Breach of contract

After filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau(which includes photos)stating I did not want to pay for a portion of the work that was substandard, Ridge Top Roofing filed a lien against my property. BBB being a mediation platform was unable to resolve the issue so I contacted Moore Law Off...ice and after one phone call from Attorney Moore the case was settled within 2 weeks. I appreciated the depth of knowledge on precise action needed for a quick and satisfactory resolution. Attorney Moore is professional, supportive, and relatable. I am also thankful for her office staff who always were polite and gracious in keeping me current on the proceedings. I highly recommend her office.

Intellectual property lawyer | Jul 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ms. Marteny bailed me our big time on a frivolous intellectual property claim. The opposing lawyer was trolling the internet for web sites that "might" infringe on his trademark. This lawyer was doing his best to wear us down. Ms. Marteny was unflinching. Ms. Marteny is tough and she can back it up with knowledge and skill. I highly endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Suzi Marteny is one of the first names that executives and business owners should think of when facing any challenge that involves intellectual property rights. She is a trustworthy advisor, determined litigator, and smart business woman. Most importantly, Suzi will advocate as effectively as any large firm litigator without charging the rates necessary to support the crushing overhead that those firms carry."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
