A twenty-one-year Texas civil litigation and brand-protection practice in the Hill Country, anchored by a single phone number and an experienced attorney who reads your file from intake to closing.
There is a paradox at the center of small-firm legal practice in Texas. The state bar directory lists tens of thousands of attorneys. The Lexis and Westlaw legal directories list thousands of firms across the four federal districts. But the number of attorneys who actually handle a federal civil case — from intake through trial — without handing it off to a junior associate or rotating it through a billing cycle is much smaller. Dennis C. Postiglione, who has been practicing for twenty-one years and operates a solo civil-litigation and brand-protection practice in Boerne, Texas, is one of them.
Twenty-One Years of Civil Litigation and Brand-Protection Work
Postiglione Law, PLLC handles personal injury, civil litigation, contract disputes, and image and brand protection work — that last category being the practice area most directly relevant to trademark and unfair-competition matters. Twenty-one years of practice covers the range: pre-suit demand letters, contested motion practice, jury trials, settlement negotiations, and the post-judgment work most attorneys never describe to clients in detail because it is unglamorous.
What distinguishes a one-attorney firm from a leveraged-associate firm is consequence-of-error attribution. When the case is solo, the file is read by the attorney from intake through closing argument. The deposition is taken by the attorney who argued the motion. The cross-examination is built by the same person who will deliver it. Nothing falls between desks because there is only one desk.
Solo practice removes the middle layer. The attorney who reads the file at intake is the same one arguing the motion.
Federal Bar and the Texas Hill Country
Boerne, Texas — pronounced “Bernie” by locals, after the German writer Ludwig Börne — sits about thirty miles northwest of San Antonio in the Texas Hill Country. The geography matters because Postiglione’s practice handles civil litigation, contract disputes, and image and brand protection matters for clients across Texas. The Hill Country base is the lifestyle choice; the practice itself reaches into San Antonio, Austin, and Houston as the work demands.
The firm’s representative work has included business clients across Texas and the Southwest in contract disputes, breach-of-warranty cases, fraud and misrepresentation matters, and brand-protection work that includes both pre-litigation enforcement and federal court filings when enforcement requires it.
Why Solo Practice Survives in Federal Civil Litigation
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not distinguish between solo attorneys and global firms. The same deadlines apply, the same evidentiary standards apply, the same procedural rigor is required. What changes is the attention each filing receives. In a leveraged-firm model, an associate drafts, a senior associate revises, a partner reviews, and a billing rate reflects each layer. In a solo model, the partner drafts, the partner revises, and the partner files. The economics for clients are equally direct.
For Texas businesses facing civil litigation — contract disputes, fraud claims, brand-protection matters, breach-of-fiduciary-duty actions — and weighing whether to hire a multi-attorney firm or a senior solo with two decades of trial experience, the calculus is rarely about absolute capacity. It is about who is going to read your file.
