We'd like to say thank you and that we're grateful to see Harmony in the last minutes prior to our green card interview. She did an amazing job helping us prepare for the interview and guiding us through other important evidence that we missed. The way she talks and handles situations shows that she's a very experienced and knowledgeable consultant that you can completely rely on. We reached out to Harmony just a couple of days before our interview and luckily she managed to squeeze us in for a zoom section among her tight schedules. We got notified that our case has been approved the day after. Without Harmony's help, the positive outcome we got wouldn't be possible and again we're grateful that we met Harmony and grateful for what she did for us. Highly recommend D&C Law and Harmony for any immigration assistance!

Rosanna Chung is the best out there when it comes to detail, professionalism and honesty.
I had written a draft for estate planning and had her review it. Turns out, I had made so many mistakes and she corrected it so meticulously.
She’s extremely knowledgeable, precise and compassionate. Thank you for all your help Ms. Chung!

Adam went above and beyond to help settle a business dispute I had with a customer. He reviewed the contract between myself and my customer and sent a letter of demand that quickly resulted in a settlement. He always responded promptly and took time and care in my case. He spared me months of legal litigation and court fees with his counsel and action. I highly recommend Adam and will use him anytime in the future when I need legal counsel.

We were a software start-up in need of complex (to us) legal and business advice to ensure our software IP would be protected. We needed a firm that would "teach us" the why and not just the what. Mike walked us through the process of protecting our IP in the US and abroad and provided us the pros and cons of each step, as well as the financial and legal impact of each decision.
Mike and everyone at the firm were responsive and willing to spend the time helping a growing company ensure its long term viability. They have provided straight forward, sound legal advice around a variety of software, contractual and other legal needs. I'd highly recommend Mike and team for IP, contract, and other legal needs.

I have been working with Mike for almost a year. He was recommended by a mutual friend and has lived up to all my expectations. At an initial visit at his office in SLC, Mike explained in great detail everything I needed to consider to file multiple patents and trademarks; he has been exceptionally easy to work with and responds to questions lightening fast, putting my mind at ease and helping our company to progress with our applications and respond to external communications in a timely manner. His fees have been inline with our expectations and his service and understanding of our requirements have been spot on. I would highly recommend Mike and his staff. Thank You.

Mr Frodsham is the most professional, competent, personable and efficient attorney I have ever worked with. His timely response is unprecedented in the legal field! I have submitted inquiries in the wee hours of the morning and even then have always received responses with 2 hours. He is concise, timely and very knowledgable in addition to providing impeccable client services. I highly recommend him and his firm for any IP legal needs without any reservation.

Mr. Kuester worked on a software tech patent for my company and did an amazing job. It was a challenging piece of work from both legal and technical perspectives but he handled it with striking competence. I'm a lawyer myself so I know a good one when I meet one. There aren't many attorneys out there who operate at Mr. Kuester's sophistication.

I hired Mr. Wiggins when I had an idea for a Patent. He walked me through the process and was very clear on what I could expect. He worked just as hard as I did to get this Patent. I felt so supported throughout the entire experience. I appreciated his honesty, his diligence and hard work. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Mem's name and number came highly recommended by a friend of mine. We met in his office and I immediately knew that I was in good hands. We successfully registered for my Trademark and then filed 2 separate Patent Applications. Mem worked to help me with wording and researching the terms needed for the application of each patent filing. His meetings and follow-ups were always thorough and to the point. He is a fantastic communicator and no matter how little you know about the process, he makes it easy to understand.
I consider Mem to be a partner and one of my most valuable assets because I can rely on him for direction and assistance in defining patent ability. I go to him for discussion before I go to my CAD and Machinist - his inputs have saved me both time and expense at the prototype stages.

I was in an automobile accident that left me in pain and without a car- it was a total loss. John Flanagan was able to successfully secure ample financial compensation for my pain and suffering. But what I found most impressive was his genuine concern for my well-being. The process of hiring an attorney seemed daunting and nerve wracking. John Flanagan made it apparent my health was his primary concern. Because of this, I was able to focus on my recovery while he took care of all the exchanges between the insurance companies. He was always professional and accommodating of my work schedule when scheduling meetings. He was readily available to discuss any questions or concerns I had at any time. I highly recommend John Flanagan.

