Excellent Work from Great People

We were a software start-up in need of complex (to us) legal and business advice to ensure our software IP would be protected. We needed a firm that would "teach us" the why and not just the what. Mike walked us through the process of protecting our IP in the US and abroad and provided us the pros ...and cons of each step, as well as the financial and legal impact of each decision. Mike and everyone at the firm were responsive and willing to spend the time helping a growing company ensure its long term viability. They have provided straight forward, sound legal advice around a variety of software, contractual and other legal needs. I'd highly recommend Mike and team for IP, contract, and other legal needs.

Exceptional service and understanding of our requirements.

I have been working with Mike for almost a year. He was recommended by a mutual friend and has lived up to all my expectations. At an initial visit at his office in SLC, Mike explained in great detail everything I needed to consider to file multiple patents and trademarks; he has been exceptionally e...asy to work with and responds to questions lightening fast, putting my mind at ease and helping our company to progress with our applications and respond to external communications in a timely manner. His fees have been inline with our expectations and his service and understanding of our requirements have been spot on. I would highly recommend Mike and his staff. Thank You.

I highly recommend Michael Frodsham

Mr Frodsham is the most professional, competent, personable and efficient attorney I have ever worked with. His timely response is unprecedented in the legal field! I have submitted inquiries in the wee hours of the morning and even then have always received responses with 2 hours. He is concise, t...imely and very knowledgable in addition to providing impeccable client services. I highly recommend him and his firm for any IP legal needs without any reservation.
