Welcome to The Law Offices of Steven C. Vondran, P.C. ("Vondran Legal"). Home of Attorney Steve™ and Copyright Watchdog™

As we like to say, "this is not your Daddy's law firm." We do things differently. We don't charge for copies and paper clips or staples. We don't double We don't load three attorneys on your case and try to rack up a large legal bill. We aren't stuffy. We are responsive and effective. We offer tenacious legal representation and low flat rate legal fees for mant non-litigation cases. Some cases we may also able to take on a contingency fee basis (for example photo infringement recovery or right of publicity cases).

The types of cases we take vary, but basically we handle the following types of legal issues:

Software audits with business software alliance ("BSA"), Autodesk, SIIA, Vero, Siemens, Adobe, Microsoft, Apple and others
Torrent p2p file sharing defense (allegations of illegal download of Strike 3 Holdings, Malibu Media and other movies)
Photo infrigement cases (representing both Plaintiff and Defendants)
California right of publicity cases

____________________________________________________________________

Top 5 reasons our firm might be a good match for you:

1. You don’t want a law firm that charges you to make copies, or charges you for staples, postage fees, or paper clips. This is just silly and we won’t do it.

2. You don’t want a long-winded lawyer that pontificates on and on, never really explaining anything to you, and then sending you a bill for the all the time. Lawyers must be concise, honest, straight-forward and to the point. That’s what we do.

3. You do not want to hire a law firm and then have three lawyers working on your case, each billing time (“triple billing” or “double billing” by a partner and associate). This wastes your money and is honestly a slap in your face.

4. You want a firm that solves problems and not creates them. We fight for you, we are in your corner, and we want to get your legal issues resolved as bad as you do, (hire us so we can handle the problem and let you focus on your work and what you do best).

5. You have serious legal issues that need to be resolved, in the shortest amount of time possible, and at a fair and honest price.

Strike 3

Words can not explain how grateful I am to have found Steve and Lisa. It felt like my life was crashing with a mixture of worry, stress and uncertainty. They both gave their advice on how they would handle the case. I would recommend being honest with them and they will help you. Thank you again team! Anyone that is in the same predicament as me do not hesitate to reach out to them. Highly recommend.

Strike3 Settlement

Found Steve's LinkedIn post about Strike3 lawsuits and liked the neutral tone of presenting the issues and facts. No overpromises or fear mongering. During the process, Lisa and Steve were very responsive to updates and answering any concerns. In the end, the settlement was very reasonable and was handled in a quick timeframe. Highly recommended!

Response from Steve Vondran August 9, 2023

You hit on a big point - we don't like to sugarcoat things. When you get a Strike 3 ISP subpoena, it is a serious matter that needs to be taken very seriously and handled by an experienced professional. We tell it like it is. We don't make false unrealistic promises to try to get your business. My brother once told me years ago, that people respect you for telling them what they don't want to hear. Luckily, we have a strong track record of securing fair and reasonable settlements while always paying as much attention possible to customer service. Thank you for being a great client and for sharing your experiences with others. All the Best, Steve Vondran, Esq.

Best Attorney

I was involved in an ISP subpoena case and sought the help of Steve and Lisa. They were professional, efficient, and friendly. I was so nervous and worried at first. They explained to me what would happen next and what could happen. They put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. As the case progressed, they kept me informed and answered any questions I had. Steve was also an excellent negotiator. In the end, the case was settled quickly with the best deal I could get. I really appreciate their kind help, especially when I was at my most helpless. I would highly recommend Steve and his team to anyone in my situation.

Successful Software Compliance Mitigation

“Working with Steve and the Vondran legal team was a great experience. They were able to give me a voice with an opposing software compliance legal team representing a multi-billion-dollar company that was not listening to my position. This resulted in mitigating a $89,000 compliance fee that was unfounded to a settlement agreement of less than $5,000, which was fair and validated our company’s good intentions with the opposing software company. Our final fee was in alignment with our standard annual subscription expectations. If anyone is getting hit with unfair penalties or compliance threats from large software companies, especially without any warning or prior notification to the users of the software, the Vondran legal team is an excellent choice to ensure a fair and civil resolution on the matter. Paul T. – Owner, CAD drafting firm”

Response from Steve Vondran April 27, 2023

Thanks for the great comment, and we're glad Vondran Legal® served your interests well. Yes, when the economy gets tight, many software companies ramp up their compliance efforts in order to create a "profit center." When this happens, they can tend to get VERY AGGRESSIVE and see if they can hit business owners with MAXIMUM PENALTY. That's where we come in to help create a strong case for our clients, and to seek a fair and honest resolution if one is needed. Having handled hundreds and hundreds of software audits and EULA license compliance matters, we are thankful that you put your trust in us. All the best!!! Steve Vondran, Esq.

Best infringement attorneys

Hi This is my first review, but I wanted everyone to know how much the Vondran law firm helped me.

They were very knowledgeable about my situation and closed my case quickly! I would recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney!!!!!!

