Outstanding General Counsel
Although we are well aware of Mr. Alspaugh's capabilities as a specialist in IP and patent law, our needs have been more in the general business, business formation and contracts review arenas. We have engaged with Mr. Alspaugh numerous times over the years as needs have dictated and each and every time he has delivered in an outstanding manner. We have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with many attorneys in the past but by far Mr. Alspaugh has been the most responsive, up front, honest, and pleasant one that we have met. We will continue to use Mr. Alspaugh for our general business and contract legal needs... and if I am fortunate enough to invent something of value in the future, perhaps we will also have opportunity to engage his IP expertise.

Standard Aggrement for Independent Contracting Services
I was hired as an independent contractor for a local professional organization and was required to provide my own contract for services as they did not have a standard form. Mr. Alspaugh provided me with a contract specific to my position and also provided a general contract for the organization to use for future independent hires. He was timely and professional in his responses and in delivering the final product. I would definitely recommend him and I plan to use his services again in the future.
