Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met John when I started to participate in the IP Section of the Bucks County Bar Association last year. Our mutual participation in this section and our presentation during the recent Business Law Institute have afforded me several opportunities to appreciate John's knowledge of intellectual property matters, including the rules, procedures and related case law. This is a reflection of the many successes he has had during his career as an IP Attorney. Should the opportunity arise, I look forward to opportunities to collaborate with John."

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.
