President

We used Jana for responding to an office action as well as filing a new trademark. Her firm was a pleasure to work with. She has been very responsive and professional. I would have to recommend her as working with her has been a very smooth process. She and the attorneys at her firm were able to have... our trademarks registered and a simple process. Don't hesitate to use her as she is one of the best lawyers that I have worked with.

Excellent service

I was looking for a lawyer to register our trademark and create an LLC operating agreement for me and my two partners for our reiki business. Jana, the managing partner, and her team were reliable, extremely helpful and easy to speak with. Jana took took an interest in understanding what we needed an...d was extremely communicative throughout the process. The staff was extremely reliable and proficient in every way. The firm was also excellent in networking their clients with one another, which has yielded us many successful collaborations. I look forward to doing more work with them in the future.

JANA AND HER FIRM ARE THE BEST PERIOD!!!

Jana and her firm are the best period!! I have been through my fair share of horrible attorneys, where I had to come up with suggestions and ideas where I would basically do all the work for them. Jana and her crew was a breath of fresh air. They knew what they had to do from start to finish. They w...ere always responsive and made the lawyer client experience delightful and a complete pleasure. Jana is not the type to just pass you off to one of her associates as soon as you sign a retainer agreement. She has always been responsive to me very quickly whenever I had a question, and unlike many other attorneys I am always able to get her on the phone. Jana and her firm are on the cutting edge of business law. I have retained her firm many times for a broad range of business endeavors from patents/trademarks to a start up Tech Company. Jana is very open-minded and no matter what crazy idea I had, she was always responsive and would always guide me to a path of success. I currently use and will ONLY use Jana Gouchev and Gouchev law for any and all of my business ventures and undertakings. In addition, her rates are extremely reasonable and very fair. Jana does not charge ridiculously high rates and she definitely does not eat and burn up retainers like most other attorneys. She maximizes her time for her client and is more than fair in terms of billing. No matter how big or small you idea or business is, and if you want the best and finest representation, then Jana and her firm is the ONLY way to go.

Legal agreements

Used the services of Gouchev Law for a few things including trademark registration of our business name and logo and doing a partnership agreement for our business, which was the same as our Operating Agreement. Even thought the price was a little higher then other quotes we got, for what we got, we ...are extremely happy we went with Jana and her firm. They are definitely worth it!

A cut above the rest

Jana Gouchev and the whole staff at Gouchev Law are a top notch Business law firm. They are passionate, thoughtful and steadfast. If you are a entrepreneur or a small business start up and you need a business lawyer, Gouchev Law is a cut about the rest. They offer affordable flat fee packages to get ...you started. Jana, Sabreena & Fran not only helped me start my small business with trademarking, LLC and Business contracts, they also went above and beyond when I was severing ties with a business partner. They helped me with negotiations and the business contracts for us to go our separate way in a painless and timely matter. I have dealt with other law firm's before and Gouchev Law firm is by far the most knowledgeable.
