Steve C. Vondran's response: 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. That does not mean we cut corners or accept lousy deals from companies like Strike 3 Holdings, because we take great pride in reaching fair settlements. We appreciate you putting trust in our copyright infringement law firm. All the best to you! Steve Vondran, Esq.
Steve C. Vondran's response: Thank you so much for the nice review. I really appreciated some of your keywords. 1. Lifesavers - yes, that's what we strive for. 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. When to seek the best settlement, how to time things with the ISP subpoena, etc. 3. Best interests in mind - our #1 job is to take care of our clients, get the best settlement possible, and in many cases to settle anonymously. 4. Knowledge and expertise: Uniourt.com identified Vondran Legal® as the #1 copyright infringement defense law firm IN THE UNITED STATES in terms of number of litigation cases handled. We did this in 2020, 2021 and expect to repeat in 2022. In short, thank you for putting your trust in us and thank you for taking your valuable time to share your experience with the internet community. When it comes to Defending clients accused of BitTorrent copyright infringement, there is no substitute for experience. All the best!! Steve Vondran, Esq.
Steve C. Vondran's response: 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. We have built solid working relationships that allow us to get your case settled without a lengthy period (where most law firms are billing their time and potentially dragging the case on). We cut to the chase and get these companies off your back with the minimal amount of damages. Thank you for putting your trust in us!! Steve
Steve C. Vondran's response: 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
Steve C. Vondran's response: Hi, I appreciate greatly this very nice comment that sums up pretty nicely what we do. We understand your concerns and want to make sure our clients are educated about the process and understand what is going on (especially since most are new to copyright law and litigation). Our goal with our clients is to take the pressure and stress off their backs and take them onto ours. This is what we do and we absolutely LOVE helping our clients get a fair deal that won't send them to the poor house. We sincerely appreciate you putting your trust in Vondran Legal® and wish you all the best in the future!! Steve Vondran
Steve C. Vondran's response: 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
Steve C. Vondran's response: 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.
Steve C. Vondran's response: Thank you for taking the time to comment on our IP legal services. Software compliance audits (ex. EULA or random audits) can be tricky depending upon a variety of factors (have you ever legally owned the software at issue, how many installations have you made, what modules were installed, how long have you been using the software, how many times, what type of profits). For years, we have been helping a wide variety of companies get these disputes resolved including cases with Vero, Solidworks, Siemens, Autodesk, Microsoft, Adobe, SIIA, Business Software Alliance, Synopsis, VB Conversion, and others. Types of companies can include technology companies, architects (ex. CAD software) designers, engineers, media companies, law firms, and even down to small "mom and pop" type of companies. There are very few quality lawyers experienced with handling the wide variety of disputes as Vondran Legal® has handled over the years. We have likely settled and resolved over 500 cases - many with low flat-rate legal fees that our competition is not likely to offer. We appreciate you putting your trust in our IP firm, and hope sincerely you will not need us again! Cheers Steve
Steve C. Vondran's response: You are welcome! Yes, that is a common occurrence in a BitTorrent litigation case with Strike 3 Holdings as Plaintiff, they are ALWAYS trying to uncover your name and address. They want to know who you are, where you work and get a sense of how much money you make (in my opinion). This can factor into what the final settlement amount might be. At times, we can safeguard this information and keep things private, in other cases involving a financial hardship, we may have to turn this over to get a better deal. Regardless, we make sure we know which option is best for you and fight to protect your interests. Thank you for taking the time to comment, we appreciate having you as a client. Steve
Steve C. Vondran's response: Wow, thank you for taking the time required to write such a nice review. It's clients like you that give us the continued inspiration to fight for our clients. You hit on a great word "ANXIETY" having handled hundreds of Strike 3 ISP subpoena cases, I can tell you that most of our clients experience anxiety. Mainly, because you are dealing with the unknown. Second, you are dealing with the legal system which can be a very confusing process. Aside from trying to settle your case as quickly as possible (to get rid of the knot in the stomach that many feel), and get the best settlement possible, we like to make it a part of our representation to explain the process and possibly even learn a thing or two. So, yes we are cognizant of this and like Blake Shelton said "doing our best to make the best of the worst of it." All the best in your future endeavors and thank you for your thoughtful input. We really enjoyed having you as a client.

Steve is one of the leading attorneys in the field of copy write and consumer protection. He is as up to date on the newest changes in this exciting area of law, as anyone. Take a moment to watch his videos and articles he writes and you'll soon realize, if you need representation - Steve is the one to call!

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.
