JL Salazar Law Firm, an intellectual property firm in Houston, seeks up to $1 million in damages from former member Valerie Friedrich, alleging she began working for a new firm while still employed by JL Salazar and attempted to shift clients to one or more new firms.
JL Salazar alleged in a petition filed on April 10 in the 157th District Court in Harris County that Friedrich, while still employed at the firm, moved client files to her own private practice. It alleged that a paralegal working with her began using personal email accounts to handle firm patent matters, which deprived the firm of access to client information. The firm also alleged that Friedrich denied she was joining another firm shortly before she notified the firm on Feb. 28 that she was terminating her status as a member of the firm as of March 1.
