Tim has spent more than a decade representing clients both as plaintiff and defendant in patent disputes in venues ranging from United States District Courts to the International Trade Commission.  Tim has brought his legal and technical expertise to bear on disputes involving a wide variety of technical fields such as essential wireless telecommunications standards, computer central processing unit substrates, computer networking, computer graphics processing, computer database searching and management, capacitive touch sensors, aesthetic treatment machines, and oil and gas extraction.

Tim’s approach to practice has often been described as a “relentless” pursuit of the client’s objectives at all stages of a patent dispute. Tim also prides himself in mastering and curating the factual and legal record of a case in order to tell a compelling story at trial while at the same time keeping a careful watch on the client’s business priorities throughout the process.

Pro Bono is also a vital part of Tim’s practice, including assisting more than a dozen victims of domestic violence in obtaining protective orders.  Tim has also served as counsel to the National Homelessness Law Center and as co-counsel with the ACLU of Texas to challenge several Texas ordinances criminalizing homelessness. Finally, Tim has had the privilege of representing disabled veterans in conjunction with the National Veterans Legal Services Program in benefits proceedings before the Boards of Veterans’ Appeals and the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.
