Lightfoot

Dawson has been assisting me with a project over a period of 2 years. Dawson's knowledge & expertise in patent law and the intricacies that go with that field have been reassuring thought this process. His guidance & ability to see all parties perspectives when a patent pending product is about to... go to market has been my ace in the hole when dealing with the other parties that are involved. His demeanor is professional, polite, & straight talking. Glad to have him on this project & future ones to come. Highly recommended.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Dawson on multiple matters and both the experience and results consistently exceed expectations. He possesses a unique blend of technical expertise in intellectual property, business acumen and practical judgment that goes far beyond other practitioners in his field. Dawson has an uncanny ability to distill highly complex IP concepts and procedures into terms that the client can easily understand and use to make well-informed decisions. He is very solution-oriented towards what is best for the client's interests. I have recommended his services to others and the feedback is stellar. Most importantly, he is a great person and conducts himself, personally and professionally, with honesty and integrity. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of IP counsel relating to their ideas and/or business."

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.
