Ryan is a highly experienced and so much creative IP lawyer. While he is super helpful for my patent litigation, he provided a very good quality services and great advices with very reasonable fees. I am so glad he is part of my team.
Don't over estimate large firms. I really strongly recommend talk to Ryan as well before you hire an IP attorney.

Ryan was able to quickly conduct a trademark search for our business and included his legal opinion on the appropriate next steps in his results review. He was very fast, very thorough and very affordable (something we have never found in other trademark lawyers). Ultimately, he helped us through the process of actually registering our trademark. I would highly recommend him to any small business that has needs in the trademark area.

Having Christine Chester as my personal attorney, has been a tremendous experience. She's thorough and motivated, and works on my legal
cases on my behalf that has always arrived to a positive conclusion. I recommend Christine, with my highest confidence. As I know that she is incredibly competent, not only with her legal acumen, but with dedication. And for me, every case has been seen through a successful outcome. Sincerely

Christine was amazing throughout the whole process. She has the unique ability to offer a gentle touch when needed and then was able to do what was necessary to meet my needs. She presents herself well orally and is not afraid to use those oral skills to make others surrender to what she is looking to accomplish. I highly recommend her and know if I ever need representation again, she is the one I would call.

Matt has represented me for years in various high profile patent disputes. He has a solid understanding of the law, is a tenacious advocate, and has a very effective style that works well in court and dealing with the other side. Personally, Matt is loyal, a straight-shooter, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend as a first chair patent litigator, both plaintiff and defense.

I first became acquainted with Matt back in Nov. of 2006. I was being sued for patent violations, along with a myriad of other bogus charges. I needed someone who was knowledgeable in patent law, but because of all the other extraneous charges, I also needed someone who knew the legalities of Trade Dress, Trade Secrets, Anti Trust etc, etc.
Honestly, after looking at several law firms, I decided on Matt’s firm because of the reasonable fees. They had a solid reputation for getting good results on a smaller budget than most other firms. I needed someone basically, who I could afford.
Everyone who has been involved in such cases knows that they can drag on seemingly “forever”! Now I know the reason why after living with it for the past 3+ years. When people throw the book at you, it takes time to plead your case. Matt has been able to get this case whittled down to the bare bones, but one has to understand that a certain “chain of events” must occur. Matt has addressed each and every charge, step by step, filing motions, replies, briefs, exhibits and so forth with as much enthusiasm now as the first day I met him. He always has been reassuring, positive and upbeat – and rightfully so, because with each ruling from the judge, came another small victory.
My case was unique in that we had to work in unison with another law firm representing two other parties being sued in the same lawsuit. That meant that Matt had to collaborate with other lawyers. In many cases this could result in a nightmare! Matt and the other lawyers seemed to work fluently together, even when the lead council of the other law firm left in the middle of the case and was replaced by another attorney.
I will never forget Matt’s persistence during a deposition. He knew exactly what he needed to get “on the record” and question after question was asked. The answers came one by one, with no detail left unspoken. I think he rather enjoyed that! All the answers were exactly what he expected. When you watch someone in action like that, there’s nothing better. It’s like watching an artist paint a picture. First you see one thing, then another, and then finally you see the whole picture. Matt had that picture in his mind all along and then we got to see it come to life. I have learned that a lot of skill and patience goes into taking a thorough deposition.
Usually the last thing a person wants is a phone call from a lawyer. Not the case with Matt! First of all, it’s usually good news when he calls. Secondly, he has become a friend over the years and just a really nice guy. I have had the opportunity to meet his whole family and one can just tell that they are a family with strong values, one of those rare kinds of “Norman Rockwell” families (corny but true). I even got to meet his father, who is very well respected in the legal world.
The bottom line is this: God forbid I ever get sued again, but if I do, Matt would be my first phone call.

Nina's strong business knowledge makes her easy to work with - she understands small businesses, in addition to law. I also appreciate that her advice on contracts is always focused on making the deal work, and on staying out of court. The overall result is she provides very cost-effective legal advice.

I've known Nina for more than the 30 years she has been practicing in California. She has always directly handled people I've referred to her or recommended other, better suited lawyers. She is honest in her opinions, capable beyond question in her field, and fair in her dealings with clients and adversaries. She is my go-to lawyer in CA.
If you want a lawyer who keeps your best interests at the fore, then Nina is the person to hire.

The character, and integrity in which Michael Doland conducted himself during a very difficult case should be in every law journal on "how to act”. I wish I could have given him unlimited funds to go after these guys. His style was really responsible to truly not go insane, and keep our family intact. I have no words on how much this means to me. I don’t know our future, but he gave us a future we can move forward with. I think he should be proud. They had all the cards with them, but we had the focus.

Mr. Doland was an amazing resource and advocate for me during a dispute with my business partner and the buyout that followed. He is level headed and realistic about your options, but also personable and friendly. I especially appreciated his patience and timeliness in the face of my anxiousness and many questions.
During my search for an attorney, I was viewed by many other lawyers as too young and too naive to know what I needed to do for my business. In contrast, Mr. Doland let me take the lead and make my own decisions. He interjected only when his experience and perceptiveness were necessary to prevent me from making major mistakes.
Thank you so much for helping me when I needed it the most! I am now the happy owner of a successful company with a great future.

