Exceptional Trademark Lawyer

I am writing to express my recommendation for Dale Ream, an outstanding attorney specializing in trademark law. As the Equalization Officer for one of the largest and wealthiest counties in Michigan, combined with having worked in property taxation in Michigan and around the country, I have encounter...ed a lot of attorneys in my day. However, he is exceptional. His proactive communication, ability to navigate complex legal scenarios, and unwavering support have been invaluable throughout the trademark approval process. From the start, Dale demonstrated an impressive understanding of trademark law, guiding me through each step with clarity and patience. His ability to explain the intricacies of the process and requirements made a significant difference in my journey towards securing trademark. This endeavor began as a project for my uncle Dentoy, and it became his last dying wish before he passed away. Dale remained steadfast and supportive, helping me move forward even when I felt overwhelmed. His experience and professionalism provided the stability and assurance I needed during such a difficult time. Dale’s dedication and expertise have been crucial in obtaining the trademark. I am deeply grateful for his service and highly recommend him to anyone seeking assistance with trademark law.

Top Notch Patent Attorney

Dale Ream was one of the first professionals I consulted with as I initiated my entrepreneurial pursuits. As I started the patenting process of my design, Dale was kind enough to take his incredibly accomplished experience and break it down into advice that was relevant to me as I started this journe...y. He not only did an incredible job patenting my product, but he also gave me incredible insights into the industry that has been critical. And they were insights that extended beyond the patent itself. Designing and patenting the product has opened opportunities I never could have imagined. As you start down that path it is critical to have your product protected and have trust in those working with you. When you're fortunate to find those kinds of relationships, they flourish into friendships that will be some of the most valuable aspect of your journey. Don’t waste your time looking elsewhere for a patent attorney. Dale is the best to work with.

Dale is REAL

Dale is a caring family man and that extends to his clients. He always has time to chat and help you better understand the process no matter how complex. His timely expertise and advise made getting my design patent effortless and comfortable.

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.
