    Review William Vobach

    Excellent work is his minimum standard.

    Posted by

    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 relationship 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.
