Frankly, I can probably talk you through this during a $100.00 in-person or telephonic consult, and you can take it from there yourself without paying me additional fees.

I can probably talk you through common law and state trademark protection for the price of a consult: if you want to try to register a federal trademark, you may want to hire me to do that.

I Highly Recommend Mr. McDowell

Mr. McDowell was not only courteous and professional but he was highly informed about my case. He dealt with the issues straight away and was able to obtain fast results. His ability to communicate the law to others made me feel I had a clear picture of the situation and how we needed to proceed. Pay...ment was easy and very clear. I will be forever grateful for the quality service and timely manner in which Mr. McDowell resolved the case.

Lonnie represented the interests of his clients skillfully, but did not unnecessarily draw a difficult family dispute into prolonged and destructive litigation. We were able to work towards a reasonable settlement for all parties."
