Colin L. Powell

Expert guidance through a complex partnership dispute

Our small manufacturing company was embroiled in a difficult and potentially ruinous dispute with a former business partner over contract terms and non-compete violations. The situation felt overwhelming. From our first consultation at Hartline Barger, Colin Powell demonstrated a command of commercial litigation that immediately instilled confidence. He didn't just recite the law; he explained the strategic landscape specific to Texas courts, which was invaluable. His background, including his recognition in commercial litigation, was evident in his precise approach. Despite having a robust practice, he made us feel like a priority, maintaining clear and consistent communication throughout. Colin and his team meticulously prepared our case, anticipating the other side's arguments and crafting compelling counterpoints. His negotiation was firm yet pragmatic, ultimately securing a settlement that protected our intellectual property and allowed our business to move forward without a protracted court battle. His three years of focused experience in this field translated into efficient, effective counsel. We are profoundly grateful for his professionalism, expertise, and the positive outcome he achieved for us.
