First off... let me say I am most certainly not a writer, nor am I under any delusions of granduer... I did however wanna pay this Firm it's well deserved credit, so I took a stroll down Bluff Point Rd. In Sag Harbor and stood out in the street staring at John Steinbeck's house. I thought of the great sunsets that he must have watched while conjuring his word for the Grapes of Wrath, or any of the many masterpieces he has blessed us and the world with... and then I thought to myself the similarities between him and Jana's work. Like the great master Steinbeck, Jana cultivates her work, she seems never satisfied, always wanting to rework it and make it better, I have had countless conversations with her and watched her use her words like a sword cutting through endless questions to get deep into the direct heart of the matter, only for the sole purpose of wanting better for her client, and the pride of representing her work and what she stands for properly. She believes in the ways of the old, her word is her bond. Not only does she uphold these standards, but she has hand chosen specific lawyers to uphold her brand and firm well. When I say team... I want you to think of the 92 DREAM TEAM!!!!!!!! I'm talking all her lawyers are starters, nobody in this firm is riding the bench. If you want a firm full of second rate bench warmers, then this isn't the place for you, but if you want a finely tuned orchestra playing a symphony, where every lawyer plays first chair, then you have come to the right spot. It's almost as if they are like Voltron, separately they are powerful, but when you bring your business to them they lock together and become unstoppable. Better yet, Think of Jana as Thanos, and all her lawyers are infinity stones, and she has collected them ALL to rule the business lawyer UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!Talking to Caroline, was like a sweet jab from Mike Tyson working his way to the inside, then talking with Erin was like an overhand right upstairs, setting it up for Sejal to come through like an uppercut for the knockout blow. With this team all you business competition won't stand a chance, Tyson in the eighties... one round and they will be done... after reading this review you can sleep well at night knowing you made the right choice... and however long from now when you are rolling in the dough like scrooge McDuck... you can send me an email thanking me...

My wife is an attorney and needed a trademark for her business. So, she applied for a trademark on her own even though that's not her specialty. Lo and behold she got rejected. Over many headaches and trying to re-apply she finally decided to seek help from a lawyer who specializes in trademarks and copyright. That's when we found Jana. We were extremely surprised by her warm and approachable personality. When you speak to her it is like talking to a friend (a very smart friend). She is very nice and can explain things in a way that you can easily understand. Very knowledgeable and right to the point. No big words or complicated riddles. Her team is very friendly and diligent as well. Adam was a great help. We had a few questions along the way, and they replied immediately. Also, they are modernized and send you links to the status of your application so you can monitor it. My wife was very frustrated and even skeptical we would get our trademark because it was a difficult name, but Jana and her team got the trademark approved without any problems or inconveniences. My wife and I were very excited and happy. Jana's firm also offers many other services that are very necessary to have for any business. Nowadays it is extremely important to protect your ideas and your business in general. Jana is just the best choice for you. We are now ready to have other matters taken care of by her. I want to mention that before we found Jana we contacted other firms and it just felt a little intimidating and cold when talking to them. We somewhat expected it because lawyers tend to be a little bit that way when working. Jana is not your typical lawyer. She answers the phone and you can feel a good vibe and energy when you speak to her. She listens to you and she helps you! We are very happy to have Jana for our business now. And will continue to ask for her services. Thank you Jana, Adam and the rest of the team. Billie L. & Felipe C. read more

My partner and I started a commercial cleaning business. We had been using a service agreement we found online but we noticed it wasn't really protecting our business from future law suits. We looked on Yelp and talked to several attorneys. From the very first interaction with Jana on the phone she was warm and approachable. Beginning with the fact that when you call her she's the one picking up the phone and not some receptionist. She's friendly and down to earth, so much so that it felt like we were speaking to a friend rather than to a lawyer. She encouraged us to ask any questions we may have and she was flexible with our tight deadline and adding things we wanted in our contract for a new client. What's most important is that Jana made us feel comfortable and understood how important our business is to us. Because we are a startup company she was generous and even reduced her service fee to accommodate to our budget. We are more than thankful for all that Jana has helped us with and we hope that many more people can be lucky enough to work with her as well. She's a great professional and an amazing human being! Totally recommend her! read more

