Awesome Sauce!

Mr. Faux is about his business, period point blank! He tells you what is is or isn't. No maybe. I like the fact the he is right on the job and explains the details. Also, he would give you honest opinions why you shouldn't, before you should. Meaning he just doesn't tell you what sounds good for the ...monies. I am more the satisfied with his work performance and knowledgeable outlooks.

Personable, informative and highly skilled

David Faux walked me through registering my trademark step by step, seamlessly insuring every detail was addressed - the ones I was concerned about and the ones I didn’t realize I should be concerned about. His resourcefulness and professionalism were outstanding. This is your attorney for all thing...s trademark/copyright and associated legal needs.

Attorney

I retained Attorney Faux as an expert witness in a hotly contested case in which I represented the principal creator of the music and choreography for the Blue Man Group show who was also co-creator of the entire show. David’s testimony was brilliant and his participation was a significant factor in... achieving a very successful result.

Over lord of the Underdog

An ex-employee applied to trademark my 25 year old business name and it was granted to her. She had my presence on Facebook expelled and tried to solicit payments under my business name. Texted me on my Birthday that she succeeded and it was going to cost me thousands to get it back. I called Da...vid, panicked and scared. BEST CALL I EVER MADE. Calmly and without missing a beat i got instructions on keeping my composure and answer him honestly - he would do the rest. We won, he was savvy, patient, so freaking fair in his working with me on payment, and two most important things he was kind, available and he believed me. I so needed that kind of support. He reassured me without over-promising and kept me from making impulsive mistakes. He breaks all the stereotypes!

CEO

Honestly, I am very grateful to have such an amazing attorney assist me with my trademark brand. I had some issues with intellectual property theft concerns and my trademark name being utilized illegally and David handled the issue with proficiency and diligence. When it comes to my brand and busines...s, I often consult with him. I appreciate him and he's the first person I'm calling when something doesn't seem right or I just don't know. Highly recommended!!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Experienced, smart, and extremely professional attorney - Dave and I worked together on an international defamation matter involving his fashion-industry client. Dave was clear and concise in case strategy, made quick decisions on which actions we should pursue (and not pursue), and very clearly understood the needs and requirements of his client. Above all, Dave was a pleasure to work with and always maintained his cool, even when we encountered unforeseeable obstructions. We were ultimately successful in our case and, years later, Dave is the one I turn to for practical advice and IP issues in the arts industry. Highly recommended!"
