Since she was a child, Purvi Patel has been fascinated with Madonna. She once told her mother she wanted to be a lawyer and wear a pinstripe suit – like Madonna, albeit the pop queen had added the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier conical corset to her business attire. Patel continues to admire the pop star’s art, ambition and branding efforts. And, not surprisingly, the partner who chairs Haynes and Boone’s Trademark Practice Group has purchased a new pinstripe suit to welcome thousands to Dallas in early May for the International Trademark Association’s annual meeting.

  • From Risk to Reckoning: How a Dallas Lawyer’s Long Fight Delivered Vindication - Dallas attorney Laura Benitez Geisler agreed to represent former police captain Terry Bevill after hearing his story. He had been fired, arrested and charged with a felony for signing an affidavit questioning whether a coworker could receive a fair trial in Wood County, putting him at odds with powerful rural officials.

    Despite losing his job, health insurance and facing legal uncertainty for 16 months, Bevill said he would act the same way again because it was his duty to uphold the Constitution.

    Moved by his conviction, Geisler felt a responsibility to take his case.
