"I hired Anthony for a trademark clearance opinion and filing strategy for my software company's name. He delivered two detailed written memoranda four days earlier than promised. What I valued most was his honesty: he explained the risks plainly, gave me real cost ranges for the worst cases, and never pressured me to buy more services. He answered every follow-up question clearly and quickly. He also spelled out each step and what it would cost before I committed. I felt informed and respected throughout. I'd gladly work with him again."
