Posted by anonymous | March 13, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Trademark Application

Owner

I hired Janell to file a Trademark application for my new business a few years ago. She was very expensive but an acquaintance recommended her. The trademark process is long but when it wasn’t progressing to the next phase as it should have I called USPTO myself. I spoke with a representative to s...ee what was causing the delay. The representative informed me that the wrong codes were put on the application. I contacted Janell to tell her what the correct code should have been. She fixed the application without apologies and then sent me a bill for her time. I decided to let it go at the time because I was too busy to fight with her and I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with her again. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. 7 years later she sent me a bill for letting me know the trademark is up for renewal. I decided I wasn’t going to let her get away with it again so I got another attorney to help me deal with her. She is very unprofessional, and her business practices are suspect.

Trademark renewal

Janelle not only helped my company renew our trademark, she also provided sound legal advice to help prevent future litigation. Janelle provided an accurate time line and cost for the procedure, which I appreciate. Very professional and accommodating, she's a great legal resource to any business ow...ner.

She is amazing!!!!!

I am a small business owner, and I needed someone I could trust. I interviewed many lawyers and out of all of those lawyers, janelle came prepared and blew me away. By the end of our meeting I know she was the right lawyer for me.

Stellar lawyer for those navigating the trademark legalese world

Janelle not only excels in her practice of law but also genuinely cares about the projects she takes on which leads to stellar results. It is daunting to launch your own business and suddenly find yourself traipsing through trademark laws but, Janelle made the process painless by translating the nece...ssary legal jargon, fielding all of my questions, and by responding promptly. She also exhibited at one of our organization's events and thoughtfully created a new handout specifically designed with our attendees in mind which was touching and showed a real attention to detail and awareness of and interest in her clientele. She selects cases she's passionate about which means she's truly invested in endeavoring for a successful outcome. I highly recommend her and her practice. She allows you to focus on the things you're passionate about as she works to legally protect those innovative ideas.

Excellent advice for start-ups!

Janelle is an excellent attorney who has helped me make many decisions when I was starting up my travel business a few years ago. As a first time business owner, it can be a pretty frightening experience, but she has a wealth of knowledge, confidence and unique desire to help people to succeed! She i...s also very personable, efficient and very timely in returning phone calls and emails. I highly recommend her for all your business needs!

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.
