Deborah C. Mortimer

As the Principal Attorney at Mortimer Legal, PLLC, Deborah C. Mortimer is a legal expert in intellectual property law, blending an eclectic background of legal expertise in trademark and copyright services with a background in writing and publishing. She’s been there before from both sides of the fence—and she knows what her clients need.

For Deborah, it all starts with a simple concept: integrity. Clients experience her strong work ethic in every aspect of the attorney-client relationship: detailed, transparent communication and direct, honest management of expectations. Her keen, creative, and persuasive legal writing skills pair well with her concept of working with clients as a team. On this team, consider her your most persistent advocate, and chief negotiator.

Now, Deborah brings her background as a litigator and legal writer/editor to the world of intellectual property. Mostly dealing with trademark and copyright registration, enforcement, and maintenance, Deborah brings the same habits that brought her clients success: organization, due diligence, and a tough-minded approach to offering the best possible representation.

Deborah is also an author and owner of Leap Forward Publishing, LLC, a publishing imprint that develops and promotes books with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and representation. Additionally, she coaches aspiring authors looking to publish books under their own imprint. This combination of legal and boots-on-the-ground experience makes her the ideal teammate for anyone who wants to protect their brand and ideas with nationwide trademark and copyright registration along with well-written agreements. She’s built brands herself, and she knows what it takes to protect those brands over the long haul.
