I have worked with Bill for over twenty years, and have asked for his input and help with numerous intellectual property and corporate matters over the years, and have always found his work to be impeccable and his advice sound.

Bill is a great IP lawyer who are firm has used in Texas. He is well-versed in IP law and provides the personal one to one service not found in larger firms.
It is great to work with other attorneys on special practice areas, especially when they are in New Orleans and have great taste. When I have worked with Alan, my background in tech and tech law allows me to add value to a law firm that otherwise consists of some top notch folks in their respective fields. Tech law issues, are less common in Louisiana, but here in Austin it has been a cornerstone of my practice for over 30 years.

Bill was introduced to me by a very good friend at a time when I was being sued (wrongfully) by a bank. From the very beginning I felt that Bill was on my side, not just to deliver a service and get paid, but to ensure a fair and just outcome was achieved. I am happy to report that a fair and just ou...
Note from WAB: This client was a resident of Austin, TX where I practice law and knew him well, but he had returned permanently to his native country of New Zealand when the lawsuit arose. He had engaged trial counsel, and after many months of discovery, motions, etc. at significant expense the matter was set for trial. I accompanied my client and trial counsel to court on the trial date, made an appearance and asked the Judge for a final chance to settle. I was successful in settling the matter with opposing counsel (for a very large bank) in less than 1/2 hour for a small fraction of their claim, which was paid promptly, followed immediately by a nonsuit with prejudice, clearing my client's good name. My client was able to return to NZL without further concerns about the lawsuit. I only wish I had been involved earlier in the process. That's my idea of dispute resolution and client service!

Last year I founded my own company and Bill has been assisting me every step of the way ever since! I can't say enough good things about Bill, not only does he bring a wealth of knowledge but he is also very good at explaining everything that needs to happen and why so that we can be strategically po...
This client came to me with nothing more than a concept for a device that could save lives. I was compelled and agreed to help, even though they had no funding at that time. I helped with creating an entity, equity division, governance terms, etc., then I helped them obtain and document their first round of funding (after an initial false start with an investor who backed out after we prepared definitive documents). As of September, 2016, they had a proof of concept prototype for their device up and running, and it appears that success is just around the corner. I am really glad to be a part of a company that helps save lives.

We are a startup and are about to enter our sixth year of business. Bill was there from the beginning and has provided us excellent, precise, and well thought through legal advise on a number of contract and legal issues. Moreover, we have drawn on his extensive network of resources in the rare tim...
"I endorse this lawyer. Bill and I were across the table on a deal. He was thorough and a strong advocate for his client, but still a pleasure to work with. He and I have since become friends and he is of my first calls when I have a difficult legal question."
