I have to say after just finishing a very long 2 year, drug out divorce from the other side I was more than Blessed to have Kathleen there by my side the entire way. Yes she’s a very busy woman that knows the laws and what’s important and not important. She won’t waste your time on the fluff or the distractions from the opponents. We dealt with a very overbearing other side and she never wavered me in the wrong direction. Is she human, yes and she deals with so many cases at once. She has a job to do and she does it well. I was always impressed that she could remember my case and how to prepare me for it. I think as an individual fighting for your own case, in my case I was fighting for my kids, that was my personal drive and knew I had to stay focused on my case and give her as much detail as I could that would help her fight for me. Surprisingly though her and her team found out things I hadn’t even known about my husband. Pretty shocking but proof that’s she’s always working diligently even behind the scenes as busy as she is. Personally I think the world of Kathleen as a person because she has shown me compassion and shared parts of her life with me that she may never know have changed my heart. Trust her through the process, that’s why we pay the money we do is because she’s dealt with the law for so long. I can’t say that it’s an easy ride dealing with the courts and a raging ex but ultimately she listened to me and fought with me for my kids and I got what was best for them and they are doing fantastic. Huge thank you to Kathleen and her team for always being there!!!

Kathleen did a great job with my criminal cases. She’s listened to me. And answered my questions. She paid attention to everything I said. And she helped me though the process. If I ever need to hire an attorney again , she will be the first one I call !

Chirag Patel is an extremely professional and caring lawyer. Contrary to the common belief that law firms just want to take your money, this one is run by people who actually care about you and want to help out. They follow up and very responsive to your inquiries. Highly recommend using their services

The Patel Law Group was amazing to work with, my husband and I were mostly assisted by Viviana, Danny and Nick and they were so helpful, they answered all our questions and always got back to us in a timely manner. Please don’t hesitate to give them a call for all your immigration needs. Excellent job!

we had initial disagreement with Mr. Patel's office regarding the scheduling. Mr. Patel personally took the matter in hand, and now we just finished the consultation. If I have any immigration need or case to be filed future, it will be with Mr. Patel. I did lot of internet research about my immigration case and there were so many elements that were confusing, but Mr. Patel has reasonable explanation for how it works. I apologize to Mr. Patel for premature review.

We used Jessica Gorsky to create our Trust and she blew us away with her professionalism and vast knowledge of Trust law. Jessica took the time to explain every detail and we had a LOT of questions. She walked my husband and I through the entire process and provided valuable guidance that you would expect to get when planning your future for yourself, your spouse and your children. She helped coordinate numerous calls communicating crucial information between us, our financial institution and her law firm. She anticipated questions, was proactive throughout the entire process and was fully transparent regarding prices which were very reasonable. She has also been readily accessible to answer questions months after we finalized our Trust. We were provided with both hard and electronic copies. There were absolutely NO glitches. Look no further because Jessica Gorsky is the one!

I cannot say enough about the incredible experience I had with Morgan & Morgan. From the moment I reached out for help, I was met with professionalism, empathy, and an unparalleled commitment to justice. The team at Morgan & Morgan truly goes above and beyond for their clients. They took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly understand the details of my case, and then laid out a clear, strategic plan of action. I was impressed by their extensive knowledge and experience, which was evident in every interaction. Throughout the process, I felt supported and informed. The attorneys and staff were always accessible, answering my questions promptly and providing updates without me ever having to ask. Their dedication to my case made me feel like I was their top priority, and they were genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome for me. What stood out most was their tenacity and fighting spirit. Morgan & Morgan is not a firm that settles for less—they are relentless in their pursuit of justice. They handled my case with the utmost care and skill, ensuring that every detail was addressed and every option explored. In the end, Morgan & Morgan secured a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Their hard work and determination made a significant impact on my life, and I will be forever grateful. If you are looking for a law firm that truly cares about its clients and delivers results, look no further than Morgan & Morgan. They are a powerhouse of legal expertise and unwavering support.

