Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have known Mark for many years and now have had the opportunity to seek advice from him on my intellectual property matters and those of my clients. I have found him to be very knowledgeable and adept at making quick assertions of a matter and advising me very well of trademarks on both State and Federal levels. I would highly recommend Mark as an intellectual property attorney for any individual or business.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer
I first met Mark a number of years ago when he was a student in my patents class. Mark not only earned an A in the class, he impressed me so much that I decided to hire him to work for me full time. Mark never ceases to impress me and our clients. It's a true pleasure to work with him on a daily basis.
