This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Trademark Approval

Attorney Jimi helped us secure our trademark approval at the Nigerian Center from the USPTO after several unsuccessful attempts on our part. I would definitely recommend his services without any hesitation.

Great representation from a capable lawyer

Even though Barrister Jimi is a friend, he still conducted my case with utter professionalism, care and showed empathy to my plight as well as thoroughly addressing my concerns and inquiries. I appreciated this, as you need to be able to implicitly trust your lawyer. I will definitely recommend him,... as a lot of times folks need certain people to be 100% all in with their personal issues: your doctor, your priest and your lawyer. He was 100% all in on my case and represented my interests pretty well.

Excellent talented lawyer

Jimi is an amazing and thorough lawyer who goes above and beyond in a professional capacity. I enjoyed using him, due to the fact that he is precise, explains in a clear manner, is always responsive when you need him, and then wins cases.
