About Lloyd & Mousilli
Lloyd & Mousilli is an intellectual property and business law firm at 11807 Westheimer Rd #550 in Houston, Texas, with a practice oriented toward startups and scaling companies. Its service list covers patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, brand protection, corporate formation and contracts, litigation, and general counsel, along with a subscriptions option and published resources such as an invention disclosure review, a trademark filing guide, and introductory material on incorporation, startup financing, board formation, and employment. Trademark work runs the deepest: registration, prosecution, strategy, international clearance and registration, global maintenance and enforcement, licensing, oppositions, and cancellations, with patents, IP litigation, and copyright also represented among the firm’s listed offerings.
The firm lists locations across Austin, Columbus, Dallas, Damascus, Houston, Istanbul, Kyiv, Medellin, and San Francisco, and its case studies describe work for Reefertilizer, FlorkofCows, Mosqitter, Tavus, and Orqa. Public materials advertise a free consultation, and a 15-minute introductory call is referenced in visitor feedback. Reviewers name managing partner Feras Mousilli, attorney Lema Barazi, and operations and paralegal staff including Megan Matthees, Allie, Mac, Marlene, and Charlotte as points of contact.
Across 62 reviews and a 4.5 rating, the strongest recurring theme is fit for early-stage founders. Clients describe help with incorporation and entity structuring, advisor agreements, investor relations, contract and stock document review, trademark search and filing, and copyright disputes, often noting that the firm grasped a company’s vision before recommending a structure. Speed is cited repeatedly, as is a transparent fee structure that reviewers contrast favorably with other firms they interviewed. The intake and operations side draws frequent mention for making onboarding simple and coordinating multiple practice teams on a single matter.
The record is not uniformly positive. A cluster of one-star accounts describes unanswered phone calls and emails, charges that clients say exceeded what was agreed, a paid Canadian trademark application that a client later found had been abandoned, and a matter the firm says was transferred to another firm. Some negative reviews also carry owner responses disputing that the reviewer was ever a client.
For founders comparing counsel, the pattern suggests a firm that performs well when communication is tight and scope is defined, and less well when a matter stalls or spans multiple jurisdictions.
