Cheryl Lorraine Hodgson

Creating a new consumer brand and carving space for it in this world filled with brands and slogans is not easy, it often feels that everything worth while has already been trademarked. Brainstorming with Cheryl helped me see new ways and solutions so that at the end I was able to trademark and prote...ct my brand exactly the way I had envisioned. Cheryl is creative and supportive, always rooting for her clients to go and conquer the world. If you plan to do it, you better have Cheryl on your side!

I was represented by a lawyer masquerading as a trademark attorney so that he could be my billing attorney at a firm a friend introduced me to . A different attorney at the firm secretly encouraged me to find a new trademark lawyer. Cheryl explained A different attorney at the firm secretly encoura...ged me to find a new trademark lawyer. Cheryl explained my filings why my current filings and extensions gave me no protection at all and where unnecessary. In 20 minutes Cheryl I made more sense to me and clarified things in a way my former attorney David Hochman was entirely unable to do. Two years into my children's educational company/start up I have no trademark protection of any value whatsoever. Cheryl got to work so quickly and did more for me in two weeks then David Hochman did for me into years. Not only is Cheryl a rockstar attorney, she is a fun compassionate woman who cares deeply about not only is Cheryl a rockstar attorney, she is a fun compassionate woman who maintains her own practice and knowing the pitfalls of joining a firm much like the one that took my money and did all the wrong things, taking advantage of my trademark naïveté. I would come to Cheryl for any and all legal issues .

I refer music clients to Cheryl due to her deep expertise in copyright and litigation matters such as copyright grant terminations and infringement litigation. I also appreciate her robust trademark and branding legal practice; two organizations for which I am a director hired her to expertly regist...er our trademarks. Cheryl and I once had a mutual client, for which I calculated damages in a Latin music infringement matter, which Cheryl deftly settled in the client's favor. She is a smart and experienced go-getter who fights for her clients' financial and IP interests.
