    Registered Patent Attorney and I also prosecute Trademarks.

    15 years

I am a cross-functional attorney with excellent backgrounds in the 3 areas that every 21st-century business organization needs legal advice: Corporate-Business & Tax law, Intellectual Property law, and Cyber Security law.

 

Unlike the typical attorney with a one-dimensional practice, my diverse academic background in tax law and software engineering uniquely positions me to deliver excellent legal services to my clients.  I have an LL.M in Tax degree from Georgetown University.  I worked at the Internal Revenue Service as a Student Attorney while in law school.  I am also a registered patent attorney with experience as a patent examiner at the United States Patent & Trademark Office. I have over 15 years of experience developing software for the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corp, Schlumberger, General Dynamics, etc. In other words, I am an attorney that understands and speaks C++, C, C#, Java, and php as well as the law.

 

I remain a practicing engineer; affording me the opportunity to offer excellent representation at a very reasonable cost. As the ultimate 21st-century attorney for startups and small businesses, I strive to provide my clients with excellent legal service at a cost effective price.

Legal Review
I was very pleased with the way Mr Jimi Kolawole handled and treated my Case against Chase Bank. He stayed on top of the matter until we finally reached an arbitration agreement with Chase Bank. Thank you for a job well done.

Review
Jimi was very detailed. He would give you updates, important information pertaining to one’s case when least expected. Finally, he was able to resolve a lingering issue I thought would never have a closure!

DMV LAWYER
Jimi Kolawole was recommended by a trusted friend. And from our first meeting, Jimi provided me with clear, sound and practical legal advice regarding my taxes and immigration application process. In my opinion, Jimi is reassuring, articulate and very knowledgeable; I would highly recommend him to everyone. I am appreciative of everything he has done for me.

Mr. Jimi Kolawale has been nothing but phenomenol in defending my case in court. He worked tirelessly, and on a short notice with my child custody and support modification case. Jimi is an experienced attorney who sacrifices time for his client and is very hands-on and detail oriented. He was reachable even at odd non-working hours, and he maintains integrity and realism in his practice. I'd refer anybody with a family case issue to trust Jimi for the most realistic outcome. I thank him for taking his time to prepare me for questioning during the trial hearing. He is optimist and a firm believer in God if all else fails. Thanks much Jimi, may you live long to help other hurting folks.

Excellent Family Lawyer
Jimi is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney. He was able to quickly respond to multiple motions involving my family law issues resulting in dismissals which saved me costs for it did not require lengthy court time. He is unlike my previous attorney where he is knows the case law and does thorough research to handle my matters at the lowest level possible. He is very responsive to any questions I have. I am fortunate to have found Jimi to represent me for my family law issues, and he even helped me on my tax issues of which he is even more knowledgeable! Hire him if you want honest and professional attorney.

One tough lawyer
Jimi was great, he helped advise me in which direction to go for my divorce and child support and custody. He was very consistent and stayed on top of each topic. We addressed each topic individually. He was very knowledgeable about the military side as well. I will definitely recommend him.