John Flanagan has been our family Attorney for over 25 years. His services and involvement have run the gambit of car accidents, personal injuries, wills, powers of attorney, general counsel and personal advice, business start-ups and business closings. adoptions, divorces and tort incidents. Our family, in-laws and friends have been very well served for a number of incidents and although when younger, never realized the real importance of a good attorney, John's long term relationship and success is a testimony to his competence, character, integrity and sense of justice in a time where they very difficult to find, if they can be found at all.

I would recommend him and have recommended him to other people and these were also pleased with him. Thanks!

I have utilized the legal services of Dana Robinson for nearly 15 years. I first worked with Dana as the point of contact for diverse intellectual property matters related to a major casino gaming corporation. Dana was consistently outstanding on matters ranging from basic trademarks to extremely complex gaming loyalty programs. When the company was bought out by a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs, intellectual property matters were a smooth transition based on a great deal of forward thinking on Dana's part. After transitioning to more entrepreneurial pursuits, I have continued to utilize Dana's legal expertise and counsel. What was most surprising to me is that Dana has an extensive entrepreneurial background covering real estate, high tech, apparel, and more. He can tackle legal challenges from a myriad of viewpoints not found in many other lawyers. Through corporate and personal matters, I have found Dana to be highly intelligent, professional, innovative, and engaged. Dana is truly an excellent lawyer.

Responsive, professional, and affordable is how I'd describe our company's experience with Radiance. She kept us well informed during every step of our trademark process. Having worked with hourly attorneys in the past, I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about her flat rate billing, but I was totally impressed by the amount of time she invested in answering our questions down to the smallest detail.
As a small business owner, it feels good to have a trusted advisor and strategic partnership [like Radiance] in our corner. We've already begun referring her to our fellow small business owners.

I've used Toya Gavin for various legal issues varying from helping with small business formation to incidents in court where I was a defendant. Toya has always proven her expertise & skill, displayed with an uncanny prowess that is needed in the court of law.
For example, I was unfairly prosecuted for violating a conditional discharge for a traffic matter. Toya first reassured me of my rights, sticking to the facts to comfort me in my position as the defendant. She then used her contacts to skillfully build a solid defense in efforts to submit a motion that would be favorable in my regard.
Her quick thinking and attentiveness is the reason that I was able to prove my innocence, and her defense in my honor was nothing short of impeccable.
I highly recommend Toya in any matter where a truly skilled professional is needed. You won't be disappointed, but more importantly, you will be fought for in a way that let's opponent know that you mean business.

I practice functional medicine and needed a qualified attorney with experience in this area of medicine. She knew exactly how to proceed, what to recommend, reviewed my documents and gave me her professional, legal advice on revising my documents that were appropriate for my practice. She knows the health care industry well, especially the ever growing and innovative area of functional medicine. She completed this in a timely manner and sent them to me for review.
She has excellent attention to detail, she's professional, and she's also incredibly friendly and personable, compassionate and really understands this area of medicine.
She was perfect for the job and I highly recommend her!

I've know max for a number of years. Most of which were spent in a non professional manner as friends, and on stages as members of a band. When I came to a point where I needed some legal representation and advice, I naturally turned to Max. Although I expected his knowledge and service to be top notch, I was blown away by his professionalism and approach.
As working with people who have ties outside of any professional matter can sometimes lead to less comprehensive dialogue, and a more laid back style of communication and commitment, Max and I walked through the details of the work I needed done, laid out a time line of what was needed to complete my request and very quickly registered the final work.
I felt as if I had "lucked out" on finding good representation, and I feel this way totally independently of our personal friendship. I would absolutely recommend Maxwell Felsheim to anybody looking for knowledgeable, personable, representation or even a good saxophone player for that matter!

I started out trying the patent process by my own by filing a provisional application. It was very detailed. I had a different firm convert it to a non-provisional. They took my money but did a horrible job. Always felt like they nickel and dimed me. I went to Jeff and he straitened everything out and got the application allowed which the others could not. He was always available and prompt to reply to my calls/emails. Wish I used him from the start. Don't go anywhere else. Start here with him.

