James Michael Smedley

James and his team have been extremely helpful, responsive, and knowledgable in helping me file numerous trademarks for a brand that I'm building from scratch. I'm very happy with the peace of mind a trademark offers, and even happier at how easy James and his team have made it for me to file a hand...ful of applications! I am going to be a returning customer when it's time to file my patents!

If you are looking for help with intellectual property or corporate transactions James and the Simga Law Group should be on the top of your list. Honest, direct, and QUICK. One of our clients wanted us to sign an IP agreement and James made sure it was updated to reflect everyone's best interest and ...helped me better understand a few considerations that we were not aware of. FIVE STARS!

I have worked with James and his team since 2013 and they have never let me down. I knew James was the right person when it came to my software related intellectual property when I learned that he has a background in software and he was able to grasp many of my software related innovations quickly. ...I recently sold a few of my patents to an IP holding company and I credit the successful sale to the quality work James has done for me.

Our company started researching and interviewing patent attorneys in 2011, and James Smedley was one of our candidates. When we interviewed James, his knowledge and confidence set our expectations so high that we had to hire him simply to see if what he was saying was true. One patent, two company ac...quisitions, and many trademarks, software contracts, operating agreements, employee agreements, and IP contracts later, he has delivered and even exceeded expectations. James is the most trusted advisor on our team.

I usually stick to in-state attorneys for most of my legal matters, but the one time (3yrs ago) when I went outside my state, I tried James and his firm. It was for multiple Patent inquiries (review, opinion, potential filing) and let me say that over the course of being business for over 15 yrs and ...hiring countless amount of IP attorneys/firms, I finally found my main “go-to” guy, James Smedley. We are a gaming company, so we deal with very sensitive IP matters. His Firm has taken the time to address all of our concerns, even if we asked the same question over and over. There were a couple of time James even called me while on his vacation or at the airport about to take off for vacation because he felt our sense of concern. We did not expect that at all, but it is the type of “going the extra mile” that sets James apart from the many I have worked with in the past. Lastly, the body of work. A super lawyer with reasonable rates, quick response times, covers a lot of ground with his various subject matter experts and just his familarity to the topics we bring up make me a loyal client for sure. So since the last 3 yrs, James is still the only out of state IP Attorney we use for our company. I highly recommend him for matters related to software, hardware, contracts, IPs, engineering and technology.
