"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Pravel was local co-counsel on complex trademark infringement litigations concerning novel and complex issues Internet domain name trademark infringement and in rem jurisdiction of domain names. While one of the complex cases was pending, the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act was passed providing for in rem jurisdiction. He should be your first call if you need an IP attorney in the Washington DC and Virginia areas."
