Rajkumar Vinnakota's Lawyer Endorsements
"Kumar is one of the smartest lawyers I know. This allows him to craft creative and effective solutions to whatever problem you happen to bring to him."
"Kumar is an extremely qualified and able patent litigator. He not only possesses significant skills in litigating and trying cases, as well as understands the legal complexities of patent litigation, but he is also an engineer who worked in the private sector before entering law school. This practical real-world experience is inherently valuable in a specialized field such as patent litigation. If you want someone who knows your business as well as how to win a trial, Kumar is the patent litigator for you. He is a forthright person who treats both his clients and their cases with integrity. I enthusiastically recommend Kumar for any patent litigation issues."
"Kumar and I worked together on numerous patent cases including working-up cases for trial from 2008-2011. He is tenacious, smart, and efficient, and it was a pleasure to work with him."
