Amazing Attorney!

If you ever need a patent attorney, or even have a question; Andy is available to help! Very informative and you can actually speak to him without going through red tape! I will keep his office on speed dial!

Posted by Michael | February 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Trademark Application

Poor communicator

In my experience, Andy would typically take 3 weeks to reply to simple emails. I feel he incorrectly advised me on a trademark-related issue which cost me money. After numerous attempts to have my trademark approved I decided to just do it myself and had it approved the following week. I don't trust ...him. It is my opinion that he does not care about his clients.

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.
