Copywrite Claim

"I was shocked when I received a letter from Higbee & Associates accusing me of copywriting infringement. I had no idea what to do or how to deal with it. Luckily, I found Griffin C. Klema, Esq online and contacted him for help. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He explained th...e situation to me clearly and advised me on the best course of action. He contacted Higbee & Associates on my behalf which helped to lower my stress. I am very grateful for his representation and highly recommend him to anyone facing a similar problem."

Copywrite issue

Mr. Klema was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, clear and to the point. His experience and expertise was obvious right from the get go. Having an attorney who was down to earth was refreshing. He helped us settle within an acceptable period of time and amount. I highly recommend util...izing his services.

Honest , Fair and Trustworthy!

I hired Mr. Klema after days of searching for an attorney to help me with an unusual case. Or shall I say he offered to help me after numerous attorneys refused. My case was emotional and Griffin helped me through it by listening, being up front and honest. I had a pet that escaped my yard and w...as found and the person who had him refused to return him. The police said it was a civil matter. Mr. Heckles , my 5 yr old tortoise, was gone forever. Until Griffin decided to help me. I know this isn’t a multi million dollar case but Mr. Klema treated it as tho it was. I have my tortoise back and my new baby Aldabra tortoise we named Griffin. I can’t say enough about a lawyer that will fight as hard for the “little” guy as he does for the “big” one.

Dedicated to his craft!

Working with Griffin was a pleasure. Not only did he take the time to explain everything in detail and offer his opinion whenever necessary, he was diligent in his efforts and used the exact wording and "voice" necessary to convey exactly what was desired. I have no doubt that if there were ever a ne...ed to work in IP again, we would rehire Mr Klema.

great human being, highly informed lawyer

we were sued for stopping a vendor services in Tampa, and being from Miami, first we hired a lawyer off the yellow pages who overcharged his worked hours, beside we noticed that the other party who was unfairly asking $6,000 contract cancellation, started to aske for $20,000, beside lawyer fees, A fr...iend advised us to contact Griffin, and substitute our first lawyer, Griffin persuaded the truth with my partners, and spent over 8 hours, before taking the case, or accepting any consultation, and as we hired him, we realized the big hole that the first lawyer put us in, Mr Klema, not only offered discounts of his hours, based on his belief that the first lawyer cheated the work hours, but in less than two weeks, the other aggressive party became on the defense, many mistakes made by our first lawyer as well as by the adversary lawyer, became obvious. The language, efforts and honesty used by Griffin, can not be made by an average lawyer. Asking for honesty these days is a priority, but with getting highest level of knowledge, I recommend this great professional

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