In the last 30 years, I have litigated with and against Larry several times, and I have also watched as he built an impressive law firm.
Larry is very smart and very capable, but I know many lawyers who are smart and capable, and that it not what makes Larry stand apart.
Many lawyers tend to forget the fact that the law is only a tool and that litigation is not an end in itself.
As a result, all too often, the tail often wags the dog.
Because of Larry’s substantial experience in the business world, he approaches legal problems from a business perspective.
Few lawyers do that, and even fewer do that well.
If I had to retain counsel to represent me in a business dispute, Larry would be my first choice.

Ms. Gholston is very experienced and compassionate about family law. She helped my family to develop a custody/visitation plan that would work in the best interest of my child. Ms. Gholston explored all available options and presented various visitation plans that would be suitable for my school-aged child. She was knowledgeable about previous custody cases and was up-to-date with standard visitation laws in Alabama. She is understanding and exceeds the standards when providing services to her clients. She is very professional and focuses solely on her client's needs.

I highly recommend Mr. Nwankwo. He represented our company as outside general counsel negotiating and drafting agreements, handling corporate and regulatory matters, and providing general legal advice. I am an executive vice president of a mid-sized international software and manufacturing company and interfaced with Mr. Nwankwo directly on numerous legal matters. Our industry is highly regulated and complex. No two situations or contracts were the same. With every matter, Mr. Nwankwo was able to quickly understand the key issues and thoroughly evaluate and explain the potential risks or pitfalls. While being thorough with the downside risks, he also has a strong understanding of the real-world applications of the law and can present and advise on potential legal and strategic options from a place of experience (due to his significant senior management experience). Equally as important, he was highly responsive and easy to work with.

Right off the bat she was so friendly, helpful, and diligent in understanding my case, that all worries went right out the door. Not to mention she is hilarious and just all around SOLID to have on your side!

DWD, and Bron specifically, has been great to work with.
I had a pretty straight forward uncontested divorce, but there still is paperwork and hoops to go through that I wanted help with to make sure it's done correctly. Bron was always super responsive and happy to explain, even for such a “simple” divorce. She was very helpful both through email and text, and everything worked out in the time expected, so would definitely recommend DWD.

Great experience! Grace did all the registration paperwork for the trademark for our business. She was very helpful and patient with answering all of our questions (there were a lot). We actually had to change our business name in order to secure the trademark- she was very helpful with that as well. This can be a very complex process- make sure you have a good, knowledgeable attorney to help you through it. Screwups can add a lot of time, $$$, and frustration to this; don't take shortcuts! Overall a great experience, we would highly recommend Grace!!

Grace has been an excellent patent attorney for my company since we started this process 3 years ago. She always took the time to explain our options and advise us.

Grace is always on top of the deadlines and communicating proactively - would recommend to anyone seeking patent protection!

My "issues" with the IRS dated back to 2001...during that 17 year period I must have spent $30,000 dollars in attorney fees in my efforts to resolve it....all they accomplished was temporary "fixes" that resulted in more aggressive actions from the IRS...just when I gave up all hope I was referred to the Randolph Law firm....he, personally, guaranteed to end this nightmare within a year and with the help of his amazing staff, thank you, Christina, it was finally done. My debt was discharged... My nightmare was finally over.....in this case my 5 star rating isn't nearly enough.

His professionalism and attention to detail were truly outstanding. Spencer demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of dental transactions, which made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
What stood out most was his excellent communication throughout the process. He kept me informed every step of the way, promptly addressed any concerns, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. His expertise and thoroughness gave me great confidence in navigating the transaction.
If you're a dentist looking for an attorney who knows the intricacies of dental transactions and provides exceptional service, I highly recommend you work with Spencer Welch.

This is for John Kappel and the entire team;
Incredible work. I went through a divorce thinking simplistic and easy (2020). It became complex. I hired a different attorney from an online found firm, ended firing her, greatest choice made, after I found and hired John Kappel. He made this ongoing case of three and a half years to come to an end with the best outcome, more than I believed to come true. Full sole custody (rights signed by “father”), and a satisfactory judgement, including child support arrearage, with interest. This all signed by attorneys and judge, after John diligently and precisely worked on. He is intelligent and an amazing attorney.

Ms. Morado was absolutely invaluable in helping me navigate a bewildering publishing/art/licensing/permissions debacle in which I was utterly in-over-my-head. What seemed insurmountably complex to me was long-familiar legal territory for her. She lucidly explained to me the process along the way; she was a fastidiously professional steward of time-tracking and invoicing; she graciously interfaced on my behalf with a rather stressful third party; and, in the end, she navigated myself and the other party to a clean, fair, mutually agreeable conclusion. I couldn't be more pleased, and can recommend her services categorically.