My partner and I are opening a start-up LLC in New York and every we realized that step of this process creates legal questions. Every decision in this process of the brand formation requires very careful thought as well as time sensitivity. We were able to find Gouchev Law online, along with with many other business attorneys and law firm, however Gouchev Law had great reviews thus we decided to give them a try. We talked to Jana, the owner, who was very friendly and accommodating. Before signing up to work with the firm on a larger scale for our business we were able to test the waters and see what she would be like by having a free consultation. Jana was highly informative of our questions regarding protecting our new business and tax advice. We are the creative minds behind our brand and thus one of our greatest worries is trademark /intellectual property protection and Gouchev Law shed light onto a topic we know very little about. We are looking forward to working with Gouchev Law in the development of our business. read more

I reached out to Gouchev law earlier this year as I needed help understanding the legality of some of the software I was developing as part of a new product. I have a formal legal education but still needed assistance with understanding the minutiae of a pretty new and unexplored legal concept (webcrawlers and webscraping). Gouchev Law gave me a quote that was far below any other firms I reached out to, which really helped our startup afford the initial legal costs that can sometimes be very overbearing. Not only that, but they really went above and beyond and far out of scope of the original request all while remaining within the quoted pricepoint. The report they shared with us was essential in how we developed our webscrapers so that we're as legally protected as possible and helped us to understand the messaging and communication requirements that we'd need to protect ourselves further. We're definitely going to be going back to Jana and her team at Gouchev Law for other projects as our company grows down the line. read more

I considered using Legal Zoom but know of people who got burned with it., Jana at Gouchev Law offers a legal package just for startups that covered all of the basic needs to getting my small business running, incorporation, creating a terms and conditions and privacy policy for our website, an LLC operating agreement, trademark registration, securing our intellectual property, and drafting our business contracts, all at a very reasonable price. And one of the best parts is that Jana went above and beyond to explain every step, be available and answer my numerous questions. In addition to legal services, Gouchev Law was great at connecting me with other services to get a small business up and running: referring to a good accountant, marketing help, designers, insurance brokers, website support, etc. Gouchev Law offers that personal touch that makes you feel so taken care of. I certainly recommend them to anyone who needs an attorney for their start-up or small business. read more

Gouchev Law has been awesome to work with every step of the way! I've been working with them through multiple steps of the startup journey. From quick turnaround times on terms & conditions and privacy policy to working on trademarks and helping decide on funding arrangements, they've been super helpful through all of it. The team is fantastic and I feel more like a partner working with them than a client. My success is their priority. I looked at different firms for a while before finding Gouchev and am glad I did! Their track record with helping startups sparked my interest and after our first conversation I knew they'd guide me along the way and wanted my business to be a success more than anything. I highly recommend working with them and want to thank everyone on the team for all you've done to help so far!! read more

We had an excellent experience working with Gouchev Law for our contract drafting and review needs and acquisition of a company.

If you are looking for an attorney who doesn't hide behind voicemail and email, and who will care enough to listen attentively without an attitude and who can give you a precise answer without confusing you, then this is the attorney you want to speak to. I have worked with many business lawyers, and a really good, sharp, and personable one is extremely hard to come across. Jana represented us on an acquisition of a company in New York City. It went quickly and smoothly because of her. She also negotiated and created a high-level licensing agreement with a key strategic partner, and has been drafting contracts for us on an ongoing basis. Jana and her team give the attention needed and they are great when we need something done urgently. This is the law firm that's our go-to on all legal matters for our business. read more

Absolutely the most important decision I made when starting my business. The foresight and ability to think "outside the box" when creating legal solutions for small businesses like mine are what stand out to me. Jana and her team are extremely knowledgable and passionate about helping new entrepeneurs make intelligent and sound decisions, while making the entire experience a very personal and tailored venture. This is not a "one size fits all" outift. From taking the time to truly listen to my needs to sometimes just being a cheering squad when it all felt overwhelming, the team at Gouchev Law works seamlessly together to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks. And as a first-time business owner/seeker of legal counsel, I couldn't have asked for a better partnership! read more

