About Leavitt & Eldredge Law Firm, Texas Intellectual Property Attorneys

The story of an Arlington intellectual property firm built in 2008 to protect ideas faster, for less, with attorneys who stay within reach.

The Leavitt and Eldredge Law Firm has protected ideas, brands, and businesses since 2008. Founded by patent attorney Richard Eldredge and joined by partner Brandon Leavitt, the Arlington firm serves clients across Texas, from Fortune 500 companies to student inventors, with faster turnaround times, flat fees, and attorneys who stay reachable.

Our story began in 2007, when Richard Eldredge was working as a professional engineer and patent attorney and the housing crisis hit. It caused him to rethink the traditional way of doing business concerning his clients, and in 2008 Richard formed his own law practice with that fresh thinking. He built his law firm on the foundation of meeting the needs of his clients in a more efficient way.

At the same time, Brandon Leavitt, a published biochemist, entered into law school. When he graduated from law school, he took on several jobs at a time. During this time, he also learned how to meet his clients needs in an efficient and economical manner.

It was in 2014 that Richard and Brandon met. After meeting, they began to work together on projects. The clients responded well to their combined backgrounds, education, and determination. That is a bit of our history.

In the present day, Brandon became a partner in 2019. The Leavitt Eldredge Law Firm has helped thousands to protect their ideas, brands, and businesses. The firm represents clients from every economic background. Our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to student projects. This has allowed us to cross into almost every industry.

We have stayed true to the foundation upon which this law firm is built. For the client, this means fast turnaround times and lower fees. Our different approach means our attorneys are more available. We can also arrange differing payment methods.

Though Richard started the firm and Brandon has been added as a partner, there are others that are valuable in the growth of this law firm. Come meet our team.
