Highly recommended trademark registration attorney for small business

Leila helped me with a complex trademark matter for my small business. I had (naively) filed the trademark registration on my own and received an office action. I was referred to Leila through a friend who is also her client and she was extremely responsive. She took the time to explain all my option...s in my initial phone call, even though I hadn't yet signed on as a client. I appreciate her reasonable rates and her attention to detail and fully recommend her as a trademark registration attorney to anyone who is interested in registering a trademark in the US.

One of the top startup attorneys in the SF Bay Area!

Leila assisted us with setting up two startups and handled everything from forming the business entity to drafting all the service agreements and negotiating the third party vendor agreements. She is highly knowledgable far beyond her years in practice and is extremely dependable and quick to respond.... Leila works hard to provide the extra care and service that most other law firms cannot because of their high overhead. She does a great job at establish long-term relationships with her clients and I look forward to keeping her as an integral part of my team for years to come.
