The best of the best!

One of the biggest mistake I ever made was to believe that I could read a book and know how to file my own patent. My results were filled with gloom, despare and agony, and I didn't know what to do. I believed in my invention and didn't want to lose it. I contacted at least a dozen patent attorney...s for help, but not a single one would speak with me because I did my own filing. After so many rejections, I made up my mind to just give up, but then I happened upon a link to Reams Law Firm and figured, ok, one last try. Dale called me and I explained my situation. To my astonishment, Dale said he would help me!!! He was very clear in what he would do, what my costs would be, and that gave me every reason to feel confident that they could, and would, help me, so I hired his Firm. When it came time for me to review the papers, including the CAD drawings, I was absolutely impressed with what I saw. The papers are now filed and I have every reason to be hopeful, because I have full confidence in the Ream Law Firm.

Patent King

I am a first time inventor who started this journey right when Covid hit. I can't explain how many times I felt like giving up, but this idea was way to important to quit. It wasn't until Dale Ream came into my life that I truly felt like I was moving in the right direction. He took this scared inven...tor under his wings and provided the exact services needed to protect my idea. He was in constant communication with me and made me feel comfortable along the way. Unlike the other lawyers I was talking too, Dale always seemed to have my best interest at heart. He felt like more of an extension of our team than a lawyer we were paying. He is always there to help and give advise. I couldn't begin to thank Dale enough for the help and support he has provided. HIGHLY RECOMMEND REAM LAW. Incredible company and team.

Professionalism, legal expertise, technical knowledge, and people skills

It has been and it is a rewarding experience working with Ream Law Firm and Dale in particular. Dale has demonstrated the skills to listen carefully, understand, ask the right questions, and provide a solid and capable advice based on his legal expertise and experience. This week, we filed a third pa...tent application. Two previous patent applications were executed in the last 12 mounts and the patents were already awarded. The success is based on knowledge and attention to the details in every step of the process. Thank you! Plamen

A rare find

I was looking for an intellectual property and Patent attorney and didn't know where to turn. Try google for attorneys and you'll be hours sifting through the lot. It was Devine Providence that I found Dale and his team and couldn't be more pleased. Dale listens, guides you through the process and i...s the utmost professional throughout the entire project. I had a complicated and difficult Patent application and we are filing next week. If you're looking for a law firm to handle this type of work your search is over. Call Dale and his Team and you'll be happy you did. Happy inventing!

Highly Recommend Dale for Personal or Company Related Patents

Dale helped our company with several patents. He was up-front with us from day one and always made himself available every time we needed (and continue to need) his guidance, which isn't common among lawyers. He provided sound advice every step of the way and we continue to consult with his firm. Not... all of our patents were approved, but he did voice his concerns before-hand and we still decided to move forward. In the end, we did get approval on some of our important patents and our company would make the exact same decisions over again given the chance. His staff has always been helpful and polite. I've spoke with Dale personally regarding our company's patents and he certainly knows his stuff. It was by far, the best experience I have personally had with any of the many lawyers we've hired and recommend him to anyone searching for patent help.
