Traffic Violations
Theft
Restraining Order
Mr. Valdez obtained a large 7-figure, lump-sum cash settlement against a large dental service organization (a “DSO”) and the DSO’s nearly 1000-lawyer law firm. Mr. Valdez’s client was a highly-respected Arizona dentist who was recruited by the DSO to to implement the Dr.’s highly successful operation in Texas and open a chain of pediatric dental offices. During the negotiation of the parties’ extremely complicated 40-year agreement, the 900+ lawyer firm represented the DSO while also providing services to the Dentist–including setting up the Dentist’s company (which would ultimately be the signatory to the contract between the DSO and Dentist). After a few years of their highly-profitable business enterprise, the DSO became increasingly dissatisfied with the Doctor’s refusal to put profits over patient care. As a result, the DSO began implementing strategies to essentially “squeeze out” Mr. Valdez’s client. The DSO (and the very lawyers who drafted the agreement between the parties) filed a lawsuit against the Dentist alleging numerous breaches of contract and asking a Harris County District Court (via declaratory judgment) to terminate the parties’ 40-year contract. Mr. Valdez vigorously defended the Houston lawsuit (which pitted Mr. Valdez against multiple law firms inside and outside of Texas). After months of heated litigation, the DSO ultimately dropped the Houston-based lawsuit. Immediately thereafter, Mr. Valdez filed suit in Dallas County asserting affirmative claims against the DSO and the DSO’s law firm, seeking damages exceeding $10 Million (based on retained experts’ opinions). Mr. Valdez went on to obtain a temporary restraining order against the DSO preventing them from from attempting to “shut down” the Dentist’s multiple dental offices. Not surprisingly, the DSO reasserted its previous claims against the Dentist, and the DSO sought damages exceeding $4 Million. After several months of extremely heated and contentious litigation (and over 4 separate mediations), the Defendants settled and agreed to pay a 7-figure all cash payment.

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
Like marital partners, business partners often have disagreements which, if not resolved, may have severe consequences on the partners’ business. Business co-owners often become distrustful of each other for real or imagined reasons, and sometimes they seek to terminate their business relationship. This is what we call a “business divorce.” Business divorces generally happen in one of two ways—by agreement or through litigation. Sometimes there are written contracts in place that govern the terms of the business divorce, like shareholder agreements, buy-sell agreements, partnership agreements, or limited liability company operating agreements. The attorneys at Valdez Washington have extensive experience negotiating and litigating business divorces. In these types of situations, it is extremely important that the client retains an attorney who understands the dynamics that exist in business dissolutions, which often involve disagreements between former friends, partners, and even family members. Our attorneys understand the importance of resolving these disputes quickly and efficiently so that our clients can return to what matters most—their business. Valdez Washington is well equipped to assist clients from the inception of disagreement through dissolution, if necessary. If negotiation is unsuccessful, we will aggressively litigate on our client’s behalf until the business divorce is complete.

The attorneys at Valdez Washington possess a unique combination of legal expertise and practical business experience that enables us to achieve our clients’ business objectives effectively and efficiently.
Trade Secrets
Intellectual Property
Even low-technology companies have intellectual property issues that may be important for the future success of the business. For example, do you require your employees and consultants to sign Confidentiality and Invention Assignment Agreements? Have you registered for a trademark for an important company logo or product? Do you put copyright notices on your written information? Are your trade secrets adequately protected?
Unfair Competition

Wrongful Termination
As a sole proprietor (also known as a “DBA”), you are personally liable for all monetary obligations that you incur, including things such as business debts and/or legal judgments against your business. For example, if you breach a business contract or fail to repay a business loan, your personal assets are at risk—regardless of whether the contract/loan was related to your business. In addition, if an employee happens to win a judgment against the business for things such as wrongful termination, etc., the employee’s lawyer can go after your personal assets, which includes personal property such as bank accounts, and (in some instances) your homes and/or cars. Some businesses—especially some that are just starting out—don’t mind being exposed to unlimited personal liability. But for the vast majority of businesses, the liability protections provided by a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) are invaluable.
Employment Contract
One day arbitration resulting in an award of $172,875. Mr. Valdez represented a plaintiff employee against her former employer for wrongful termination. Mr. Valdez’s client was an older Hispanic lady who signed a 3-year employment contract with the Defendant Employer. Although she had a three year contract, she was fired after only 3 months. Defendant refused to honor her employment agreement offerered “nuisance value” in response to Plaintiff’s demand. The six-figure arbitration award ended up costing them much more.
Non-compete Agreement
Mr. Valdez obtained extremely rare death-penalty sanctions against defendants in a very complicated and contentious business divorce lawsuit involving two former business partners. The Death Penalty sanctions were issued months after Mr. Valdez had already obtained a temporary restraining order and a temporary injunction against defendants–despite the fact that there were no non-compete agreements in place. During cross examination of defendant during the preliminary injunction hearing, Defendant ultimately admitted that he was lying about several different issues related to his unfair competition. Although Mr. Valdez’s client did not have a noncompete agreeement with his partner, the Court issued an injunction against Defendants partially as a result of Defendants’ being caught (and admitting to) lying during cross examination. Defendants later violated the Court’s injunction, and during a motion for sanctions, Defendant was caught lying to the Court yet again during cross examination about the violation of the Court’s orders. As a result, the Court issued death penalty sanctions on a damages model that exceeds several million dollars. The case is currently on mandamus with the Texas Supreme Court.
Severance Agreement
Sexual Harassment
Let’s return to the earlier example, but with an important variation. Suppose you and your partners form an LLC rather than a partnership. This time, if the employee wins a $100,000 verdict, you generally won’t be personally liable for paying the money (assuming you weren’t the one that committed the act). Be aware, however, that an LLC or Corporation doesn’t give you a 100% safety net. You can still face personal liability if you’re the person who intentionally causes harm to someone—such as sexual harassment or intentionally injuring a customer. That’s also true if you personally guarantee a business obligation like a bank loan.
