Posted by clif | February 8, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent work is his minimum standard.

In the course of my company's business we need the services of attorneys in various areas of law. Most importantly intellectual property law. We always opt for the most highly recommended as in the case of Mr. Vobach who was recommended by a well known national firm. My company has had a valued relat...ionship with Bill for about a decade. He is a thought leader in the evolving patent world, has extremely important international relationships in the field, and has performed IP work with superb results. I look forward to having Mr. Vobach as an invaluable resource for many years to come. Not a bad handball player either.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
