Posted by Lanai | June 28, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Trademark Application

Peace of Mind

From start to finish I have been completely satisfied with Fredric’s work. He delivered an effective solution solving my issue regarding my Trademark Application. That’s not even what the rating is for. It’s HOW he delivered it. He asked probing questions to make certain the initial contract was suit...able for us both. The expectations were pretty clear and there are is no fine print with him. He remained communicative, polite, fair, understanding, and it was never a moment I felt he didn’t have control over the situation. His thoroughness provided a peace of mind for something that was impossible for me to do on my own. Law isn’t necessarily my language and he made note of that by providing detailed information to me in innovative ways that I personally would understand. He even made beneficial suggestions to concerns outside of my initial request regarding my Trademark. He simply went above and beyond and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. He’s definitely hired for any other legal matter that I or my family may have!

Outstanding Lawyer Focused on Your Success

I strongly recommend Fredric Abramson as an attorney who takes the time to understand you, your requirements and offers advice and/or takes appropriate action to achieve success for you! At our initial consultation, Fredric took the time to get to know us and fully understand our legal requirements s...tarting a new business. Fredric then put us at ease sharing how his experience as a business owner himself and legal expertise would assist us through the process. Fredric's varied experience has been extremely helpful as he has demonstrated a comprehensive approach ensuring that we acquired and protected trademarks, name assignments along with the incorporation process. His rates are reasonable and he has been very accommodating with his billing. We have retained Fedric as our business attorney and have nothing but accolades for his performance. He is readily available and works around our schedule which is uncommon in the legal profession. His diverse experience adds to his legal acumen as his perspective as a business owner increase his credibility and sage advice. We are very pleased with Fredric and value his interest in us and our success. Great job by a gifted attorney and we are pleased to have him on our Team!
