Founder
Elizabeth, Jerry and the rest of the law team were so impressive. I have worked with three other law firms in trying to secure my utility patent. Jerry's first draft of my response to an office action was so well done, for the first time I had zero notes. Being new to my case, he and the team were so through, so clear in the response I was extremely impressed. With the previous law firms, they were always so vague, I felt they did not spend the time to really understand the essence and what makes my patent unique. Thus resulting in me going over all the docs and rewriting the responses. Elizabeth's team got it on the first draft. For the first time in 6 years and three law firms, I finally found a law firm I can really trust with something so very important to me. Thank you Jerry for your amazing work!

Honest and sincere attorney, very skilled in Intellectual Property and Mediation
Elizabeth helped me with a trademark case; she was very easy to talk to and made the process go much easier and quicker than I expected. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend her for mediation and intellectual property related cases. Excellent attorney. Thank you, Elizabeth.
