Peter V Machi's Lawyer Endorsements
"I am pleased to endorse Attorney Peter Machi. I have seen Peter handle numerous matters related to Intellectual Property Law (Patents, Copyrights & Trademarks). Peter is the first lawyer I've met with an IP background from Franklin Pierce, and he verified what I've read from US News & World Report about the reputation of Franklin Pierce as an IP Powerhouse. Peter is sharp as a tack - He began TEACHING Intellectual Property Law at MIT at the age of 24 and was soon after involved in Figueroa v. U.S. - The legal case that brought to light the congressional patent fee diversion scandal. Most importantly I recall him saying that he does not view his job as a paycheck, but as a vocation. I've seen him live this out by always practicing law with integrity, and consistently putting his clients first."
