I was looking for an IP attorney to help me get a trademark. I found Trevor on Yelp and he had…read moregreat reviews. When I reached out to him, he was very responsive. He was able to explain to me the following: 1) he would research the USPTO and let me know if there were any other trademarks under the name; 2) the costs and fees that would be involved; 3) what he does and doesn't do (for example he doesn't do lawsuits, cease & desist because he is not that type of lawyer); 4) the process and timeline of filing a trademark; and 5) what I will need to do to demonstrate "Use in Commerce". After researching different Trademark attorneys, I am happy I chose Trevor to do this for me. So far, I am very pleased with him. He is knowledgeable, accessible, and thorough. Also, I appreciate how he stays in communication with me and has kept me abreast of every step occurring so far with the application filing process.

There are few compliments that I can bestow upon any individual that meet the criteria of MENSCH…read morebut Josh is one of them. I say this because he took time out of his busy day to speak with me over the phone (for free) and listen to the predicament that I found myself in having to do with my organization. Joshua asked me to forward my email communications and after he reviewed them, knew exactly how to respond. He resolved the matter (within 48 hours) and saved my organization lots of undue stress and potential liability. What matters here is that Josh LISTENED to me and provided solid expertise and advice. In my case, my organization was dealing with a nasty and threatening letter related to possible copyright infringement. But as I learned, this accuser was highly unethical and Josh made it abundantly clear that their tactics were not to be directed at our organization. I want to say out loud, THANK YOU, JOSH. You were the fourth law firm I contacted and you picked up the phone. The other firms placed me in "waiting" limbo. I recommend Josh wholeheartedly if you are looking for legal advice and potential representation. You will get first class treatment!

I had past work on a revocable trust done by this firm about seven years ago and was satisfied, and…read moreso when I decided to setup a special needs trust, I turned to them again. Unfortunately this time around my account received only sporadic attention, playing out over the course of a year. At one point, given the lack of attention, I suggested that maybe I should work with a different firm but was assured they could complete this work for me. I can only assume they had a lot of business, and that I was small potatoes in terms of the scope of the work, so my account kept getting shoved aside for more lucrative work. When I severed, I was told I was told that the paperwork that had been done would be sent to me, but it has never arrived. So disappointing. Finding another firm and starting over.
