First and foremost, we are a litigation and trial firm. We handle business cases, with particular experience in complex matters involving technology and confidential business information. We handle intellectual property cases, with particular experience in patent, trademark, and trade secret cases. And we handle select civil and personal injury cases.
VIEW ALL PRACTICE AREASSophisticated counsel for every client. We have deep experience and a facility for quickly mastering bodies of complex information. This gives our clients an edge in cases – whether business, IP, or civil – involving complex fact issues and novel questions of law.
Focused personal attention. We do not run a volume practice. We do not rely on a sea of nameless associates and paralegals. We get to know you. Our firm answers your questions, addresses your concerns, and keeps cases moving to advance your interests.
Smart strategies tailored to you. Some law firms treat litigation like a game of foosball. We prefer to see it as a game of chess. Whether you’re a business or an individual, we craft and execute a strategic plan with your specific needs and objectives in mind.
You need the facts at your fingertips. These are some of the questions we hear most often. While the answers are general and may not apply to your specific situation, they can provide a starting point as you make a decision about hiring a lawyer. Check back for regular updates.

These forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) each have their pros and cons. When chosen judiciously and handled properly, they can provide an efficient means of resolving a dispute. At Maxwell Goss Law, we consider all alternatives and recommend options for securing justice on your behalf in a sensible, cost-effective manner.
Swift, decisive action is needed when your IP is at risk – whether it’s a trade secret, patented invention, distinctive trademark, or copyrighted content.
Sometimes the place to start is with a cease-and-desist letter. A strongly worded letter from a reputable attorney can get the infringer’s attention and may lead to a prompt resolution. If that does not produce results – or if the matter is so urgent it needs to get in front of a judge immediately – the IP owner can file suit and seek an injunction.
Where the IP owner has evidence of infringement and can show an imminent threat of irreparable harm to its business, the court may order an immediate halt to the offending conduct. If your IP has been infringed or misappropriated, Maxwell Goss Law can assess the situation and act quickly to protect your assets.
In a typical corporation or limited liability company, a shareholder or member is entitled to the following:
Majority owners can get into trouble when they start treating the company or its assets as their own personal property and ride roughshod over the interests of the others. Maxwell Goss Law can help you understand your rights and execute an action plan for getting the value and benefits you have earned.
