Experienced patent attorney
My first appointment with Jim Faier was great, he is a really good person, it was really nice to sit down with him and listen to years of industry experience, I felt like I was sitting with an old friend. He provided a lot of knowledgeable examples and went really beyond to teach me about patents; he has really good stories and hypotheticals. I highly recommend Jim.
