This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very honest and helpful

I was inquiring to see if I needed an attorney to help me trademark my business name, luckily I made an appointment with James. He called me right away, we spoke and he informed me that I would be good to go on starting the process on my own and that hiring an attorney may not be necessary for my cas...e. He was also kind enough to send me some informative videos that were very helpful in starting the process as well, which was definitely beyond my expectations. I appreciate the honesty & the money he saved me.

Patent consult

James was very honest and blunt with the content of our meeting. His engineering background made the topic easy to convey back and forth. His main concern was to ensure I spent my money well. He was not Just looking for a quick profit.

Great Patent Attorney

So far I've had an initial consultation with James Yang, and I have to say he did an excellent job of informing me of all of the ins, outs, pitfalls, risks etc. His input on my concept was equally excellent and is genuinely appreciated. I am really looking forward to working with him :)

EZ Pro Texture inc. Patent Application

I recently had a large company reviewing our product for distribution. During the process their general counsel found that our patent application was being handled incorrectly and in dire need of last minute action. The corporate attorneys had the collective opinion that the patent could not be saved.... Mr. James Yang was hired to facilitate the necessary actions to save our patent! I am very pleased to say that he was the right attorney for the job! Mr Yang did thorough research of our product and aided us in rewording our application. He has vast knowledge of patent law and he was clear about the potential for success while pointing out obstacles as well. In the end Mr Yang prevailed in acquiring our patent and I highly recommend he and his Firm Stetina,Brunda,Garred,and Brucker for your patent law needs!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
