Do not know anyone better!

It has been well over 20 years ago when I met Lance first time. That time he worked for a prestigious DC firm. We worked on a couple of patents for agrochemical use. Since then I have remain in contact with him and he prepared another patent for me and provided with important legal insight. Lance is ...very experienced in the area of patenting. He has an incredible grasp of novel scientific and technological concepts, which is essential for preparing a patent application. Most impressive is the speed of his work writing applications and preparing associated documents. I have always had an impression that he is a few steps ahead of me and I need to speed up my part of work. There are always very insightful conversations with him, revealing hidden problems to proactively deal with. I value Lance for his direct and honest approach and great personality. It has been always pleasure to work with Lance.

Tired of the rest then use the best!

I have used Lance Johnson for 28 years now. He has been with a number of small boutique firms and large D.C. based IP firms. His experience as a patent examiner and litigator is paramount to his grasp of the key issues. I have used him for Freedom to Operate letters, patent filings, patent litigati...on, ITC 337 advice, trademarks, copyrights, and general contract licensing and compensation agreements. I find his work ethic incredible and his passion for excellence and accuracy fundamental to why I keep going back to him for assistance. If you are in business there will come a time when you need a sharp honest attorney and Lance is exactly that. If you need to protect your proprietary developments or defend them in court Lance will do an exceptional job for you. His legal insight has been directly responsible for many successful achievements in my career and I have been blessed to work with him. Believe me, now that he has his own firm he will make you feel that your project is THE most important one that he is working on. He will explain things where you can understand them, and most of all, he will cut to the gist of the legal matters due to his vast experience of working with some of THE BEST law firms in the USA. You won't find a easier and more pleasant person to work with either. That combination of legal expertise and great personality is an extremely rare combination. Give him a try some time, you will be very, very pleased with Lance and his work.
