Hear from our happy clients

Had a very pleasant experience dealing with this firm. Mr Roquemore is very personable and does take the time to listen to your concerns. I’m satisfied how he handled my issue and the outcome. I was able to successfully recover my earnest money with his help. Would surely recommend him and use this firm again in the future.

My consultation with Mr. Roquemore was invaluable for the advice given on the next step or actions that could be taken in regards to my matter even though it was not something his firm would be able to pursue. This was not due to their capability, but their was a much more direct path to results. This was refreshing. In this day and age someone providing guidance even though it would not benefit them financially is rare.

I highly recommend Attorney Mr. Kelvin for his outstanding work in drafting and preparing our sales agreement. His attention to detail and ability to clearly communicate complex legal terms made the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a skilled attorney for legal documents, Mr. Kelvin is an excellent choice. Thank you for your exceptional service!

The team was professional, easy to talk to, and really knew their stuff. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made the whole process a lot less stressful. If you’re looking for a solid business lawyer in Dallas, I’d definitely recommend them.

Kelvin genuinely took the time to listen and provide valuable insights. He went above and beyond to help me prepare for an upcoming deposition. His advice was sharp, practical, and incredibly helpful, making me feel much more confident about the process.

Doug, Kelvin, and Mary were amazing in helping me secure a judgement and get my money back!! Initially, I was scared of the whole process as I’ve never went through a lawsuit before. They explained my options and made the process far less intimidating. There was virtually zero stress on my end as they handled my lawsuit while I was later deployed. Even while on the other side of the world, they kept open communication and were quick to respond when I had questions. My particular situation was related to real estate. Because a judgement was put in place, the person I sued could not sell homes until the judgment was paid to me. Thank you for all of your help!

When should you engage a business litigation lawyer?

Engage a business litigation lawyer when a dispute begins to threaten your money, decision-making authority, or reputation. Typical triggers include receiving a demand letter, being sued, getting an arbitration notice, being locked out of bank or software accounts by a partner, discovering misuse of company funds, seeing customers solicited away, or facing missed payments that jeopardize operations. Contact counsel if you believe a court order is necessary to stop ongoing harm, if important documents must be preserved, or if contract provisions on arbitration, venue, or fee-shifting will affect how you proceed. Early intervention preserves leverage, controls cost, and gives you clear tactical choices before issues escalate.

What kinds of damages can you recover in a business lawsuit?

You can typically pursue direct damages for actual out-of-pocket losses and consequential damages for harms that were reasonably foreseeable. If you can prove them with reasonable certainty, lost profits may be recoverable; if not, reliance damages can reimburse reasonable expenses incurred because of the transaction.

Courts can also award restitution or disgorgement to prevent unjust enrichment, and an enforceable liquidated-damages clause may fix the remedy for specified breaches. Non-monetary relief — temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, or specific performance — can halt ongoing harm or compel a party to perform. Attorneys’ fees and court costs may be recoverable under contract or statute, and interest can be added before and after judgment. In particularly egregious cases, exemplary or punitive damages may be available within statutory limits.

Why choose Roquemore Skiersi as your business litigation counsel?

You deserve lawyers who operate like members of your leadership team, not just stand-up trial counsel. At Roquemore Skiersi, we advise through the entire lifecycle of a dispute — from the first sign of trouble through settlement, arbitration, or final judgment. We simplify legal complexity into clear choices that map directly to your business goals, and we keep you prepared for settlement or trial without losing operational momentum.

Roquemore Skiersi’s methodical approach to resolving business disputes

We treat litigation as a business problem that should be managed with discipline and clarity. Our immediate objectives are to stabilize operations, preserve cash, and develop leverage at every step so your company can continue to operate while the dispute is resolved.

Litigation Planning:

We start by reviewing governing documents, building a timeline, and identifying the critical evidence. We spot dispositive deadlines, evaluate dispute-resolution clauses that affect venue and fees, and align legal choices with your commercial priorities so every action advances a concrete business objective.

Demand Letters:

With the facts organized, we prepare a precise demand letter that cites the relevant contract provisions and statutes, outlines the breaches at issue, and proposes practical remedies such as staged payments or return of property. The letter sets expectations and signals readiness to litigate if necessary.

Evidence Preservation and Early Court Relief:

Once the dispute is understood, we move quickly to preserve evidence. When money, property, or trade secrets are at immediate risk, we seek temporary restraining orders or injunctive relief to stop ongoing harm and secure the integrity of the claim.

Negotiation or Mediation:

When settlement is possible, we negotiate directly or use mediation to explore confidential resolutions. Throughout talks, we continue building the record so leverage remains intact if discussions fail.

Focused Litigation:

If litigation is unavoidable, we narrow the issues through targeted motions and limit discovery to the documents and witnesses that matter, shortening timelines and controlling costs.

Trial and Judgment Enforcement:

At trial, we present a clear business story tying facts to measurable harm. After a favorable result, we move promptly to enforce the judgment so your company can recover and move forward.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

For a short initial consultation, be prepared to explain the timeline of events, the amount at issue, and what you hope to achieve.

In Texas, many breach of contract claims must be filed within four years. Fraud and many debt-related claims also commonly have four-year windows, while claims involving injury to person or property often have shorter limits. Specific claims may vary, so act promptly to preserve your rights.

Costs vary with complexity, the volume of evidence, the number of witnesses, and case duration. Simple matters may be resolved for a few thousand dollars; complex, extended litigation can reach tens or hundreds of thousands. Costs typically include attorney fees, filing fees, experts, and expenses for document review and depositions.

You may be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees if your contract so provides or a statute authorizes fee-shifting. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code section 38.001 provides a mechanism for recovery of reasonable fees in certain contract claims.