Strike 3 Holding Subpoena

Steve and Lisa provided their legal expertise and resolved this Strike 3 Holding Subpoena. I consulted with quite a few attorneys before I decided to hire Steve as my legal representative. Their extensive knowledge of understanding and experience not only helped me to resolve this matter quickly; they negotiated a much better settlement fee which is very acceptable based on my circumstance. Aside from their level of expertise, they are very responsive and thorough. I highly recommend Steve/Lisa. I voluntarily write this review to praise their professionalism.

HI, and thank you for this Sterling review of our legal services in the area of Intellectual Property (copyright infringement defense). We know these cases are stressful for our clients and we do everything we can to try to ease the anxiety, and settle the case as quickly as possible, and in many cases, anonymously. Many times, our clients have discussed their case with other BitTorrent lawyers and after reviewing their options, we get a large number of clients that retain our firm. When choosing a copyright defense law firm, it is important to have an experienced attorney who understands the issues and can best handle your case. We are sincerely glad you choose to work with Vondran Legal® on your case. Thank you again for taking time out of your busy day for this nice review. Attorney Steve®

Subpoena to Internet Service Provider

Burdened with a copy of the subpoena to my ISP seeking disclosure of of my identity, I contacted the Law Offices of Steven Vondran. Lisa talked me through the steps and what can be expected. Steve was able to negotiate a settlement agreement that was exactly 80% less than the original demand from Strike 3 Holdings. Steve and Lisa have made a real difference in my life. Thank you.

Response from Steve Vondran February 14, 2023

Hi, and thank you for leaving a review. We really appreciate that. Lisa and I appreciate you placing your trust in our law firm.

Stake 3 lawsuit

What a great job. Steve settled my case with Stake 3 holdings quickly without ever diverging personal information and at much less than I expected to pay. I recommend you don't ignore the notice you receive from your ISP and hire Steve immediately.

Response from Steve Vondran October 5, 2022

Hi, and thank you for taking your valuable time to share your experience with Vondran Legal®. We sincerely relish our opportunity to help our clients get out of a difficult legal situation such as responding to a Strike 3 Holdings lawsuit or settlement demand. This company is very aggressive in seeking to enforce its copyrights. We have helped hundreds of clients and settled millions of dollars in Strike 3 claims. In some cases, as was yours, we can settle anonymously. In other cases, your identity gets disclosed (mainly due to seeking a hardship settlement based on medical or financial issues). Regardless, we fight hard for our clients and I appreciate you for recognizing what we do for our clients. All the best, Steve Vondran, Esq.

One of the best lawyer in the Bay you can contact regardless 3 strike holding lawsuit

I was freaking out when I received the mail from the 3 Strike Holding. I spend hours and hours finding all the information that is available online. And trust me you cannot resolve this on your own unless you have nothing to lose. I look up a lot of lawyers for this case, and Steve is the outstanding one with a clean and strong record of winning a favorable deal for his client. And I was not wrong to go with him. His assistant Lisa was the best in that she was very patient with a lot of my "stupid" questions on how the case was going and how she and Steve would resolve it. Finally, she and Steve got me the best deal that I can ever think would be possible. So you will not go wrong with Steve and Lisa

Response from Steve Vondran September 2, 2022

Thank you for the nice words - and as the cliche goes - there are no stupid questions. Federal litigation can be very complicated and we know for most clients they have never had to deal with legal entanglements before. We are cognizant of this, and of the stress involved, and we try to take the stress off your back, make the case understandable, and get you through this with the best possible outcome. I am very pleased you placed your trust in us and that we achieved a favorable outcome. Thanks again, and all the best!! Steve

Great representation

I received a letter from my ISP that Strike 3 Holdings had issued a subpoena to hand over to them my identity and address. This is my first and only time dealing with any legal issues so it was pretty unnerving at first. After some initial research, I retained Steve and his team's representation. Lisa kept me up to date with any developments and communications and was quick to respond to any questions I had. In a couple of weeks, Steve and team settled the case while saving me a couple of thousand dollars on the final settlement. Steve and Lisa definitely provided me with some peace of mind, I cannot thank them enough.

Great team on your side

I hired the Vondran Legal firm for a copyright infringement case from my ISP. Although I ultimately decided to settle the case, Lisa and the Vondran team were able to negotiate a favorable figure for me. The whole case was handled very professionally, and more importantly, very swiftly. I highly recommend the Vondran Legal firm.

Response from Steve Vondran August 5, 2022

Hi, thank you for taking the time to write a review so other people can get a sense of how we work. As you noted, we do try to work swiftly to resolve legal disputes.

Best Defense I could ask for

Steve and his team are nothing short of lifesavers. What I had originally thought would be a reputation-ending, and what felt like life-ending, situation was professionally navigated and redrawn as a life lesson I'll never forget. My damages were brought down from $30,000+ to roughly $6,000 all while keeping my identity and reputation from being outed and exploited by the company that sent me the original notice. Through the entire process everyone that I spoke to was friendly, cooperative, attentive, apt, and incredibly timely. They always worked for what was in my best interest and made that clear without wanting to force my hand on any decisions. They used their knowledge and expertise in very appropriate manners. So if you're looking for an opportunity for your second chance at life in the straightened path, you've found the right defense team. Can't thank Steve and his people enough.