I've known Barry for a few years but recently hired him to help me with my first music licensing agreement. We had a couple calls where he went over, in great detail, how everything works and what I need to be aware of. He made changes to the contract and helped me navigate how to negotiate with the other party.
Hiring him was a great decision and allowed me to go into the agreement with confidence. Would recommend to others and will hire again.

Working with Nadeua Harkavy, LLC firm has been an exceptional experience. Not only did they meticulously handle my case and provide expert representation. I was kept well-informed about every step my case underwent, as they maintained consistent communication to share relevant information. I distinctly remember my chiropractor facing issues with health insurance not covering the treatment expenses, yet Keren and her team adeptly resolved this matter as well. Their professionalism and friendliness are truly commendable. Karen is the best in my opinion, and I would recommend her services. Thank you for making this a very easy and simple process.

I cannot imagine better attorneys. I was in an accident with a long recovery period and they were by my side the whole way. Their knowledge helped me through things I never could have navigated on my own. Leslie and Karen were patient, kind, and supportive of me for over a year until my case was settled. It could have been one of the worst experiences of my life, instead, they handled all of my bills and paperwork, listened compassionately, and fought to get me the settlement I deserved. I am forever grateful and can't recommend them strongly enough.

If you are looking for an attorney who tells you EVERYTHING AND ONLY what you WANT to hear but then turns around and charges you beyond what you could possibly afford, then this is not the attorney for you. But if you want someone who has the knowledge base to tell you the facts and his educated opinion, along with a genuine interest in people as all being important and valued and you as his client even more so, then LOOK NO FURTHER. I highly recommend at least doing a consultation with Mr. PALM. I thoroughly enjoyed my consultation and look forward to hiring Mr. Palm for all of my intellectual property and patent needs. He is very polite and genuine and takes the time to listen and seems to truly care.

I originally consulted with Mr. Landery for advice on how I should proceed with my music. I had already written/recorded a lot and wasn't sure about the next step. I knew I wanted to make the right one so I figured talking to an IP attorney would provide me with the information I needed. Thankfully I stumbled upon Mr. Landery. He not only gave me options but even offered to show me how to do a few things myself so I could save some money. I'm a struggling artist so every little bit helps. After doing that, how could I not hire the guy?

He quickly showed his understanding of intellectual property law, which you expect when you hire legal advisers, but he has demonstrated an almost uncanny amount of intellect in the technology areas of asset protection, security, encryption, authentication, telecommunications and data leak prevention. He has been an ally in the process of property protection.

What a Copyright Lawyer Can Do for You
A copyright lawyer specializes in helping individuals and businesses protect their creative works by navigating the complexities of copyright law. They assist with registering copyrights, enforcing rights against infringement, drafting licensing agreements, and advising on the fair use of copyrighted material. Whether you're an author, artist, musician, software developer, or content creator, a copyright lawyer can help ensure your intellectual property is legally protected and monetized appropriately.
When Should I Hire a Copyright Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a copyright lawyer in the following situations:
- Registering a copyright: While copyright protection exists upon the creation of an original work, registering your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office provides legal advantages, such as the ability to file a lawsuit for infringement and eligibility for statutory damages and attorney's fees.
- Enforcing your rights: If someone is using your work without permission, a lawyer can help you enforce your rights by sending cease and desist letters, negotiating settlements, or filing infringement lawsuits.
- Defending against infringement claims: If you're accused of infringing someone else's copyright, a lawyer can defend you by assessing the validity of the claim and representing you in negotiations or court proceedings.
- Drafting and reviewing contracts: When creating licensing agreements, work-for-hire agreements, or transferring ownership of a copyright, a lawyer can ensure the terms are legally sound and protect your interests.
- Fair use assessment: If you plan to use copyrighted material under the fair use doctrine, a lawyer can evaluate the risks and advise on compliance to prevent potential legal issues.
- International copyright concerns: If you need to protect your work internationally, a lawyer can guide you through the process of securing rights in other countries and navigating international treaties.
