needs, obtaining good results, finding creative solutions that keep costs low where possible, and word of mouth. Also, I make the client's goals my goals and respond the same day to calls and messages. I see the big picture from the client's perspective and I pay meticulous attention to what the client wants in that matter.

Clients should look for a lawyer a track record of goods results in the type of matter that client has. It does not matter where the office of the lawyer is located. It can be in the client's state or another state. A good question to ask a prospective lawyer before hiring him his what other matters he has handled like the client's issue and what solutions he proposes to address the client's issue.

Local knowledge is sometimes quite important, but can be attained by engaging local counsel who knows the judge and local procedure.

In a free telephone consultation, I can provide an answer on whether I can help the client, a timetable for getting a result and the chances of getting a good result or bad result.

I need all the basic facts including names and addresses, accurate dates of key events and names of opposing parties.

I have long track record of success in trademark, licensing and copyright transactions and litigation and experience shown on my resume. I pay careful attention to the client's needs and objectiives.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is helping people resolve legal problems and further their careers, families and businesses.

I love photography especially of landscape and wildlife

I teach youth groups at church. I have served on the boards of two non profits.
