Excellent Intellectual Property & Business Attorney

I have had the pleasure of working with Natalie many times over the past 4 years. I have engaged her on many different projects covering a variety of different areas of expertise including intellectual property rights, securing trademarks, lease negotiation & contracts, human resource issues, and ot...her business related matters. I have always found Natalie to be extremely responsive to all my communications. She immediately returns phone calls and responds to emails in a very timely manner. Additionally, I have found her to be very proactive in staying on top of filing deadlines. I can recommend Natalie Potter to serve as your legal advisor without reservation.

Choice Properties LLC-Partner

My family’s businesses have been operating for many years and Natalie Potter has been the most responsive attorney we have hired to date. She is available for same day consults when needed and returns e-mails and phone calls promptly. When working with her to analyze our companies polices and procedu...res she quickly identified high risk factors and helped us make adjustments. She continually reaches out to us when laws have changed that our firm needs to react to.

Litigation lawyer | Nov 03

Relationship: Co-worker

"Natalie brings a breadth and depth of experience to every legal matter she handles. In an age when most attorneys know a lot about one corner of the law, Natalie has a broad perspective from handling a lot of different types of cases over her 10+ year legal career. She sees connections, implications, and effects that others may not. I particularly endorse Natalie for matters involving serious personal injury, insurance questions, business/commercial work, and intellectual property issues (trademark, IP, branding, and the like)."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
