Case 5:20-cv-00571-OLG Document 85-1 Filed 04/12/22 Page 2 of 124

3. Defendant John Saenz (“Defendant” or “Saenz”) retained Dykema to represent 

him in the above-styled proceeding filed by Plaintiffs Jonathan Villareal (“Villareal”) and 

ZroBlack, LLC (“ZroBlack”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”). I am lead counsel, and an attorney of 

record, for Saenz. 

4. I am personally familiar with the issues and allegations raised in this case, and 

with the records of Dykema as they relate to services performed on behalf of Saenz in this 

proceeding. I have directed and supervised the performance of such services and have reviewed 

and familiarized myself with Dykema’s billing records in this case, including the detailed 

explanation of charges and all services performed. 

5. This case was initiated when Plaintiffs filed their Original Complaint (the 

“Original Complaint”) and an Application for Seizure, Temporary Restraining Order, 

Preliminary Injunction, and Permanent Injunctive Relief (the “Original Application”) on May 8, 

2020. The Original Complaint was thirty-six (36) pages long and asserted eight claims against 

Saenz. The Original Application was forty-five (45) pages long and included twenty-seven (27) 

separate exhibits. Saenz filed a Motion to Dismiss on June 23, 2020, which was fully briefed by 

both Plaintiffs and Saenz. 

6. Before Saenz’s Motion to Dismiss was decided, the case was referred to United 

States Magistrate Judge Richard B. Farrer for disposition of all pretrial matters. Plaintiffs then 

sought leave to file an amended complaint and application under seal, which Saenz opposed. 

Ultimately, Plaintiffs’ motion for leave was granted, and Plaintiffs filed their First Amended 

Verified Complaint (the “First Amended Verified Complaint”) and First Amended Application 

for Seizure, Temporary Restraining Order, Preliminary Injunction, and Permanent Injunctive 

Relief (the “First Amended Application”) on January 15, 2021. 

Case 5:20-cv-00571-OLG Document 85-1 Filed 04/12/22 Page 3 of 124

7. The First Amended Verified Complaint is fifty-six (56) pages long and includes 

nine claims against Saenz: (1) misappropriation of trade secrets; (2) computer fraud and abuse; 

(3) violation of the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act; (4) breach of contract; (5) 

breach of fiduciary duties; (6) tortious interference with prospective relations; (7) conversion; (8) 

violation of the Texas Theft Liability Act; and (9) fraud. The First Amended Application is sixty 

(60) pages long and includes 41 separate exhibits. Saenz filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ 

First Amended Verified Complaint and First Amended Application on February 4, 2021. On 

May 18, 2021, Judge Farrer signed a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 59) regarding 

Saenz’s Motion to Dismiss. The Court adopted the Report and Recommendation in full in the 

Court’s August 4, 2021 Order (ECF No. 67). In pertinent part, the Order granted in part and 

denied in part Saenz’s Motion to Dismiss. “Only Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendant Saenz for 

breach of fiduciary duty and for violations of the CFAA and ACPA – insofar as these claims are 

premised on Saenz’s alleged conduct after the parties executed the Release” – survived the 

Motion to Dismiss. 

8. On June 25, 2021, the Court granted the Motion to Withdraw by former counsel 

for Plaintiffs. See ECF No. 62. The Court also advised that ZroBlack could “only be represented 

by licensed counsel” and “needs to obtain counsel and have them enter an appearance on the 

docket within 30 days . . . in order to avoid dismissal of its claims.” Id. Plaintiffs subsequently 

sought additional time to obtain counsel (ECF No. 66), which Saenz did not oppose. On August 

6, 2021, the Court entered a Text Order granting Plaintiffs’ Motion for Extension of Time as 

unopposed. The Text Order provided that “Plaintiff is granted an extension and shall have up to 

and including September 20, 2021 to obtain a new attorney” and that “ZroBlack must have 

counsel enter an appearance on the docket in order to avoid dismissal of its claims.”

