Great Help With Strike 3 Holdings

Started 2020 with a subpoena to my ISP from Strike 3 Holdings in a Florida court. Found Steve online and got in contact with his firm. If you've gotten one of these and spend some time poking around online - you'll find Steve's videos about these cases really informing. His videos on how a Motion To ...Quash works breaks the process down pretty well including the pros/cons of going down this path vs settlements. His firm said Strike 3 was previously filing in Federal courts but have had their cases tossed out, and only in 2020 have they been starting to file at the state level. Their firm did not practice in Florida, but was able to find another lawyer for me to file a Motion To Quash and within a week the case was dismissed.

Thank you for the nice words. We work very hard to master internet file sharing and copyright law. Our firm is based in California (with offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego) and we have an office in Arizona. When dealing with Strike 3 Holdings (a prolific filer of federal copyright lawsuits in California and other states), it is very important to have experienced legal counsel to represent you. We have seen legal demands as high as $50,000 for alleged file-sharing of their movies, (and high demands from Malibu Media - another file sharing Plaintiff who has filed thousands of lawsuits). While you might be led to believe these parties may not be interested in harming or crippling you financially, make no mistake, these attorneys are out to get what they can and having an experienced BitTorrent litigation attorney in your corner is well advised. Thank you again! Steve

Stopped Bogus Legal Action

Steve and his office of professionals stepped in to stop a action against me by another attorney whose main objective is to scare and settle. He had the right experience with such matters, acted professionally and soothed my fear that I'd face extensive legal costs as a result of an unjustified acti...on by the opposing attorney. I highly recommend his services for anyone that might face legal issues that jeopardize their well beings and livelihood.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. We really appreciate it. Yes, there are a lot of "copyright trolls" and "photo infringement trolls" out there and movie companies that routinely demand $50,000 for file sharing their videos. Many of the lawyers are good people just doing their job, but there are other "tough guys" who like to shake people down for extortion settlements (as my clients say) or "shame settlements" as the Courts have called them. We have a strong track record of success dealing with copyright infringement matters of this nature, and we are glad we were able to achieve a fantastic outcome in your case. Have a great 2020!

Text Book Definition of Professional

I truly believe Steve and Lisa were Heaven sent to protect the innocent and unaware with regards to the temptations of the internet. Although several thousand miles away they did not hesitate to represent me. They asked noting of me other than to be honest and forthcoming. My case had unforeseen twis...ts and turns yet Team Vondran persisted and prevailed on my Families behalf. I am forever grateful to them and for what they do for the Privacy community at large. We are blessed to have them on our side. Semper Fidelis

We appreciate the service military members have given to our Country and when possible, we seek to return the favor by offering pro bono or even "low bono" cases to assist those in need. In this case, we fought hard on a pro bono basis and were able to achieve great results through the strength of advocacy. When you are fighting for good people, with a good cause, it makes us proud to be able to serve veterans the way they have protected and served our great country over the years. Thank you for taking your time to share your experience with our California copyright infringement law firm.

Outstanding resolution to my license requirements with AutoDesk

Steve Vondran was instrumental in assisting my small architecture firm to resolve the licensing requirements with AutoDesk for three AutoCAD licenses. I felt very confident in his experience and expertise in finding a positive solution with AutoDesk and their attorney. I highly recommend Steve.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to post this review of our Autodesk audit services. Autodesk has a long history of going after architects who use their AutoCAD, LT and other products. Getting an audit demand letter from Autodesk internally, or their preferred law firm Donahue Fitzgerald in the San Francisco Bay area can be very intimidating. Our goal for all of our clients is to keep the audit confidential, avoid any "onsite" visits to the "facility" of the client (their EULA terms of use may give them this legal right believe it or not), and to seek to resolve the case confidentially (to stay out of the online "law of the press" and to negotiate the best possible terms of settlement. Software licensing compliance audits are a specialty practice area and best handled by a very experienced law firm. To our knowledge, there is no firm that has handled as many Autodesk licensing cases as we have. This includes both small companies (1-5 employees) on up to very large architect, design and engineering corporations. Thank you again for putting your trust in us! Steve Vondran, Esq.
