Great, personable, accurate, current, well-researched, down to earth, legal advice from someone who actually cares

Jonathan Tobin has advised me on a variety of legal matters related to my photography for years. It's always refreshing to hear his sound, well-researched legal advice on what I should do when people use my photographs without permission or licensing online. What's great about Jonathan is that he ...is deeply in touch with all the very current digital trends happening RIGHT NOW. Judging from the advice he gives me and the conversations I have had with him, other artists and small business owners are constantly presenting him with very current legal issues. I mention this because I believe that if you present him with a legal matter relating to copyright, IP, etc., it is likely that he has dealt with a very similar matter very recently, not something he has to read up on. I feel that with Mr. Tobin, I'm not presenting my arcane IP-related matters to some guy that is more comfortable dealing with medical malpractice or something. Jonathan has his fingers on the pulse of what's happening right now with IP on the internet. Plus he's a skilled graphic designer and multimedia artist that can write code. What a find.

Stellar IP Attorney

Jon has been my go-to IP attorney for a number of years now, and has always delivered effective representation on every matter that we have brought to him. Mr Tobin has performed admirably, drafting agreements, negotiating contracts, delivering accurate and powerful legal advice and opinions, all th...e while serving us as if we were his only client (though we know we're not!). Jon has an intuitive understanding of the creative process, extending into business affairs that many attorneys either cannot grasp, or do not care to engage with. Across the numerous dealings we've had with him, never once have I been disappointed or confused by his communications, as he takes the time to ensure that we are both well informed and well prepared. His legal knowledge has always been cutting edge, and I know personally the countless hours that he invests in keeping current on even the most obscure topics. I can recommend Mr Tobin without reservation, as an honorable and knowledgeable attorney, and as a stand up guy.
