Excellent Service, Excellent Value

Leela and her entire staff at Madan Law have been invaluable in advising us and helping us solidify our trademarks and protect our intellectual property. They are attentive, professional, and offer a high value service at a more-than-reasonable cost. Working with them has been a gift.

Great service

Leela and her law firm help Ceremity to apply for a trademark. They made the process very easy. Since then, we used the firm to review contracts and advise us on legal matters. Great firm and a great attorney.

Smooth, Seamless, and Straightforward

Leela and her team are easy to work with and incredibly kind. I have a registered trademark because of them, and the entire process was smooth, seamless, and straightforward. I highly recommend Leela for your Intellectual Property needs and will continue to be her client.

Excellent attorney who is on your side

Leela is very approachable. She is very kind, and I felt that she was rooting for me for my success (she still is now!). She sat down with me from the beginning for a face to face consultation to get an idea for what I wanted to accomplish. Leela gave me an overview and a heads up for the next ste...ps (and a little push to get started). I can tell you I had the idea and a plan, but I would not be sitting here right now as a business owner and working, had she not given me the little push, "why wait" encouragement. Leela even went as far as introducing me to various business professionals who she felt I needed to help me get started. She's not your typical lawyer. She is honest about money. I believe she is worth more than what she charges after recent experiences with other attorneys. She doesn't charge you by the minute and she sticks to what you agree to. She answers the phone and email herself. She works by the deadlines and you won't have to wonder whats happening with your case and where you are in the process. Leela and her staff keep you updated. I am going to highly recommend that you talk with her about your case, if you need someone who is going to be on your side. Leela told me in the beginning she wanted to change people's perceptions about lawyers and honestly, she did that for me. I wish that I could rate her more than 5 stars, because she worth that. Follow her business on Facebook at Madan Law PLLC to see how competent and nice she is for yourself. I will do business with her again in the future, and I have already recommend her to my friends.
