Great Attorney!

Rich provided clear guidance and advice on pursuing trademark protection for my company. He is extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy. The entire process was super straightforward and easy from start to finish.

Posted by Randy | July 20, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Intellectual Property

Great work on my trademark issue

I am extremely happy with Rich's handling of my case. His expertise in trademarks far exceeded what I expected after meeting with him for just a few minutes. He communicated everything clearly so I understood every detail about my case and all my options. He was always responsive throughout the entir...e process. In the end great outcome and exactly what I was looking for.

I saw firsthand how Rich expertly navigated our business transaction and his attention to detail. His advise was spot on and he clearly communicated all aspects of the case to my team and I, it really made the process effortless. Every concern was promptly addressed, and the entire transaction went o...ff without a hitch. For anyone needing top-notch assistance in business matters, Rich is the go-to attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
