"Mr. Sanchelima is an asset to his clients in need of assistance with their intellectual property matters. Not only is Mr. Sanchelima extremely knowledgable, but his attention to detail and relentlessness makes him a phenomenal tool to his clients throughout their journey. Mr. Sanchelima's rapport with his clients, as well as co and opposing counsel is exemplary of civility and professionalism in an industry that seems to be moving in the opposite direction. I would personally use Mr. Sanchelima for my own intellectual property matters and I would also recommend him to my clients."
