A star
Vance did amazing work on our patent, and we were able to get amazingly good claims for work that has a very strong impact on our company's IP portfolio. A consummate professional, I would refer any colleague to his practice!
"Vance is a go-to resource on IP matters. He is extremely knowledgeable and also takes a practical approach problem solving for clients."
"Vance is a very accomplished and knowledgeable patent attorney, and contributes a lot of his time to the community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Vance is extremely smart and practical, relating well to all of his clients. He always has their best interests in mind."
"Simply put - Vance is a phenomenal IP attorney. Unlike other IP/patent attorneys, though, Vance's soul is in business. He understands business strategy and needs better than some of the most seasoned investors and executives I've met. This skill, coupled with his rock-solid domain expertise in IP, make him one of the most valuable advisers one could ask for. It is no wonder he has become of the the preeminent voices in IP law in the business community. He's also a shark at Scrabble...and poker."
"Vance did an amazing job educating my former executive team and product and tech staff regarding the ins and outs of IP 101."
