Trademark Application

I hired Jelani to form my LLC and for my Trademark application. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave me key insight on the best ways to navigate in the beginning stages of my business. I'll definitely be returning for future services.

Quality Service in a Timely Manner (TM Applications)

In our initial consultation, Jelani James made sure not to only answer all my questions, but ensured that I understood every aspect of the process as well. When requesting the information necessary to get the work done, he was very specific and sent me information directly from official government... websites in regards to Trademark classifications. In addition to this he asked questions to help me narrow down what would fit best for all of my trademarks. Despite my busy schedule, Mr. James made sure to stay on top of the task and checked in with me to made sure we had everything in place. Once all my the details were sorted out, it took him less than 24 hours to file the application and send me receipts and copies of the filing. Another benefit of hiring Mr. James is his on the field experience in the entertainment industry working with brands and artists on a regular basis I would highly recommend Mr. James for those who are looking to expand their brand in the entertainment industry and want piece of mind that everything will be taken cared of in a professional matter.

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.
