Emil J Ali

There are very few ethics attorneys in the intellectual property ("IP") space. Fewer still are competent to tackle ethical questions about trademarks and patents at the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"). Emil has previous work experience with the Office of Enrollment and Discipline ...at the USPTO, making him uniquely qualified to offer IP ethics guidance. I like his pragmatic application of ethics law for IP practitioners who turn to him for guidance on thorny ethics questions. Because I practice in this area of law, Emil is a great attorney to consult with about those questions. This helps me rest easy knowing I am working proactively with a highly qualified attorney to avoid issues down the road who has seen the inner workings of the USPTO. He has helped me clearly navigate difficult questions I encounter as an IP (specifically trademarks) practitioner.

Emil was recommended to me by a former colleague. He is an excellent attorney and is extremely knowledgeable about his areas of practice. Emil quickly brought himself up to speed with my legal issue and greatly helped. I can recommend him because he is highly communicative, he returned emails and ...calls quickly. Emil clearly explained my legal options and helped me choose the best path forward. He worked tirelessly to resolve my issue and I am really grateful for his help. Based on my experience, Emil is someone I can easily recommend to others.

I was connected to Emil by a colleague when I decided to depart my previous firm and start my own RIA. He was instrumental in helping me understand the terms of my employment agreement and formulating a plan for my exit. As expected, things got a bit rocky after my departure and Emil's guidance was a...bsolutely vital. He got me through a very tumultuous and stressful time and was so helpful and supportive, not to mention incredibly responsive. His legal guidance was essential and I am grateful to have him on my team!

A few years ago I had a disk replacement in my neck. This surgeon was widely known and had a well versed staff. Not long after the surgery I was advised the insurance claim had been denied. I tried everything to solve the problem. The 30K bill was now mine. I needed counsel. Few lawyers want to g...et involved in a small claim such as this, but Emil did. He took on a huge insurance company and my employer, because my company was self insured. After months of terrible, unprofessional treatment, Emil’s perseverance and skill won out. The bill was paid. Emil took the time to listen to me and understand the problem. I would refer him to anyone needing legal advise.
