Very helpful and patient

I called Kevin with some questions and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me clarify the situation I was in and pointed me in the right direction. Didn't try to sell me on anything or get annoyed that I had several questions. He even went above and beyond to look up civil code proced...ures to make sure he was giving me the right answer. I appreciate the time he took on the phone to answer my questions.

Strongly Recommend

Kevin has represented my business in trademark prosecution and litigation matters over the last several years and has done an excellent job. He is extremely knowledgeable in the area of intellectual property and his insight into solving problems has proven invaluable for development and enforcement ...of my brand. I would highly recommend Kevin to any business owner facing litigation in this area or seeking a trusted advisor to help develop business brand.

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.
