Best Lawyer for Domain Disputes!

Mr. Weslow is the best lawyer for all domain disputes. After contacting Mr. Weslow through phone, he responded immediately to discuss my situation and the facts of the case. He showed that he was very knowledgeable about domain disputes and was very professional throughout our phone call. Immediately..., he took over and resolved my dispute within less than a week. Throughout the case, he responded quickly to all of my concerns and took the time to listen and answer my questions. I commend Mr. Weslow for his efficiency and highly recommend him for all domain dispute matters.

David Weslow got back our domain names that were stolen

About one year ago I discovered to my horror that our domain portfolio had been raided, and 32 very valuable names were taken and transferred away to an overseas registrar. I contacted our company lawyer who immediately tried to contact the parties involved and get the names transferred back to us. I... contacted law enforcement and there was nothing they could do. Our lawyer was suggesting ways to get the names back that involved a lot of time and money. Our lawyer wanted us to appeal to ICANN which could take months or even years. I did a lot of research and realized that the people who stole the domains were trying to sell them to unsuspecting clients. Luckily some of the names were returned without incident but 14 remained overseas. These domains were worth thousands and were a key part to our business. I did some more research and found David Weslow. My first call to David was great for me because he immediately told me we could get these names back, and he would gladly help us do that. David's credentials when it comes to domains and intellectual property are outstanding. He laid out the steps involved and asked me to send him all the information on our case and he would do the rest. David filed the necessary paperwork with the courts and we went through the whole process. Less than one year later we received all the names back to our account. David had gotten those names back because of his superior knowledge of the laws regarding domain ownership. If you ever need someone to help you in a situation like this call this lawyer. I really thought that we would never get the names back and lose a huge investment. I can honestly say that if I had not called David we would not have these domains in our possession today. I wish I could be more specific about the case but I can assure you that David helped us when everyone else said it couldn't be done. He did an amazing job and I highly recommend him for anything related to domain disputes.

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.
