THE Best!

Sam is kinda like a unicorn, something I never thought actually existed. He takes the time to actually talk to you without charging you for every second of his time. He managed to get me multiple patents on a natural product that NO ONE thought could be patented. He is brilliant, kind and very patien...t. I highly recommend Sam to anyone who needs this type of council.

If you can dream it, Sam will help it become a reality

Sam has previously helped me obtain one patent and I am now on my 2nd patent in patent pending status through him now. He always finds ways to advise me on how I can make my products better as well as cleaning up any errors that may get my patent request denied. I have 3 other projects that I am comp...leting on a bio-mechanical level and I will trust no other attorney. I can't say it enough, that if you want a true knowledgeable professional that exceeds any and all expectations, his level of expertise is unparalleled as he is the pinnacle of his field. Thanks again Sam for all you do for my companies success.

I'm impressed. He's the best.

Sam is extremely smart, professional, understanding and I cannot wait to work with him again. I created a beauty tool and he articulated my patent so eloquently and easy to understand so there is absolutely no questions on what the purpose of my project is to someone who is not familiar with the beau...ty field. Thank you Sam for your amazing work on MAGGIE!

The best in the business

When other patent attorneys took advantage of my lack of knowledge Sam was honest and told me why my project would never receive a patent no matter how many appeals the other firm did. He then helped me rethink what I wanted from the product and now I am now a proud patent owner. If you want honesty ...and a patent attorney who cares about his clients then I advise you to look no further than Sam Sokhansanj!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
