Experienced and Pragmatic IP Lawyer

Susan has a great sense of how IP strategy should align with Business strategy. She was interested in understanding our technology as well as our business model to be sure that we were developing a valuable, defensible patent. Prior to hiring Perkins Coie, I had read blogs that warned against going... to big law firms as an early stage start-up in order to conserve cash and have more personal attention, but Susan and her team proved just the opposite to be true. No time was wasted educating them on the science and the entire legal team felt like part of our company throughout the process. I would recommend Susan to anyone whose IP protection is essential to their company's business strategy.

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.
