Island Born Trademark

Attorney Anthony Verna was pretty straight forward what I needed to get my trademark settled from a recent opposition filing. He explained in detail what to expect and my options. He saved me $$$. Would highly recommend for any trademark consultations.

Posted by Jen | March 23, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Knowledgeable, reliable and fair

I hired Anthony to review my basic consulting contract, to ensure that it was air-tight. After the review, I felt much more comfortable and confident that I was protected. After that, I recommended him to Clients to help with a copyright infringement situation and he went above and beyond to do whate...ver he could to assist. Overall, Anthony is extremely smart and knowledgeable. He listens and understands my needs for each project and always does a great job of allaying any legal concerns I may have. He is timely and fair and when necessary is both strategic and aggressive in order to achieve the desired end result.

Knowledgeable, affordable trademark expert

I highly recommend Anthony for your trademark questions, filings and disputes. Anthony patiently helped me research potential company names and then trademarked the one I picked. He knows everything there is to know about the trademark process and his rates are affordable for small business owners. L...ater, when a competitor tried to file a similar mark, Anthony got the mark dismissed at minimal time and expense to me.

Above and beyond

Found Anthony when a trademark dispute arose, and would recommend without reservation. His counsel was spot on, no question he knows what he is doing. And he did not over-bill like a lot of lawyers would. Very pleased with his service (we won our case) and will continue to use him for trademark co...unsel in the future.

Copyright & Trademark Ninja

Safeguarding our creative assets — trademark and copyright — requires vigilance and legal expertise. Anthony helped us win a settlement against toy counterfeiters, mediate and settle a copyright infringement case, serve myriad cease and desist notices all while keeping tabs on our copyrights and trad...emark. Our IP could not be in better hands, thanks to Anthony.

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.