9. On August 18, 2021, Saenz filed his Original Answer to Plaintiffs’ First Amended 

Verified Complaint and Original Counterclaim Against Villareal and ZroBlack (the “Original 

Answer and Original Counterclaim”) (ECF No. 69), denying the claims asserted by Plaintiffs and 

asserting counterclaims for breach of contract and fraudulent inducement. Id. at 54-57. Plaintiffs 

failed to file answers to the counterclaims. 

10. On November 18, 2021, following ZroBlack’s failure to obtain new counsel, 

Judge Farrer signed another Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 74) recommending that “all 

claims asserted by ZroBlack against the remaining Defendant John Saenz be DISMISSED” for 

failure to comply with the Court’s order and reminders. Judge Farrer also ordered that Saenz 

address, within 21 days, “whether and to what extent Plaintiff Jonathan Villareal has any 

remaining individual claims in this action.” ECF No. 74 at 1. On December 9, 2021, this Court 

adopted the Report and Recommendation in full (ECF No. 77) and ordered that all of ZroBlack’s 

claims against Saenz be dismissed with prejudice. 

11. On December 9, 2021, Saenz filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings or, in 

the Alternative, Motion to Dismiss the Claims Asserted by Jonathan Villareal, Individually, 

requesting that the Court clarify the pending claims and either: (1) enter a judgment on the 

pleadings against Villareal based on the fact that Villareal has no remaining claims in his 

individual capacity, or (2) dismiss, with prejudice, any claims asserted by Villareal in his 

individual capacity. ECF No. 76 at 3. 

12. On March 4, 2022, Judge Farrer signed a Report and Recommendation (ECF No. 

78) recommending that the Court grant the Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings and 

“DISMISS all individually held claims asserted by Plaintiff Jonathan Villareal against Defendant 

John Saenz, to the extent any such claims remain at issue.” ECF No. 78 at 1. Judge Farrer also 

Case 5:20-cv-00571-OLG Document 85-1 Filed 04/12/22 Page 5 of 124
5 

ordered Saenz to address, within 21 days, “whether and to what extent he desires to pursue his 

counterclaims against Villareal and ZroBlack, LLC.” Id. 

13. The Court adopted the Report in full in the Court’s March 25, 2022 Order (the 

“Order”) (ECF No. 80). The Order dismissed all claims asserted by Villareal against Saenz, to 

the extent any remaining claims exist. ECF No. 80 at 2. That same day, Saenz filed a Motion to 

Dismiss Counterclaims Without Prejudice and to Enter Judgment (ECF No. 81) seeking: (1) 

dismissal, without prejudice, of Saenz’s counterclaims asserted against Plaintiffs; and (2) entry 

of a judgment by the Court confirming: (a) dismissal of all of Plaintiffs’ claims against Saenz 

with prejudice, and (b) dismissal of Saenz’s counterclaims without prejudice. 

14. On March 30, 2022, the Court entered a Final Judgment granting Saenz’s Motion 

to Dismiss Counterclaims Without Prejudice and to Enter Judgment and ordering, in pertinent 

part, that: (a) all claims and causes of action against Saenz by Plaintiffs are dismissed with 

prejudice; and (b) Saenz’s counterclaims asserted against Plaintiffs are dismissed without 

prejudice (ECF No. 83). 

15. This affidavit is submitted to describe the attorneys’ fees incurred by Saenz from 

June 12, 2020 through April 12, 2022 and to outline the amount of attorneys’ fees for which 

Saenz seeks recovery from Plaintiffs. As demonstrated in detail below, Saenz does not seek 

recovery of all attorneys’ fees incurred in this case. Rather, as discussed further herein, Saenz has 

applied a 50% reduction for fees incurred in connection with Saenz’s Original Answer and 

Original Counterclaim. In several instances, counsel for Saenz also reduced or removed certain 

fees that Saenz otherwise would have incurred where indicated on the attached invoices. 

Additionally, Saenz is not seeking recovery of any costs incurred throughout this litigation. 

