Dallas, TX – April 24, 2025 — The Law Spot, a boutique business and intellectual property law firm based in Dallas, Texas, is dedicated to helping business owners, startups, and creatives protect what they’ve built—without the intimidating legalese or sky-high hourly rates. Founded by attorney Melissa H. Gray, The Law Spot has earned a reputation as a reliable legal partner for entrepreneurs who want to turn ideas into assets and protect their brands with greater confidence.
From entity formation and contract drafting to trademark protection and general counsel services, The Law Spot aims to meet the needs of today’s fast-paced, innovation-driven market. Its mission is to simplify the legal process while delivering tailored, strategic advice that can contribute to long-term business growth.
Melissa Gray brings over a decade of legal expertise to the table. With a background that includes private practice and in-house counsel roles—most notably serving as General Counsel for a billion-dollar company—Gray understands both the letter of the law and the realities of running a business. Her practice is grounded in the belief that legal services can be as agile and dynamic as the businesses they support.
The Law Spot’s services are built around transparency and accessibility. Clients often benefit from clear flat-fee pricing for many services, like contract reviews and trademark filings, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives. The firm also provides ongoing counsel packages for businesses that need regular legal support without hiring a full-time in-house attorney.
