In mid 2012, Michael Dvoren helped my company resolve a copyright dispute issue in a timely, cost effective, and favorable manner. Michael's continuing guidance to my company in all legal issues has been a godsend for a small business that doesn't necessarily have the biggest budget. Michael Dvoren has provide reliable, professional service from the get go. Michael's advice and service has been invaluable. Highly recommend.

I didn't know who I could trust with my ideas, but I was referred to MIchael and he explained everything that I needed to know. I was very comfortable with his professionalism. I am very pleased with the patent coverage I received.

I am a current client of Michael's and I am pleased to say so. Michael is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He treats his clients with dignity and respect, keeps us informed, and does great work. I would recommend Attorney Michael for any litigation work

I have worked with Michael Dvoren for years now. He has filed multiple trademarks and copyrights for me, and has advised me on various legal matters. I can honestly say that he is one of the best lawyers I've ever worked with. He has a way of explaining the most complicated legal matters in a way that's easy to comprehend. His knowledge of the law is encyclopedic and he always has your best interest in mind. Most importantly, he's efficient and knows what he's doing.

I have consulted with Michael on several intellectual property issues over the years. His advice has been invaluable. He has saved me time and money and is a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend him.

I went to Bivens & Associates based on a recommendation from a friend who said they were excellent attorneys and were very responsive to the needs of the elderly. Unfortunately, what I found is that they are not very responsive to the needs of their clients. The initial intake meeting with Stephanie Bivens and my parents to discuss setting up a trust and their wills, was fine. Stephanie was patient and attentive and seemed to understand what my parents wanted. Unfortunately, she either failed to clearly communicate those wants to her associate attorneys and staff or they failed to understand. The initial set of papers my parents and I received did not reflect the conversations with Stephanie. In spite of asking to have someone call me to discuss (a request made both my phone and email) that was not communicated clearly internally and I had to follow up to find out what was happening. It's one thing to cause me hassle, but when staff started calling my 80+ parents and not taking careful notes and calling back the next day, three times, making mistakes every time, I knew it had got out of hand. Attorneys working with the elderly should understand that multiple calls to elderly parents and making mistakes multiple times can cause frustration and upset at a level that it would not cause younger clients. I emailed Stephanie with my frustration and asked her to call me the next business day - I did not receive a phone call of an email in reply. Interestingly when sent an email terminating representation, I received a response within a few hours. Bivens & Associates would do well to provide that sort of rapid response to clients BEFORE they are being terminated.