Case 5:20-cv-00571-OLG Document 85-1 Filed 04/12/22 Page 6 of 124

16. With respect to Plaintiffs’ claims for (1) misappropriation of trade secrets; (2) 

computer fraud and abuse; (3) violation of the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act; (4) 

breach of contract; (5) breach of fiduciary duties; (6) tortious interference with prospective 

relations; (7) conversion; (8) violation of the Texas Theft Liability Act; and (9) fraud against 

Saenz, the legal services performed on behalf of Saenz included, but were not limited, to the 

following items, all of which were reasonable and necessary to the successful defense of the 

case: 

(a) Research related to Plaintiffs’ allegations and claims. 

(b) Research related to Saenz’s defenses. 

(c) Extensive review of key documents relating to Plaintiffs’ claims and 

supporting Saenz’s defenses, including the Release. 

(d) Preparation and supplementation of pleadings, motions, and responses and 

replies to motions. 

(e) Briefing on Saenz’s motions to dismiss Plaintiffs’ claims. 

(f) Briefing on Villareal’s Motion for Sanctions. 

(g) Strategizing and coordination with Mr. Saenz and expert(s). 

(h) Negotiations with Plaintiffs and/or Plaintiffs’ former counsel. 

(i) Attendance at hearings. 

(j) Briefing on Saenz’s request for attorneys’ fees. 

17. I am familiar with the reasonable attorneys’ fees customarily charged by attorneys 

in Bexar County, Texas for suits involving the types of claims asserted in this matter, and also 

for services similar to those performed in this case. I am aware of the work performed by 

Dykema in this case and the fees charged by Dykema in connection with that work. 

Case 5:20-cv-00571-OLG Document 85-1 Filed 04/12/22 Page 7 of 124

18. Dykema actually expended a total of 410.50 hours of attorney and professional 

time through December 13, 2021, on the topics stated in the attachment at Exhibit “A”, resulting 

in a total charge of $142,744.50 for professional services rendered in this matter during that time. 

This amount represents those fees billed to Saenz through December 13, 2021, less any costs 

incurred. Saenz has also incurred $23,056.50 in fees for work in progress, or “WIP,” for March 

4 through April 12, 2022. See Exhibit “A.” This amount will be billed in the ordinary course of 

Dykema’s business, and Saenz is responsible for paying this amount to Dykema. Thus, Saenz 

has incurred a total of $165,801.00 in attorneys’ fees from June 12, 2020 through April 12, 2022. 

19. The records attached to this affidavit at Exhibits “A” and “B” are true and correct 

copies of Dykema’s business records and accurately reflect the amount of attorneys’ fees for 

which Saenz is responsible in this case. The records are kept by Dykema in the regular course of 

business, and it was the regular practice and course of business of Dykema for an employee or 

representative with knowledge of the act, event, condition, opinion, or diagnosis recorded to 

make, transmit or transcribe the information to be included in such records. The records were 

made at or near the time of the events or matters recorded or reasonably soon thereafter. The 

records are an exact duplicate of the originals. 

20. The chart below sets forth the professionals whose time was billed to this matter 

since June 12, 2020, and the billing rate for each attorney or paralegal.

21. The hours expended in this matter and the rates charged were and are reasonable 

and necessary. In particular, the attorneys’ fees were billed at or below customary rates. Rates 

for attorneys varied over the course of this litigation. My own rate for this case is currently 

$375.00 per hour, which is significantly lower than my current regular rate. Other attorneys on 

this matter were also billed at rates lower than their regular rates. Fees for other attorneys vary 

between $325.00 and $375.00 per hour depending on experience level as well as the agreed rate 

with Saenz at the applicable time. Fees for paralegals vary between $160.00 and $265.00 per 

hour depending on experience level and the agreed rate with Saenz at the applicable time. The 

fees charged to Saenz reflect work and services actually performed in this case. These rates are 

reasonable in light of the combined 98.5 years of experience of the professionals involved and 

the average attorney and paralegal billing rates generally prevailing in San Antonio, Texas. As 

further discussed herein, these rates and fees are further reasonable and necessary in light of the 

novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, the complex, high-stakes commercial nature of 

2

 Mr. Westbrook was a summer associate and appears on invoice number 3403782. Saenz was 

not charged for his work, and Saenz does not seek recovery for such work.

