BRUCE PACKARD |
 |
| |
Bruce K. Packard is, first and foremost, a trial attorney. He has practiced continuously in Dallas, Texas with a concentration in accounting, intellectual property and contract litigation. He has handled disputes in 27 different states and three other countries. His knowledge base is exceptionally broad because he has been a partner in a defense-oriented firm, a plaintiff-oriented firm, and corporate counsel for the one of the world’s largest numismatic investment companies. Mr. Packard is recognized for his knowledge and implementation of strategic planning and settlement tactics. Because of his expertise, he often is engaged for the purpose of risk reduction and avoidance, long before a dispute actually occurs. For example, at least twenty percent of his practice involves complex contract negotiation and drafting. |
