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.

If you are a Startup, hire him!

Eric has been a part of Faststart Studio as a in-house patent attorney and has worked with almost all the companies that go through the incubator. The high recommendation from some of the companies who worked with Eric made our search super easy. Eric is responsive, trustworthy, well known in the ...community and very knowledgeable. We are glad we are working with Eric and look forward to working with him i the future as well.
