Business owner

James gave me a thoughtful and clear rundown on strategy regarding the trademark application i was considering. He made it super clear what a smart course of action for me was. And none of his advice was about getting business. Just real world (but experienced) advice. Thank you very much!

Thorough, responsive, and forward thinking

When I received notice from my ISP regarding a court order in Florida, I was baffled and scared that my life savings would go to a predatory firm. James walked me through my options and managed to reach a settlement that worked for me and my limited resources. I'm not happy about settling with a pred...atory firm, but I am satisfied with the low amount we reached. James was methodical and real with me the whole way through. Thanks.

Janice Greenwood; Sphinx Moth Press, LLC

Slater Legal helped me find the best possible solution for registering my trademark. Mr. Slater performed a thorough trademark search, helping me identify potential issues with my logo and explaining what I needed to do to make my mark unique. When I was ready to apply for my trademark, Mr. Slater to...ok care of the complex details of the application (and the application is indeed complex!), explaining in plain English what I could expect in the coming weeks and months. I can’t stress enough how important it is for a new business to pay attention to these details, especially when it comes to branding and company name, aspects so intrinsic to doing business. Mr. Slater guided me over every hurdle and tackled every detail.
