Won the case!

Tim Billick was a great choice for representation in our trademark case. The advice on approach was spot on and, as a result, we won the case. We were up against a large company that had their own legal department, but that didn't worry Tim at all. We 100% recommend him!

Fantastic!

My husband and I run a business based in Portland, Oregon and worked with Tim to successfully file two trademarks. He was fantastic! Efficient. Informed. Explained exactly what we needed to know, but not more, so the process felt simple and seamless on our end. The trademark sphere can be very confus...ing, frustrating, and a drain on time, so having a knowledgable and trustworthy lawyer to walk you through the steps is huge. Highly recommend!

Fast turn around on trademark search

I worked with Tim on short notice for a trademark search and was thrilled with the quick turnaround and practical guidance on a new company name. He helped provide suggestions on goods and services that were clear to apply for a trademark for and others to avoid. I'll be working with Tim again!

Thoughtful, Swift, Knowledgable

My small business creates games for much larger Hollywood and New York firms. Tim was able to review our contracts quickly (sometimes much faster than his promised target time) and understood our field and needs exceptionally well. My business partner had a number of complex questions, which Tim wa...s able to break down and answer clearly for him.

"I worked with Tim for a couple years, and attest that he is the rare breed of IP attorney who can comfortably move between patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, all in a day's work. While his significant courtroom and deposition experience contributes to his effectiveness, that's only part of the story – what you'll also appreciate about Tim is his Midwestern sensibility, sense of humor, and musician's creative spin."

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.
