Helped me register a trademark for my business
Chris helped me register a trademark for my business for a very reasonable fee. He walked me through the whole process explaining each step along the way. He worked on a flat-fee basis and was very generous with his time. Chris was excellent. I highly recommend him and I'll definitely use him again.
