Don't Retain, Not Professional

Phil is very unprofessional. He provides deadlines dates that he never meets (in my cases 8 months later). He's eager to get paid, but not work. He's actually a full-time solar panel representative that moonlights as a patent attorney. Had I known before, I wouldn't have retained as that's his ...priority.

Do not hire Philip

I hired Phil for a job he never delivered and is not answering my calls or email. This article will explain how he was involved in a fraud and had his license revoked for 5 years - https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/world-patent-marketing-scam-took-millions-of-dollars-from-inventors-9605870 Do not... hire him.

Excellent Patent Lawyer

Phil was perfect for my needs. First of all he has an Engineering background. This works well with my invention. Second, he has actually worked in the Patent Office as a patent examiner. This is a big plus, you want someone to have that experience so they can build a solid patent application. And of ...course, he is a Patent Lawyer. With these three qualifications, you'd think he will cost you an arm and a leg but surprisingly his fees are reasonable. As a person, he is easy to talk to and very accommodating. I highly recommend him and will use him again for my other ideas in the future.

Focuses on the opportunities, not the negatives

Phil was very professional and easy to work with. He first helped me with a very nuanced utility patent where his skills and experience were immediately evident. When the USPTO requested an amendment be made he was actually able to make the patent even more valuable and encompassing while fulfillin...g their request. Furthermore, when I mentioned in passing that I had competitors trying to circumvent my patent he had immediate and valuable suggestions to further protect my intellectual property.

Quality work

Phil's work on my patent application was exemplary. The document itself was of the highest quality and I appreciated the attention he paid to a number of 'gotchas' that would have never occurred to me. I'll certainly use Phil for any of my future patent applications.
