Thanks Rich! I appreciate it!

I came to Richard for help with a trademark application. Not only is he knowledgeable but he is very thorough with the details. He walked me through the whole process and kept me updated on the communications from the USPTO. A true professional. Richard excels in all aspects. If you're looking for a ...trademark or patent attorney, Richard is your guy! Thanks Rich!

Highly recommended. Quick to respond.

I have had the opportunity to work with two previous patent lawyers on other projects prior to meeting Rich and all I can say is that I wish I would've had met Rich for my previous projects. He is very professional, very knowledgeable, very meticulous and very thorough. From our very first meeting h...e had a full understanding of my product and was able to provide great feedback. He was great at communicating with me and keeping me in the loop he always responded right away. That is something that I appreciated very much given my previous experience when I wouldn't get a response for several days to weeks. It has been a real pleasure working with him and I feel I finally found somebody with whom I will continue to work in my future projects.

None needed.

He asked for a letter from someone I worked with and, then didn't higlight any reason I would have to ask a third party for such information. When I called the number listed on his website telling him that I did not feel comfortable asking for unique 3rd party request of information-- the phone numbe...r dialed then played what appeared to be a disconnected phone service message. ???

Dear Mr. John - - - - , Once again, I do not believe the FBI, CIA, and NSA are tapping your phones or that they have implanted bugging technology into your brain. I don not believe you possess secret information that could bring down the government. You were mistakenly referred to my patent law office by the CCCBA for a free consultation (I received no compensation). I have since spoken with the CCCBA about their deficient client-screening process. You had already seen 2 previous attorneys who had also courteously escorted you out and had likewise assured you they could not help you. I too am sorry we could not help you; I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

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.