9 

this litigation, as well as in light of Saenz’s success in prevailing on Plaintiffs’ claims and 

obtaining a Final Judgment in his favor as to liability. 

22. The hours spent and fees incurred in prevailing on Plaintiffs’ claims were also 

reasonable and necessary, and were significant in amount, for several other reasons. First, Saenz 

expended a significant amount of time preparing two separate Motions to Dismiss in this case in 

response to hundreds of pages of pleadings and exhibits. Initially, Plaintiffs’ Original Complaint 

and the Original Application were both in excess of thirty-five (35) pages. The Original 

Complaint contained eight causes of action against Saenz, which required extensive analysis and 

research related to Saenz’s defenses. After Saenz filed the Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Original 

Complaint and Original Application, Plaintiffs sought leave to file an amended complaint and 

application under seal. Ultimately, the Court granted the motion for leave. Plaintiffs’ First 

Amended Verified Complaint and First Amended Application are even lengthier than the initial 

pleadings. The First Amended Verified Complaint is fifty-six (56) pages long and includes nine 

claims against Saenz, while the First Amended Application is sixty (60) pages long and includes 

41 separate exhibits. Saenz then expended significant time and resources preparing the Motion 

to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ First Amended Verified Complaint and Application for Seizure, 

Temporary Restraining Order, Preliminary Injunction, and Permanent Injunctive Relief. Saenz 

ultimately prevailed, in large part, on the Motion to Dismiss. 

23. Second, Plaintiff Villareal filed a Motion for Sanctions Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 

11. The Motion for Sanctions was sixteen (16) pages long with nine (9) separate exhibits. 

Responding to the Motion for Sanctions required considerable time and resources, as well as a 

careful analysis of Villareal’s accusations. Saenz ultimately prevailed on the Motion for 

Sanctions. 

Case 5:20-cv-00571-OLG Document 85-1 Filed 04/12/22 Page 10 of 124
10 

24. Third, counsel for Saenz spent a considerable amount of time and resources 

preparing and briefing Saenz’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings or, in the Alternative, 

Motion to Dismiss the Claims Asserted by Jonathan Villareal, Individually, as well as Saenz’s 

motion for entry of judgment in this case, Saenz ultimately prevailed on both motions. Finally, 

Saenz has incurred fees in the preparation of his Motion to Recover Attorneys’ Fees. 

25. In summary, Saenz has incurred a total of $165,801.00 in attorneys’ fees from 

June 12, 2020 through April 12, 2022 in connection with successfully defending against 

Plaintiffs’ claims and allegations in this case. True and correct copies of the attorneys’ fee bills 

for the tasks and amounts listed above, with attorney-client privileged information and work 

product information redacted, are attached hereto as Exhibit A. However, as outlined in detail 

below, Saenz does not seek recovery of the entire amount of fees incurred. Although Saenz 

contends that the circumstances of this case do not require Saenz to segregate his attorneys’ fees, 

Saenz has included a 50% reduction for time spent working on the Original Answer and Original 

Counterclaim. Saenz has also excluded all costs incurred during this litigation. 

26. In particular, Saenz voluntarily dismissed his Original Counterclaim without 

prejudice on March 25, 2022 (ECF No. 81).3 Saenz recognizes that he was not the prevailing 

party on the Original Counterclaim because there is no prevailing party at this time. As such, 

Saenz is not seeking to recover the fees incurred for drafting the Original Counterclaim. Saenz 

incurred a total of $8,390.00 in connection with drafting the Original Answer and Original 

Counterclaim. After applying a 50% reduction to twelve (12) time entries that involved billing 

for the Original Answer and/or the Original Counterclaim, Saenz is only seeking $4,195.00 of 

3

 However, Saenz expressly reserved all of his rights to later assert any claims, including the 

counterclaims, against Villareal or ZroBlack in a Texas state district court or another court of 

competent jurisdiction. ECF No. 81 at 7. 

