Shimokaji & Associates, P.C.

I have used Michael and his firm to handle many high tech IP matters (engineering to medical devices) over the last few years and have been greatly impressed with the quality and efficiency of the work performed. As such I see no need to hire the more high profile firms that simply perform the same but charge considerably more.

It's was truly a pleasure working with Michael!nHe was very professional, knowledgable, and strategic during our meeting! He provided valuable insights into possible pitfalls the company might face when working with the US Patent office and the FDA. He reviewed my patent and was able to identify weaknesses and strengths quickly and then translate the "legal language" in easier terms to comprehend. nWell done!

I am part of a team of undergraduates that are trying to take an idea further. We reached out to Michael with a couple questions on the next steps we should take in order to protect our invention. He was very helpful by pointing us in the right direction and clarifying some things that we did not understand about the legal process.

Where do I begin...I guess I will tell you about our experience with the Shimokaji LP firm. We were in a very bad predicament, that would affect our family's future. We were told straight out what might be the very best scenario along with the very worst outcome. It was tough to take in, but so necessary in order to prepare for it.nDuring this time if we had any questions or wanted to know what was happening, big or small, we would email Michael Shimokaji. He would get back to us ASAP, at most 24 hours or less, and in some cases it would be in minutes (I couldn't believe it))!!nWell I'm sure you would like to know our outcome. We couldn't believe it when he told us. With Michael's great negotiating skills , it was even better than we could even hoped for. It didn't affect our family's future!!!nWords can't express how lucky and grateful we are to have had them on our side. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Great to work with, very knowledgeable. Straight shooter - will tell you things as they are, no sugar coating. Great customer experience. Thank you.
