Posted by Ryan | December 01, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Trademark Application

With deep gratitude and appreciation

She is a miracle worker! I came to her after already having filled a trademark application with the USPTO. I had hired a different trademark-specializing attorney, so I know it was done at least professionally and properly. It wasn't long before we received an office action from the USPTO saying th...at our mark will be disallowed because it was too similar to an existing mark (it was explained to me why that existing mark did not show up on our search prior to the filling, so that's ok). Anyway, my attorney at the time said he could not dispute it -- he said the USPTO was correct in denying it.... I searched for another attorney to take over and fight for me, however no-one wanted to take over the case because no-one felt like they could overcome this particular USPTO office action, given the other mark that was already registered. When I came across Nadia, she gave me hope, while letting me know that, as she says it, "USPTO reviewers are human, so I cannot guarantee anything". To make a long story short, our mark is now registered and she did it all with a smile!!! I highly, highly recommend her! I recommend her from the beginning of the application process to avoid certain pitfalls -- she is through, she is reachable, she is knowledgeable!

Avvo Rating

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.
