This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Brilliant lawyer. Very experienced and professional. Simple amazing!

I have worked with Otto Oswald Lee and his team - especially Leila! I am very grateful to have them represent me for my IP case. Otto has a very brilliant team that you can trust. Throughout the litigation, I felt like I was in good hands. Communication is very responsive and informative, I have defi...nitely learned a lot and appreciate the guidance IPLG has offered me. Highly recommended!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very professional. Best team. Quick resolution.

My company have been wrongly accused of infringing someone else's patent. Other lawyers either didn't want to take my case or demanded unreasonable fees. I was happy to find Intellectual Property Law Group and work with Mr. Lee, Jenny, and Leila. They took my case the same day I called. I received fr...equent updates about the status of my case. Mr. Lee made sure he understood every small detail of my situation so he can defend me effectively. Within a few weeks the case against me was dismissed. I couldn't be any happier! I highly recommend Mr. Lee and his team.

Friendly and Thorough

Our company recently hired Jenny Hong-Gonzales from Otto Oswald Lee's legal team for the purpose of drafting some contracts for us. She was very easy to communicate with and kept us in the loop through the entire process. Outstanding follow through and service. We will be back again!

A lawyer you can trust like a close friend

Otto is a special lawyer. We hired him for an IP related case. Not only he and his team are very professional and knowledgable in handling our case, but also he treats you like his best friend. He would even give us suggestions on our business and introduce a potential client to us. When you work wi...th Otto, you can feel his warm heart as a close friend, not a distant lawyer. He holds your hand going through the hard time, and put your interest on top of his own's. I highly recommend Otto to anyone who wants to get a top tier lawyer he/she can trust.

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.
