Posted by Nils | February 16, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Great trademark work!

When I started my company, my old employer threatened to sue me for using an image that was too close to one he had trademarked. I hired Paul, and after some quick work, assured me that the images were not close enough, or unique enough for him to have solid legal ground to stand on. This really ca...lmed me quickly. I think his comprehensive experience in patents and trademarks allowed him to decisively set my mind at ease rapidly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
