Practice Areas

Intellectual Property 40%

I handle large cases involving intellectual property issues. Intellectual property is a fancier word for patent issues, copyright issues, and trademark issues, essentially. So whether you are the victim or wrongly accused, I can help.

40%
Estate Planning 20%

No one thinks about their own death, but they need to plan for it. Not doing so leaves the families, children, etc. in a difficult situation. I prepare wills, powers of attorney, and directives to physicians.

20%
Lawsuits and Disputes 20%

I handle lawsuits of all types and work to achieve a reasonable solution of disputes, if possible. If not possible, I handle it in Court. I represent both Plaintiffs and Defendants; my practice is not limited to one side or the other.

20%
Securities and Investment Fraud 20%

I had a great professor once that said that the securities laws will never work as they are designed to regulate human greed, and human greed cannot be regulated. That is still true, but those wrongs can be made right.

Excellent Attorney

Allen Gardner is an unbelievable attorney. He is very smart, and knows the law. But more importantly, he is a good person, salt of the earth. He has help me in lawsuits over property I manage. He's done my estate planning and my will. Allen has not only earned my respect as an attorney, but also as m...y close friend. I am just very fortunate that I have him for both. If you are looking for a great attorney in Texas, this is your man.

Lawsuits and disputes lawyer | Oct 24

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Allen and I have worked against each other in extremely complex and acrimonious cases, and have also worked together as co-counsel. I am extremely impressed with Allen's integrity as an attorney; he wants to do what is right for his client without wasting time or money, which value is a rarity in certain areas of practice. I am also impressed by his work ethic; I have seen him go above and beyond what any other attorney would do in terms of getting work done timely and thoroughly. He also has tremendous insight into the IP practice in this area, and knows this unique practice and the players as well as anyone, if not better. Any client, and particularly any in-house or other outside counsel, will be very well served from working with Allen."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
