Business Litigation Attorney

Just got served? Read this first.

If you were served with a lawsuit yesterday or today, three things matter most right now:

1. Do not talk to the other side or their lawyer. Anything you say can be used against you.
2. Do not delete emails, texts, or documents. That can hurt your case worse than the lawsuit itself.
3. Call us today. Texas state-court answer deadlines are short; federal court is 21 days. Missing the deadline can mean a default judgment.

Call 713-955-4045 — we will talk you through what to do today.

A clear plan, not just a fight

Most business disputes are better resolved than litigated — and some genuinely must be litigated. Knowing which is which, and what a realistic path actually costs, is the most useful judgment a litigator brings.

Prasla Law Firm represents Texas business owners, closely held companies, and investors in commercial disputes. As a firm built around the whole legal life of a business, we see a dispute in context — the contract behind it, the partnership that signed it, the company that has to keep running while it plays out. Every matter gets an honest assessment up front: the strengths, the weaknesses, the likely cost, and the realistic range of outcomes. You will hear the bad news as clearly as the good.

Is this you?

• You were served with a lawsuit and need to respond
• A vendor or customer has not paid and you are considering filing suit
• A business partner is acting in bad faith — diverting money, making decisions without you, pushing you out
• A non-compete or non-solicitation needs to be enforced, or defended against
• A commercial lease dispute is escalating
• A demand letter arrived and you need to respond
• You won a judgment and now need to collect on it

How we help

Contract disputes — breach-of-contract claims and defense; commercial lease disputes; service and vendor contract disputes; non-compete and non-solicitation enforcement; indemnification and warranty disputes.

LLC, partnership, and owner disputes — member and partner removal; buy-sell and valuation disputes; fiduciary-duty claims; deadlock and dissolution; demands for accounting and books-and-records; forced buyouts.

Pre-lawsuit work — demand letters and responses; pre-suit investigation and evidence preservation; negotiated resolutions before litigation begins.

After judgment — collection on Texas judgments; abstracts of judgment, turnover orders, writs of execution; fraudulent-transfer claims; cross-state enforcement.

We appear in Texas state district courts across Harris, Fort Bend, and surrounding counties; the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas; the Texas Courts of Appeals; and in commercial arbitration.

What it costs

Most business litigation is billed hourly under a written engagement letter with an agreed scope and retainer. For defined-scope work — demand letters, pre-suit evaluation, judgment enforcement — we can sometimes quote a flat fee. Select plaintiff-side matters with strong liability and quantifiable damages may be handled on a contingency or hybrid basis. Fees are discussed clearly, in writing, before any work begins.
