A Lawyer I Trusted

I hired Mr. Lykes to handle a personal injury case that was a result of a car accident. I was fairly young when it happened so I was pretty over my head when it came to legal matters. The whole process took about two years and throughout the entire process, I was informed about what was going on. Wh...enever I had questions I called his office and if he wasn't available at the moment, his secretary would relay the message and he would quickly get back to me. When all was said and done, I was very happy with the outcome -- especially after hearing other stories from other people in that have been in the same position as me.

Excellent Service

Charles performed outstanding services for MagLev Energy, Inc. throughout our early IP processes. His research and follow-through helped our company secure our original patents in alternative energy; a particular difficult industry to gain significant stature. I recommend him for any task.

Excellent Experience

This attorney was a great help with moving my patent forward in a quick and efficient matter. I had previously consulted a different attorney but he was very slow and unresponsive to my questions and ideas. I am now working with him on another project.
