Reviews

I had a traumatic experience with this law firm, unfortunately it was the first law firm I've ever worked with and that taints my trust of all. A few years ago I met one of the lawyers here and he insisted many times that I utilize his services. When I was obtaining trademarks, I decided to go with them. I was told that it would be 1k total to register 3 so I went ahead. The first bill was 1k, and then subsequently I got another for 5k. At the time they were also calling me non stop even when I wrote to them to please use email because I was going through a life threatening family emergency. I don't know if they were billing me each time they tried to call me, possibly. When I later brought this issue up, I was told by the lawyer that he assumed I knew the legal charges after the 1k. He NEVER once told me the rate after the initial registration, EVER. How can he just assume that I would know? Even when I asked him specifically on the phone re: the registration fee if that was the total charge and he said Yes! Then they continued to bill me monthly- luckily that charge was dropped. They ended up only ever going through with one trademark and I paid almost 7k for it. It was NOT WORTH IT.
I Love it, I work here
