Lech Law, LLC

I met with attorney Jeff Norris of Standley Law Group in September of 2022 to obtain help in securing a TM and patent for my company and our product(s). I provided comprehensive background work, including nearly-completed trademark application forms, TM research information, and drawings for a simple design patent. I sought help specifically defining the "Date of First Use" and filing the application for the trademark, and then drafting the patent. I had received quotes totaling $4,350 for both tasks from other firms operating on a flat-rate. Standley LLP, however, works on hourly rates. I welcomed this, as I had already done most of the work and did not want to pay for already completed actions. I was quoted $2,250 for the retainer, with charges billed on a per-hour basis and extra hours billed if denials/refusals arose from the USPTO and for draftsperson fees if the provided drawings were unacceptable. I was ultimately billed $10,793.50, including $5,950 in the first month. The retainer was depleted in the first eighteen days, which seemed excessive given the prior consultation's scope. For example, I was charged $3,740 for TM and class research, although I had already completed/provided that and only requested the previously mentioned assistance. Mr. Norris acted as a go-between with the draftsperson and myself, resulting in email charges totaling $3,910 even though the draftsperson only billed $400 for his work/drawings. Due to credits I received for disputing overcharges, I ended up paying $9,793.50 but feel I was grossly overcharged given the unnecessary work performed and the details of the initial consultation. Mr. Standley refused to admit to overcharging (despite offering a $1,000 refund if I agreed to an NDA) and blocked further communication. Learn from my mistake and avoid this firm at all costs!

I found Standley Law through a referral from another firm, which I think is pretty awesome. They helped my company navigate protecting IP that my company has along with getting trademarks in place. I highly recommend them!
