Gregory Garrison, Copyright infringement Attorney on Jun 11, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Darren is the "go to" guy on trademark and copyrights. I am thankful that I brought Darren in on a recent copyright infringement case. Thanks to Darren we obtain a large settlement for our client. If you have a trademark or copyright case hire Darren before your opposition does!
James Pravel, Litigation Attorney on Jun 1, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I worked with Darren on complex Internet Domain Name Litigation at the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia at a time when the nuances of the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act ("ACPA") were still being sorted out. Darren was skilled and precise with his breifing and arguments and I would strongly recommend him for any civil litigation related matter.
