Levine Bagade Han LLP

I have recently had an occasion to work with the FIrm on a significant matter over the last nine (9) months or so, and I felt it was appropriate to write this review. Frankly, I was more than a little surprised to see several reviews posted several weeks ago, allegedly made by three separate reviewers. Candidly, the comments are so vastly different from my personal experience with the Firm that I felt like additional investigation was warranted. Sure enough, my intuition was correct: it appears that the reviews are totally bogus. Point in fact, two of the three postings are made by parties who either have used a false identity or more likely, simply do not exist. The third individual, Michael Evans, is real, but a further search reveals his only connection with the Firm is approximately ten years old! I am not sure what his beef is, or why he feels compelled to write such slanderous drivel, but the fact is, whatever his motivation, even if he believes it to be true, it is significantly dated, and as a result, misleading at best. More importantly, his so-called "experience" with the Firm is vastly different and markedly inconsistent with mine and countless others as well. The professionals I have dealt with at the Firm have been attentive and responsive, and their work has been sound and of the highest quality. Absolutely, no complaints. Without any hesitation or reservation, I would highly recommend David and his experienced team to anyone in need of assistance with patent law issues.

As a seasoned inventor and entrepreneur with over 100 issued patents I have used many of the leading Bay area IP firms and all I can say is run away from this Firm as fast as you can! My experience was and continues to be dismal. The work, time delays, failure to communicate and overbilling is rampant.

TERRIBLE IP FIRM! Yes this small understaffed firm is cheap but you get what you pay for and in this case it may cost you your business. The patents and due diligence work this firm provided were VERY POOR QUALITY and we ended up having to refile all our patents with another real law firm WSGR. Stanford, UC Berkeley and all the top Venture capital groups, and Incubators recommend NOT USING THIS FIRM! I just wish I would have know that before wasting a great deal of time and capital.

Clearly the worst IP firm in Palo Alto. Sure they are small and cheap but you will end up paying in time and money. This firm managed to screw up every aspect of our filings resulting in a worthless patent and significant loss of precious capital and time. Venture firms, Angel investors, Stanford and local incubators will NOT recommend this firm and I only wish I would have know that prior to engagement! Contact WSGR or DLA Piper.

After having a frustrating experience with another lawyer, I thought I'd go and write about the positive experiences I have with a great law firm! I've been working with Levine Bagade Han, specifically with David now for about 4 years. They have worked with us on a number trademark and patent filings. Communication the whole time with the firm has been clear, prompt, and on time. I like that they aren't just out to bill you for every hour for every little detail. They communicate well in advance on rate increases and they are very fair on what gets billed. They also advise you on when it's worth it to file patents or not, and are great resource just to have on hand. I especially appreciated that David offered to walk me through how to file my own trademarks, "because your cases are so simple you can do them yourself." Talk about looking out for the client first. I can't recommend these guys more strongly.
