Expert guidance through a complex trademark dispute

When a competitor challenged our company's core brand, Steve Meleen was our immediate choice. His deep focus on trademark law, honed over 14 years, was evident from our first consultation. He expertly navigated the intricacies of the opposition, providing clear, strategic counsel at every turn. Steve’s professionalism and calm demeanor were invaluable, turning a stressful situation into a manageable process. The result was a complete victory that secured our trademark rights. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' is well-deserved. For any serious intellectual property matter in Texas, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
