About Michele

I help entrepreneurs and business owners control, protect and profit from what they have worked hard to build or create.  After practicing with a large statewide law firm for 11 years, I founded Johnson Moss L.L.C. in May 2014 to focus on providing legal services in intellectual property and internet law.  I enjoy working with entrepreneurs and business owners and showing them how to increase profit and add value to their business by identifying and protecting their valuable intellectual property. If you have a business, an idea, a product, a design, a photograph, a painting, an invention or any other type of creative work that you want to protect, I'm here to help.  If someone is using or copying your business name, slogan, product, logo, design, photograph, idea or invention without your permission and without paying you, don't just let it go. Do something about it! You can take action to protect what you have created and prevent others from misusing, profiting or taking credit for your work.  My motto is "Your Success is my business." At Johnson Moss, we love IP! Protect Your Brand. + Protect Your Ideas. = Grow Your Profit.
