I am intellectual property attorney with more than a decade of experience across the spectrum intellectual property law, including procurement, commercialization, and enforcement. I also have several years of general practice experience, including corporate, business and civil litigation practice that give me a broader perspective of the legal landscape that intellectual property occupies. I am therefore particularly equipped to advise clients at all phases of IP law, with an understanding of how my advice influences my clients’ rights across the entire spectrum of issues that may be encountered, particularly in the commercialization and enforcement of IP. I also have finely honed technical-analytical skills stemming from eight years of actual engineering experience with General Electric.
I provide professional service in a professional, yet relaxed atmosphere. I am available 24/7 and provide highly personal service, forming loyal and lasting relationships. I care about my clients and take care to familiarize myself with their businesses so I can best provide quality legal counsel.
