I discovered an organization is using a revised version of my logo on my online portfolio site. This is unacceptable. Joseph was responsive to my needs but did not seem to be aware of fair use of images in U.S. copyright law, which would be directly related to my issue.

Thank you for taking a moment to comment on my responsiveness. Fair use is a very complicated topic, for reasons discussed in several of my articles, both in print and on the web. If you do some more research on fair use, you'll find out that it is a defense to copyright infringement; having a valid fair use defense isn't a "smoking gun." Nevertheless, invoking a fair use defense requires a fact-intensive analysis that's unique to each case. For that reason, cases involving a fair use defense are oftentimes very expensive to maintain. Do not assume that because I did not engage you in a discussion on fair use, I couldn't be aware of its existence and/or purpose.

Excellent!!!

I highly recommend Bahgat Attorneys at Law! I had a case in NJ, and I'm in MA. The attorney I spoke with - Joseph Bahgat - was able to dismiss my case, and save me a trip to NJ. He was prompt, efficient, and quick in his replies, along with keeping me informed. I hope I will not need an attorney anym...ore in NJ, but if it happens again, I know who to call. Thank you for the great work and for the promptness!

Fair and Knowledgeable

Joe as able to win my case, without going to trial. He also offered me a fair fee and kept me well informed throughout the process. I highly recommend using Joe for any of your legal needs; as I have recommended Joe to two different family members.
