About Jack
In today's competitive and complicated legal environment you must have an attorney who is experienced, knowledgeable, and capable in their fields of expertise. We recognize that few people ever want to hire an attorney. Most do so because of the complexity of the law and their desire to ensure that they will navigate the legal system effectively and efficiently or because they are facing unforeseen and unenviable situations. No one wants to sue to defend their contractual or property rights, no one wants to have their income disrupted by injury or other medical disability, and no family wants to navigate the complexities of the adoptions process without the caring support of a legal team.
No matter your need, we are committed to earning and maintaining the trust of each and every client through honest, open, professional communication, confident representation, and fair resolution of legal problems.

Notable Work
THE ISSUE OF "DILUTION" IN THE AREA OF TRADEMARKS
Dilution occurs when a company uses a mark that is similar to one that is famous and this causes injury to the reputation of the owner of the trademark. Generally speaking a company obtains a trademark to brand a business and establish a certain identity in the marketplace. Dilution is the unathorized use of an existing mark that is owned by one party to further the business of another party.
In order to bring a trademark infringement action against someone on the basis of dilution, the trademark owner must prove that their mark is famous and distinctive and that another company used a similar mark and this caused "dilution" in the market. This means that the other company’s use of a similar mark harmed the value of the famous mark.
This harm will likely be demonstrated when a customer is led to believe that they are purchasing a good from the owner of the "famous" mark when in reality it is a good from the other party. In other words the use of the similar mark confused the consumer and also may likely tarnish the goodwill of the owner of the original mark by selling a product that did not live up to the high standards of the owner of the "famous" mark.
If you suspect that dilution is occurring, it is imperative that appropriate legal counsel be retained to protect the interests of your mark.
