US Trademark

I have used Master Key, Justin an His partners for years and their knowledge and experience doesn't compare at all to the others. Most firms either never answer the phone or are willing to answer specific questions with straight answers. I had to renew a trademark, and they were there for me all the... way to the end. You will not be disappointed Thank you again! RJS

Having a great Attorney as a part of your team is critical to managing your business, particularly in an industry grounded in invention and technology. Justin Sanders has provided us with excellent legal advice and practical support at every stage of our development. Highly recommended.

Most Honest Attorney I've met.

I called up Justin to receive trademark legal advice. I was looking to trademark my company and get protection on the name and have talked to several attorneys before I talked to Justin. Out of all the attorneys I talked to, Justin was the most honest. He told me that my name could be trademarked, ho...wever, it is so widely used that it has become a common term and cannot be protected by a trademark. He said that I could try and trademark it, but I likely wouldn't get it passed and my money is much better spent elsewhere. I thought I needed a trademark, but I guess my name is too widely used at this point. Even though he knew I was not a promising job, he took his time with me and if I need anything else I will make sure to go to Justin first. Thanks very much Justin you're awesome!

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.

Genuine, authentic and intelligent

I am new to intellectual property and was so thankful for Justin's help. He is deeply knowledgeable and I never felt like a burden or like I was bothering him. He didn't rush me but took the time to talk it through and come to the best possible conclusion. I went to a handful of IP guys before I foun...d Justin (who actually got referred to me by a friend) and I am so glad I found him. He is definitely the most real lawyer I have ever spoke to. He seems trustworthy and genuine which are rare traits in general let alone in Law. Very happy to know Justin. I will definitely refer to him again in the future.
