Excellent support for a small organization in need

Gordon and his team were a godsend for our organization. He was professional yet approachable, provided clear guidance throughout our engagement, understood and reflected our organization's needs and values in our negotiations, and spoke with directness and honesty when needed. And he was exceptional...ly patient. We were engaged in an unnecessarily lengthy back-and-forth with another organization, and Gordon didn't flinch in his support for us. Additionally, he undertook self-directed research that bolstered our case and made it easier for us to state our position and hold it with confidence. When hiring anyone for professional services, one of the things you hope for most is to find someone honest and trustworthy. Gordon is that. As a small organization with very limited funds, it meant a lot to us to have him on our side, leading us to a resolution we were extremely happy with. Five stars across the board.

Highly Recommended

Lawrence Stanley works in Gordon Troy's office as a paralegal. Lawrence with Gordon have been a tremendous and kindly help to our organization as we were faced with unexpected copyright issues. They are at the top of my list as the go-to people to work with.

I highly recommend Gordon Troy for trademark set-ups... he's a pleasure to work with!

I highly recommend Gordon Troy to anyone looking for a trademark. Gordon helped me acquire my trademark (technically it is a service mark) back in 2008. He transferred it when we changed our corporate structure. He renewed it for us in 2018, and now has helped to transfer it to our son who has taken ...over our marriage counseling retreat program, Marriage Quest. He was a pleasure to work with.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me with your trademark matters over all these years. It's been a real pleasure working with you since 2008. I'm thrilled I could help with the recent transfer of Marriage Quest to your son - what an exciting next chapter for your marriage counseling retreat program.

One of the best trademark attorneys in the country

We worked together on many projects over the years. I believe that Mr. Gordon Troy is one of the best trademark attorneys in the country. He is knowledgeable and takes the time to explain to you in clear, simple terms even the more difficult concepts and strategies.

Highly professional, knowledgeable and result oriented

Highly professional and knowledgeable, yet maintains a low profile. Consistently delivering excellent results so far. An ideal balance of technical expertise and understated efficiency. An ideal service.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
