"Excellent. He provided a lot of value and expertise up front, building trust — doing an initial sweep that steered me away from several unlikely options before I ever paid for a full search. I'm sure in many cases that preempts lost money chasing down additional name options that would've turned out to be conflicted anyway. Highly recommend."

He reviewed a complex trademark ownership dispute involving a competing USPTO application and provided a detailed written legal opinion within 24 hours. His analysis was thorough, practical, and easy to understand, and he took the time to explain both the legal and business implications of the situation.
