By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys Most people think the holiday season is the worst time to consider divorce.

After all, the contract spells out what you can and cannot do with a brand’s products or services. But here’s the truth: an influencer agreement alone does not protect your brand identity. If you want to build a lasting presence and keep control over your name, logo, or catchphrases, you need trademark protection. This post explains why trademarks matter for

By Davis Law Group Trial Attorneys Parenting after separation is rarely simple. Add different communication styles, unresolved emotions, or a history of conflict, and co-parenting can feel less like cooperation and more like crisis management. But structure and planning can reduce a lot of that tension. “Custody without chaos” doesn’t mean both parents see everything the same way. It means the children don’t have to absorb the conflict.
