J Michael Keyes's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mike is a smart and zealous advocate. Always prepared and knows his subject well."
"Mr. Keyes is THE go-to guy when it comes to litigating matters relating to trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property. He is very professional, and equally approachable. Michael Keyes is the “Atticus Finch” of IP litigation. (Of course, you all remember Atticus Finch from the novel and the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird", right?)"
"We worked together at the supreme court when we were both just baby lawyers. He did fine work, careful, and with heart. "
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked with Michael in connection with the State Bar IP Section Executive Committee and with work for Washington Lawyers for the Arts. He is knowledgeable, energetic, giving of his time, and extraodinarily accomplished. For many lawyers in the Seattle IP community, he is "our man in Spokane." Anyone's Ip work is in good hands with Michael."

"I endorse this lawyer's work."
