Outstanding advice on patents, trademarks, IP issues

Our manufacturing company has used Leonard and his team for over a decade to assist us with a variety of issues related to patents and trademarks. I have found Leonard to be clear, concise, and knowledgeable.

He wrote the book

If you are looking for someone who understands ALL the ins and outs of Trademark and Copyright law and can lay it out for you in common sense layman terms, Leonard is the guy. He literally wrote the book on "Art Law". He understands the best way to approach people and I think he shares my feeling tha...t that people are mostly good and deserve to be treated that way util they prove themselves otherwise. I came to Leonard specifically because of his knowledge of trademark law, knowing full well his abilities in many creative areas. I have a very good "mark" and ran into a situation where someone wanted to challenge my registration after being turned down for use in a similar space. They approached this using what I now know is an old trick, threatening to file a petition for cancellation of my trademark. They did this in what I found to be accusatory and insultingly wrong approach. Leonard absorbed the petition along with my comments and immediately saw why I found their approach offensive. Obviously they were looking to come up with an agreement to co-exist. Not out of the question, but Leonard knew that I would have a hard time rewarding the kind of conduct I found so offensive. Their accusations of "abandonment" and "fraud" were both laughable and easily defendable. Taking that well into consideration he is working it out in a logical and protective way. I have huge respect for Mr DuBoff and the rest of his firm. I am happy to have him on my little team. We are a small company and he has been helpful in other areas as well. I feel in good hands and know he will protect our integrity at every turn.

Excellent attorney. Would highly recommend him.

Mr. DuBoff is a exceptional attorney who is committed to legally protecting , and enthusiastically representing his clients. We hired Mr. DuBoff for a corporate acquisition. He was thorough, responsive, worked with complete integrity in our best interests, and kept us informed of the issues and his r...ecommendations. He and his superb office staff treat everyone like family, and it was a pleasure working with such responsible and brilliant professionals. We will definitely engage Mr. DuBoff in the future when we have the need for legal services!

Outstanding Service and Knowledge

Mr DuBoff has represented me and my various business ventures for nearly 30 years. He has always performed beyond my expectations in all matters, whether they be business related or my own personal issues. Over the years I have continually recommended Mr DuBoff to my friends and associates and expe...ct to continue doing so in the future. I am happy to have someone of Mr DuBoff's caliber to reach out to when needed.

More than our attorney, he is a business coach

Leonard DuBoff has been our corporate attorney for 6 years and has gone beyond the scope of legal advice. He shares ideas, asks questions and listens well. Most recently, we spoke with Leonard about closing our business. He didn't talk us out of it, he gave us the legal options we had to chose from a...nd let us take it home to decide. After answering questions about the options he gave, he then offered various opportunities to GROW our clientele (even making introductions for us), if we chose to stay open. Leonard and his staff respond quickly to our calls and emails, with a positive demeanor. Leonard truly cares about his clients and has surrounded himself with staff that feel the same. We have recommended him by mouth and social media to anyone who has needed the best in their corner.

Corporate and incorporation lawyer | Jun 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Leonard was one of my law professors in law school. I was also privileged to share space in his building and enjoyed having him as a resource in areas in which I do not practice. He is kind and enjoyable to work with and is a gifted communicator. Clients we served together often came away understanding complex issues because of how he presented them. He is a also a shrewd tactician who understands the dynamics of litigation and how best maximize a client's advantage. I recommend him for business formation and litigation, as well as Intellectual Property matters. I enjoy my continued good relationship with him and refer clients when the needs arise."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Leonard is a passionate advocate for his clients and goes the distance when providing litigation, intellectual property and business support to his clients. His wealth of knowledge and years of experience make him a valuable asset to his clients and other attorneys. On the matters that I have worked with Leonard to resolve we have always come up with a plan and resolution that our clients were happy with."
