Patent Infringement Consultation

Ross Brandborg

"Ross provided exceptional legal counsel for our recent hardware FTO and clearance analysis. We were operating under a strictly accelerated, one-week deadline, and Ross exceeded all expectations. He quickly grasped the complex mechanical geometries of our product and delivered highly detailed claim charts and a robust non-infringement opinion ahead of schedule—even while navigating a holiday weekend. His communication was consistently prompt, clear, and professional. If you need a patent attorney who combines deep technical acumen with incredible speed and reliability, I cannot recommend Ross highly enough."

Trademark Risk Assessment

Brent Xavier

"Worked with Brent on a legal review for my business and would absolutely engage him again. Two things really stood out: speed — he turned around a comprehensive deliverable on a tight timeline — and framing — the entire analysis was built around enabling the business, not just flagging risk. He's sharp, knowledgeable, refreshingly practical, and treats founders as partners. Highly recommend to any founder looking for outside counsel who actually thinks like an operator."

Startup Privacy Document Review

Brandon Northington

"Brandon was thoughtful, responsive, and very practical throughout the engagement. He took the time to understand the actual product and platform structure rather than forcing generic boilerplate onto the business. The review was detailed, actionable, and clearly grounded in real startup/platform experience, particularly around privacy, moderation, liability, and global launch considerations. Turnaround was fast, communication was clear, and the final documents felt significantly stronger while still aligned with the product vision. Highly recommend."
