High Marks for Trademarking

Mr. Wachspress is very adapt at intellectual property law. He is extremely thorough with his research and stays on top of all my trademark registrations and renewals.

Efficient, effective help

My blog's name unwittingly included a word that an international corporation claimed to have copyrighted. Suddenly I was getting threats. Brief inquiry led me to Eric who began by saying, "This is right up my alley!" Eric promptly sorted out who in the world (literally) to contact. In two brief l...etters to them he stated my position and also corrected and clarified theirs. Eric kept me informed via brief emails, which greatly facilitated my decision-making. He was also readily accessible by phone on those few occasions I needed to talk interactively. In short order, Eric resolved matters to my satisfaction.

All in all, an awesome, competent w/high integrity attorney. Top notch!

From corporate issues, to copyrights & trademarks, and day to day business... Eric Wachspress is an outstanding, moral with high integrity attorney. His knowledge, competence and care are second to none. Eric works from home, and passes on the savings to his clients. Whatever he personally can't do, ...which is pretty rare, he knows of an attorney or C.P.A. that can. After working with Eric for over 5 years, he still amazes me. Eric is very articulate, and a stickler for any & all legal terms, wording & contexts. His experience will save you money & future frustrations the First Time!!!! Eric is very easy to consult with, and always is professionally in one gear...Protecting His Clients & Their Future. Eric is very down to earth with common sense, a hard find. So, I hope you decide to have him as your attorney also. He is one of many attorneys I have on retainer, and the one I use the most. This is coming from a President of a Corporation, and an Inventor. With True Sincerity, TJ