Jana and her team have been incredibly resourceful to my business. I originally reached out to Jana to help me register my business and she was so good on advising me that I retained her services and she now advises me on all legal matters of my business. She genuinely cares about my business, she is very personable and checks in on my progress regularly which I think is thoughtful, she is incredibly patient with all my requests, explains complicated matters well and always produces desired results. She is very accessible and always responds to my requests in reasonable time and her team are just are excellent as well. As I have become accustomed to her fist class services, I have no plans to work with any other legal team. To me Jana Gouchev and her team are the best. read more

Jana is the best. I had some communication issues with one of the attorneys at the law firm, but Jana stepped in and cleared it all up. She's so professional, calm and full of knowledge. Speaking to her makes you feel comfortable and she's very trustworthy! Because of the communication issues I had, she offered me a complimentary service equal to the same value of my initial service (manufacturing agreement) and I believe that is beyond awesome customer service. I will continue to use their services in the future and years to come because that was my initial plan when reaching out to their law firm to begin with. My advice to you before writing a bad review if dealing with a different attorney at the firm is to reach out Jana ASAP and she will make sure it's fixed. read more

Working with Gouchev Law has been an outstanding experience. I was looking for a business law firm in NYC that had corporate law experience. From the first kickoff call I felt our company was in good hands. The lawyers are extremely responsive and give us absolute confidence and peace of mind. Gouchev Law counsels several of our subsidiary companies. They helped us with a company reorganization with the right holding company structure. They review and negotiate all our contracts, vendor and client agreements as well as IP and dispute resolution. Business law firms that are strategic in their approach are rare, and Gouchev has become an indispensable part of our team. I enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable legal partner! read more

I'm not a Yelper but I felt it necessary to acknowledge Gouchev Law's talented legal team for successfully navigating my company through filing my trademark and utility patent application with the USPTO. Gouchev Law was the 5th law firm I called when I was looking for a business attorney, and I wasn't comfortable with any of them. Gouchev Law was the 6th place and they answered all my questions clearly. I felt very comfortable and confident that this was the right firm, and I ended up being correct. Not only do I have my IP protected, I'm also working with Gouchev Law on licensing agreements now to make more profit on it. Overall a great company with top notch customer service. read more

When I formed my first business, I used one of the popular online legal service to file for my paperwork. There were so many options, I had no idea if I was making the best choices. I came to Gouchev Law when I was forming my second business and had a very different experience. Jana took the time get to know me and my business. And not just my business now, but where I saw it in the future. Jana's knowledge and professionalism provided me with the comfort of knowing I was setting up my company for success. If you want the experience of a big law firm, with the warmth of a boutique firm, there is no better option than Gouchev Law! read more

I can't speak highly enough about Jana and Adam. We went to them for our workers compensation case with a very tight deadline (only three business days) from the state and a huge potential fine, but they were super reliable and helpful. They were very professional, answered all my questions and concerns patiently, and handled the case very efficiently. After asking me for the necessary documents, they took care of everything afterwards. That basically was all I had to do and the next thing I knew was that the state rescinded all of our fine! My best experience on getting things DONE! Thank you so much Jana and Adam!! read more

Jana Gouchev and her gang of brilliant, talented, dedicated legal eagles are the best in the biz. Happily, I found out, firsthand, when Jana -- savvy listener, Quicksilver doer -- patiently tutored me, a trademark neophyte, on how to successfully own my own name (Who knew I didn't?) Female-operated, Gouchev Law boasts a top-notch roster of whip-smart, original-thinking, tough-minded but human, legal advocates (Jana's terrific assistant, Caroline included) everyone enthusiastically on board to get the job done. Moreover, Gouchev serves up a wonderful surprise: that rare, non-lawyerly asset -- a robust sense of humor. read more
