Outstanding Intellectual Property Attorney

Jim has been our legal advisor on intellectual property matters for several years. He has a wonderful ability to explain complex matters very simply and logically and helped guide us through the various options our company had related to our intellectual property portfolio. Jim has been a terrific ...partner and has worked with us both on strategy and cost management. I strongly endorse Jim for anyone looking for legal counsel in this area.

Great experience

I have been a client of Jim's now at two different companies, and have consistently found him to be excellent. He is knowledgeable, resourceful, responsive, and efficient. In my first work with Jim, his detailed knowledge of the patent process enabled us to get our patent issued after it had been r...ejected and stalled while we were using another (bigger) firm. Since then we have worked with him patent-related litigation and use Jim for all of our IP-related work.

Great advice! Alerted our company to all options

We are so appreciative of all the legal help that Jim has provided. Highly recommend his services as he goes above and beyond other lawyers we considered.

Excellent experience

Jim has worked on contract reviews for our non-profit organization on a few occasions. Each instance is professional, timely and contains excellent advice. Jim's reviews take in to account current state and federal laws and usually suggestions that we should make to create a better position for the o...rganization. I would recommend Jim and continue to use him each time I need a contract review or advice on how to handle contract disputes.

Understands Business

James is an excellent attorney. He has many strengths, but perhaps his biggest asset is his inherent ability to understand and apply the law in the context of the business environment. Business people want to get business deals done. It's often a sliding scale with risk and deal closure. James' a...daptability makes his value worthwhile....in spades, and his advice always comes in the proper context.

Jim also has a great understanding of the nuances of Delaware practice, and when coupled with his intellectual property experience makes him an ideal local counsel for IP litigation in Delaware - - much more value added that other local counsel I have worked with. High recommended."

  • 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.