Case 5:20-cv-00571-OLG Document 85-1 Filed 04/12/22 Page 11 of 124
11 

the total amount of fees incurred in connection with the Original Answer and Original 

Counterclaim. This results in a reduction of $4,195.00 from the total amount of fees incurred. 

Each of the 12 time entries that were subject to the 50% reduction are attached hereto as Exhibit 

B.

27. After subtracting 50% of the fees incurred in connection with preparing the 

Original Answer and Original Counterclaim, the total amount of fees is $161,606.00

($165,801.00 - $4,195.00 = $161,606.00). Saenz seeks recovery of this amount from Plaintiffs. 

28. In my opinion, the sum of at least $161,606.00 is: (A) a reasonable amount of 

attorneys’ fees expended in this case for the time period of June 12, 2020 to April 12, 2022 and 

(B) within the range of usual and customary fees charged in Bexar County, Texas, considering 

and/or given: (i) the time required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved, and the 

skill requisite to perform the legal service properly; (ii) the likelihood that the acceptance of this 

engagement will preclude other employment by the lawyer; (iii) the fees customarily charged in 

the locality for similar legal services; (iv) the amount involved and results obtained in the 

controversy; (v) the time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances; (vi) the 

nature and length of the professional relationship with the client; and (vi) the experience, 

reputation and ability of the lawyers performing the service. 

29. In particular, the hundreds of pages of pleadings and exhibits, the number of 

claims asserted against Saenz, and the creative briefing by Plaintiffs all demanded a substantial 

amount of time to evaluate, address, and refute the novel and sometimes difficult issues raised by 

Plaintiffs in this matter. Additionally, given that: (1) counsel for Saenz maintains a busy docket, 

(2) counsel for Saenz charges for its legal services by the hour, and (3) counsel for Saenz 

expended a significant number of hours on this matter over almost two years, this matter 

Case 5:20-cv-00571-OLG Document 85-1 Filed 04/12/22 Page 12 of 124
12 

certainly limited and precluded counsel for Saenz from taking on other matters. Further, the fees 

charged by Dykema in this case were significantly lower than the rates that the same Dykema 

professionals customarily charge in Bexar County for similar legal services. Additionally, the 

amount in controversy in this matter was significant, as Plaintiffs sought to recover from Saenz 

both: (1) $740,000, and (2) the “loss of several multi-million dollar contracts.” See First 

Amended Verified Complaint at ¶¶ 5, 183. Further, Saenz prevailed in full on all claims and 

allegations asserted by Plaintiffs by obtaining a dismissal with prejudice of all of Plaintiffs’ 

claims in this matter. Additionally, due to the proposed injunctive relief and seizure that 

Plaintiffs sought in this matter, counsel for Saenz faced significant time limitations and was 

required to quickly evaluate and brief key legal issues that ultimately resulted in Saenz prevailing 

in this matter. Likewise, in addition to the multitude of significant briefing that this matter 

required, this case spanned nearly two years and resulted in a lengthy professional relationship 

between Dykema and Saenz. Finally, Saenz’s counsel has significant experience and requisite 

ability in performing services on similar matters in Bexar County, including in federal court, in 

light of the fact that the attorneys and paralegals working on this matter are members of a wellestablished business litigation firm located in Bexar County and have 98.5 years of combined 

experience practicing in Bexar County. 

30. Thus, given the nature and complexity of this case, the amount in controversy, the 

amount of work performed, and the success of counsel’s efforts, among other factors, an award 

of Saenz’s attorneys’ fees incurred from June 12, 2020 through April 12, 2022 in the amount of 

$161,606.00, is reasonable, necessary, equitable and just under the circumstances. 

31. Saenz is not seeking recovery of any costs incurred throughout this litigation. 

32. Further, affiant sayeth not.