We know facing a copyright lawsuits is stressful in nature, and we like to be the buoy in the water. 2. Timely - the name of the game in Torrent Defense is timing.

My first lawyer

I received an email from a compliance team member and tried to understand what did I do wrong, but the compliance person just thanked me for confirmation of usage and demanded that I pay a huge sum in order to get back in compliance. I got Steve to intervene at this point, sadly my phone was blocked for international calls so we communicated via email only, but he re-assured me that I'm okay. Haven't heard from them since, and if they contact me again, I know who to send them to.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your story. Yes, when it comes to software audits, we deal with the main players day in and day out.

Efficient with time and money

Steve and Lisa have been a godsend for our young and small immigrant family when copyright trouble struck. Our American dream barely survived thanks to their calm and collected help, minimizing the financial calamity that could have sent us all the way back to our home country.

Response from Steve Vondran June 10, 2022

Thank you for the nice comment. We were honored to represent you in your copyright case. It is especially tricky as we live in a land of immigrants and my clients come from a wide variety of backgrounds. One thing most people have never studied in school is copyright laws and how they work. I always remember when Napster came out and many people did not know if it was legal or what not, in copyright cases there are many complexities most people do not understand. We were pleased you chose our firm to guide you through this process to a successful outcome. Thank you for taking the time to post. All the best, Steve

Thank you!

I received a notice from my ISP that Strike 3 LLC tried to obtain my information. Steve team addressed all my concerns and explained how he would proceed in the first call. In the end, he was able to obtain a favorable outcome and I am very happy with the result. Steve give me a realistic outlook on my case and provided me with information concerning my case. He told me that each case is differently and wasn't able to confirm what a settlement amount would be. He advised me of a goal that he was looking at for a settlement range but it wasn't guarantee since each case is different. In the end Steve and his team was able to help me to resolved my case with a favorable amount. I highly recommend Steve and his team if you are in the same situation. The team provided me with relevant information and gave a realistic look on the outcome. They were able to resolved my case under two weeks and got everything settled for me. I was able to reach Steve and his team when I had any legal question concerning my case and they keep me aware of the progress of my case.

I've Never Had A Lawyer Before

When I received papers in the mail saying I had violated copyright infringement laws by sharing a file I had purchased online years ago with a torrent site, I was greatly surprised and astonished. I didn't even know if this was real or a scam. The staggering amount they were requesting from me would probably leave me homeless. I found Vondran Legal by doing a google search. I've never had or needed a lawyer before so I didn't know what to expect. I simply left a brief message explaning my situation on their website, on a Saturday morning. On the very same day Lisa called me. She let me know this is what she does and that she could help me. I retained her as my lawyer and did nothing else. She took over and within 2 weeks my case was over and settled for an amount that I could afford and not be homeless. Thank you Lisa for a wonderful first time lawyer experience.

Response from Steve Vondran April 24, 2022

Thank you for your comment. Most people who contact our IP Copyright law firm are first greeted by Lisa. She is so knowledgeable about copyright infringement (having worked with me for so many years now), that some people think she is handling the case. While she is not a lawyer, she does so many things to help make our clients feel comfortable. From initial fact-finding calls, to file setup, research on the case, and coordinating calls with Steve Vondran, Esq. She is a tremendous asset and I am happy to have her not only as "Frontline Lisee" as I call her (because she is always on the front lines of the legal action) but also my amazing wife of 15 years. Thank you for taking the time to post!! Steve

Response from Steve Vondran April 16, 2022

Thank you so much for the review!! I'm glad you had a great interaction with my law firm. Vondran Legal works hard to make sure our clients are satisfied with both our results, but also with the general experience of dealing with a law firm. We know legal matters are not the top thing on anyone's list of things to do, but we try to take the pain and stress out of that and simplify things so you understand. We also love delivering great results. All the best, Steve Vondran, Esq.

Unknown Attorney | Aug 20
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Steve for many years as a fellow lawyer and have referred several matters to him. Steve is an extremely knowledgeable and capable attorney, but a couple of attributes stand out: (1) he truly cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to assist them, and (2) he is very responsive, which is a feat in and of itself given his busy caseload. One of the first matters I referred to Steve stands out in my mind. This client had an urgent matter with only a couple of days to obtain some sort of resolution. Steve jumped in to help and worked with her outside of his normal working hours to ensure that she received the assistance she needed. Steve is personable, responsive and skilled, and he goes the extra mile for his clients. I highly recommend him."

"One of the many excellent answers of Mr. Vondran particularly caught my attention. It was customized to the needs of the Avvo asker, while bringing a depth of analysis that was of value even to lawyers practicing in the field. These are the qualities that every client should look for when hiring an attorney."
