Great lawyer!

I had a consultation with Leo about parents. He is very knowledgeable in the field and gave me good solid advice regarding my invention. I highly recommend him for all patent issues.

Great Attorney!!!

I am a long time seller on Amazon, and needed an attorney to help me protect my brand from being infringed on by other companies, who are copying my product. I researched online for an attorney who is local in Brooklyn, and also experienced in trademarks and brand protection, and is a registered pate...nt attorney with uspto. I came across Leo Mikityanskiy, who has an impressive resume and a long list of accomplishments. He is Electrical Engineer (which to me means that he understand my line of business and product), and a USPTO attorney. He worked in big law, and has many years of experience working with business owners, trademarking, and patent law. I scheduled an appointment for a consultation with him, and I have to say that he was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took time to listen to my concerns, and already had a plan of action that we needed to take against the company that was infringing on my brand. I am very satisfied with the outcome of this matter, and will be using Leos services for brand protection, and my trademarking need. Thanks again Leo Mikityanskiy.

Leo is a wonderful attorney!

We had an Estate/Medicaid Planning consultation with Leo. My parents are moving from NY to PA, and I needed an attorney who is licensed in both states, and knowledgeable Estate Planning, Elder Law, And Waiver Program Regulations in Pennsylvania. Leo was able recommend several viable options for my pa...rents, and without his guidance I would have been lost. Leo is very detail oriented, and takes his time to explore all possible options. He really cares about his clients, and his friendly demeanor shows it. Another plus for us is that Leo has 2 office locations in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn and Feasterville, PA. We had meetings with him at both locations, which his office coordinated for us. We highly recommend Leo for Estate Planning, Elder Law, and exploring home care options available to seniors (waiver program). We thank you for all your help.
