Outstanding IP Attorney

I needed to hire an IP attorney for a patent application on an electro-mechanical product and spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right candidate. Since I knew my firm would be needing a highly competent lawyer who we could trust and depend on to handle many IP-related issues for us... as we grow our company, it was especially important for me to find the right lawyer. I had a good feeling about Justin starting from our first conversation. Now that Justin has helped us with several matters, I unequivocally, highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a top-notch attorney at a reasonable price. Having interviewed lawyers that had lower rates and higher rates, I generally felt that the attorneys with lower rates did not match Justin’s level of knowledge, professionalism and communication skills and the higher priced attorneys usually didn’t either… and they weren’t nearly as accessible! As a detail-oriented, analytical person, I am the kind of client who asks a lot of questions. I actually had one lawyer turn me down as a client because he said I would take up too much of his time and that if I wanted to hire him I would have to just trust that he knows what he’s doing! Justin is the exact opposite. He always took the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions and was never in a rush to end a call. He is highly organized, always got back to me promptly and the quality of his work is second to none. And he's also a super nice guy! I don’t often write reviews, but Justin truly stands out from the crowd and has impressed me tremendously (not only in terms of his exceptional work, but in all aspects of how he conducts business), so I felt posting this review is the least I could do to show my appreciation and help other people who are having a hard time finding the right IP attorney.

Justin was an amazing help to me as we worked together to trademark my business name. He was very understanding, always asking more questions and his goal to satisfy his customers.

Great Experience

Justin did a great job reviewing a licensing agreement for us. He had our best interests in mind and he gave us great advice. We would definitely hire him again.

Patent Application Review

Justin was incredibly easy to work with and knowledgeable about the process to submit my patent. He was open to answering all my questions and didn't make me feel unimportant. I appreciated the work he did in such a short notice. Because of his due diligence I was able to submit my patent on time. He... answered my emails and calls very quickly and worked with me to submit the information he needed. His professionalism over the phone and through email put me at ease to know I could submit on time. He emailed with updates frequently and made sure I was up to speed on the best options.

Intellectual Property and Copyright

As a small start-up with limited intellectual property understanding, I found that the larger law firms were sending my questions to very young attorneys (presumably to save me money) with low understanding of the specific issues I was trying to resolve. When I first contacted Justin I was hesitant t...o try a new law firm, but my firms quickly faded as he succinctly answered the core questions I was having a difficult time understanding. I now send all my intellectual property and copyright work to Justin and give him my highest recommendation.
