Posted by Grisha | February 04, 2010 | Trademark Application

Highly recommended

I first hired Jefferson about 3 years ago, I think, to trademark my business name. He was very clear about the process and we got everything sorted out, even though it turned out to be a little complicated because a somewhat similar business had the same word in their company name, across the country.... I was just glad to have someone go to bat for me. I filled out the trademark application online, before I hired Jefferson, and then it came back with all of these changes, so I looked for a lawyer. The response from the Trademark folks had too much legalese for me! I think he really cares about doing the right thing for me and my business. I occasionally need a lawyer and I go back to him each time. I've recommended Jefferson to other business owners, including my (life) parter!

Most Responsive

Mr. Coulter has assisted my firm with contract reviews and negotiations. He was most responsive, kept me informed and charged a reasonable rate. I continue to use him and would highly recommend him.

We won in Federal Court

Jefferson represented me and my company against one of the most prominent and powerful law firms in the Pacific NW that boasts clients in the league of AT&T and Amazon. The defendants were laying claim to my Intellectual Property and making all sorts of false allegations in order to support their cla...ims to my IP. On the day of the Federal Court hearing they had no less than four (4) attorneys present. In the end it didn't matter how many attorneys they had in court because thanks to Jefferson's strategy WE WON a FULL PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION - something that rarely happens. Not only is Jefferson smart but he always took the time to keep me updated on the case and made himself available to explain things. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
