Francis John Ciaramella

I decided to start a clothing business. I came up with a meaningful name and a logo that was the perfect representation of my company. So, I decided to trademark the name and logo on my own. I began creating different designs for the brand and even reached out to a few vendors to start placing my ord...ers. Then boom! I received a letter from the USPTO notifying me that someone else has a similar name and similar logo. I’d already fallen in love with the name and logo and I wasn’t willing to let it go. But this was my first time starting a business, so I didn’t know what to do or where to even start. I started looking for an attorney. Every attorney I contacted either didn’t respond or didn’t return my phone call. I don’t remember how I stumbled across Mr. Ciaramella’s number but I’m glad I did. When I reached out to him, I instantly knew that he was going to be my attorney. Although I knew my chances of keeping the name and logo were extremely slim, his knowledge and honesty gave me hope to fight to keep the name and logo. I felt choosing him was the right decision. I never had to reach out to him first because he would consistently keep me updated on what was happening or what was to come during the process. Today I just received the fantastic news that my trademark was accepted and is entitled to registration. I’m so excited! I have so much more that I want to do so this definitely won’t be our last ride. Frank Ciaramella, I just want to say thank you so much for representing my company.

I had a fantastic experience with Francis John Ciaramell at Rick Ruz, PLLC! We communicated 100% via email and he was always very prompt with replies and status updates. I tried to register a Trademark by myself with the USPTO and was getting very frustrated with the process and red tape. After conta...cting Francis John Ciaramell, he assured me that he would handle the process and he sure did. I should have contacted him from the beginning! I would highly recommend him for sure!
