Intellectual Property Litigation Representation
Andrew Connors has a keen knowledge of Intellectual Property and represents me in IP litigation. Andrew is always respectful and patience even with not so patient clients like me. He responds to questions and concerns quickly. He explains the litigation process and what to expect. He is good at brainstorming options for you. He is highly ethical and realistic in his advice. Andrew listens to his clients and is a good communicator. He doesn't promise the moon but he delivers trust and confidence easing the anxiety that comes with litigation. Billing is always fair.

A Mere 'Thank you' Falls Short
I trust Andrew Conners. He skillfully guided me through a serious and delicate legal entanglement which might have cost me a great deal had I attempted it alone. I found him to be an intelligent and moral attorney who went above and beyond to meet my needs.

Andrew Connors is a great lawyer.
Andrew was so professional in helping me with my legal matter. I was scared, he gave me reason to be calm. I had so many questions about what could happen, and he helped me find answers to these questions with a plan to move forward after the legal matter was settled. I would consider no other lawyer other than Andrew.

General legal help for business and patent search.
Andrew has been excellent at responding quickly to legal matters that require immediate attention. This includes threatening letters from a previous supplier, breach of contract with my existing print-vendor, lease arrangements, and other general issues. He has also provided good and accurate opinions on two previous patent searches. The one issue that I would complain about is that we filed a patent in the 11th-hour (literally on the last day possible), which was cutting things a little close.

Andrew P. Connors - Work Review
"Mr. Andrew Connors represented my family concerning a hard fought legal debate in court. This 'civil law' matter was complex. Only after he completed a thorough study did Mr. Connors clarify the facts for us so that we could make informed decisions on legal options open to us. His research of the issue gave us a solid legal basis for pursuing the matter in court. He ably represented my family throughout the appellate process at the level of the Virginia Supreme Court. Key in all of this was Mr. Connors' familiarity with the process/requirements that were required. His background and experience was the foundation of an effective advocacy of our position before the judges that heard our case. Mr. Connors was a consummate professional in working for us... respectful and understanding throughout the prosecution of our case. He had a knack for describing legal points in an uncomplicated manner that kept us informed. He made certain that we knew what we needed to know to clearly understand all options and to make important decisions. Finally, Mr. Connors was always accessible when we needed to talk. I recommend him without reservation as an honest and capable attorney with the highest integrity."

Professional and Personalized Service: Intellectual Property & Business Law
Andrew has been extremely helpful in providing legal guidance & services for my startup business. He has taken the time to get to know the intricacies of my business and made sure to talk through all potential "gotchas" and risks up front. This allowed him to create appropriate legal documents and filings to minimize my risk. He has also been able to add crucial insight into how potential business decisions could have legal implications, which helps me steer clear of potential obstacles down the road. Andrew is very professional, capable, and, on top of all that, a compassionate and caring human being. He is a great asset to my business, and I'm very happy to have his level of skill & expertise in a legal partner.
