Great Patent Lawyer

Steve is working with us to create and manage a large patent portfolio. As a patent specialist myself, I've hired and worked with dozens of patent attorneys over more than two decades, and Steve is one of the best. His drafting is superb, and he has a wide range of technical expertise across electr...ical, mechanical, networking, and software. (I wouldn't be surprised to find that the list is much longer than that one). I am particularly impressed with the thoughtful organization of definitions in his patent applications, which in turn leads to development of claiming strategies that would likely be missed by other drafters. At the level of portfolio management, he is highly organized and provides concise, simple, helpful summaries. I have also been in numerous meetings where he has displayed current and comprehensive knowledge of patent law, including on some of the more obscure and technical topics that would require a typical practitioner to pull out the books. Finally, he has been efficient, providing exceptional value for the amount billed.

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.