That won't happen to me, I said. I am not of that race, nationality, or ethnicity, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t practice that religion, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not of that sexual orientation, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I’m not part of that income bracket, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, I don’t have that disability, and so I did not speak out. That won’t happen to me, I said, until it was physically in my face, had me backed into a corner, and was spewing utter vitriol at me. That won't happen to me, I said, he'd never lay a hand on me, until one day the physical aggression caused me physical pain and injury. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a domestic violence hotline. That won’t happen to me, I said, until thirteen months ago, when I found myself hurriedly packing a bag and fleeing my home, and boarding an aircraft out of state, because I feared for my life and safety. Fifty years ago, when my mother and her family escaped their war-torn country with nothing but the clothes on their backs and one bag per person due to religious persecution, I never imagined that one day, fifty years into the future, that I too would one day find myself following in her footsteps, quite literally. I never imagined that I would one day find myself fleeing my home with nothing but the clothes on my back and one small carry-on bag, and boarding a same-day aircraft bound for 1,000+ miles away, because I too feared for my life and safety. Thirteen months ago, when I found myself on the phone with a local domestic violence agency in my state, I never imagined that the proverbial door would get slammed in my face, on the basis that I earned too much money to qualify for any help or support. Since I was born and raised abroad, and with my own family still living halfway around the world, it was in that moment that I truly realized, and that it genuinely sunk in, that I was going to be completely and entirely alone in the process of escaping the cycle of violence. In 1848, divorce was practically unheard of. Most states had fault-based divorce laws outlining the requirements and criteria permitting divorce: lunacy, adultery, desertion, or cruelty. This meant that couples could only pursue divorce IF they could prove, in a court of law, that one or the other had committed one of these offenses. However, given the laws (or lack thereof) governing women's rights and freedoms at the time, divorce was far more complex for women, as they remained at risk of being unable to regain their last names, unable to retain property acquired prior to their marriage, or unable to obtain custody of their children. These fault-based grounds are in stark contrast to the no-fault system that exists across most states today. Today, after decades of tireless advocacy, and thanks to incredible attorneys like Laurie Wasserman and Virginia Yeoman, people are no longer required to remain shackled to their spouses, and have the freedom to escape the cycle of violence. Thanks to the fabulous support of Laurie and Virginia, I've not only been able to survive, but I am slowly on my way to thriving again. The words "happiness" and "divorce" are the last two words you'd expect to see in the same sentence, but that is exactly what Virginia and Laurie have facilitated for me. For anyone considering engaging the services of Laurie Wasserman and her team, from the bottom of my heart, I wholeheartedly recommend them and their entire office. They'll not only save your life, but they will also help re-unlock your door to freedom, health, independence, and joy again.

Before I hired Martha, I was working with another attorney for my divorce process, and I just didn't feel like they were on my side and looking out for my best interests. Someone referred me to Martha White, and once I met with her, I made the decision to end my retainer agreement with my current attorney and hire Martha White. Martha White listened to me and to my concerns and what I wanted out of dissolving my marriage. She was always responsive to my calls or emails and took the time to explain things to me, so that I understood all of terms and possible outcomes of this process. I feel that she helped me reach a fair settlement and I was happy with the final settlement agreement. I wish I would have hired her in the first place. She didn't drag the process out any longer than it needed to be. I was very pleased with her representation of me in my divorce case. If I ever would have another family law issue, she would be the first attorney I would contact. You can't go wrong having Martha White as your attorney.

All of the staff at CFC are amazing, caring, and professional. They guided me through the entire experience and made it stress-free and positive. Best of all, I adore the couple I was matched with and they have become part of my extended family. If you are considering surrogacy, I would absolutely recommend CFC.

Unfortunately, I did not have a great experience with Mr. Patel. I have a pretty complicated case which I made the intake attorney aware of and was told some incorrect information at that appointment. We spent the next few YEARS with Mr. Patel attempting to address the original issue and wasted a lot of time, he did not seem very knowledgeable about addressing complicated cases with previous removal orders and was difficult to reach and get ahold of. I hired another attorney and the issue was fixed within 6 months. If you have a complicated case, I would not recommend this attorney.

Justin is an absolute lifesaver! I first retained his services in 2018 while on PBJ (Probation before Judgement) after I'd attempted to fight a previous ticket without a lawyer, upon which I then received a similar stoppage for driving in excess during the 2 year probationary period. I contacted Justin in order to take this to trial for me, to which he told me to, 'simply go to work and he'd handle it.' On his advice I did just that and on the day of the trial I was treated with a resultant email from him that everything had been cleared, I was off PBJ, and the newest ticket had been wiped. The second time I contacted Justin was in 2022 when I'd received a ticket during Covid (in 2020) whose charges amounted to over $500, but trials were delayed due to the pandemic. Again Justin took this to trial for me and on the day of the trial I was again greeted with a message that all of the charges were dropped and that my driving record remained completely clean. I cannot recommend Justin enough! The things he does are just absolutely magical!

Our son had previously been denied by the AAMC for the same accommodations he had received throughout college. We searched for an attorney that could best present our case, and we were immediately drawn to Brown, Goldstein & Levy from their online profile. Once we met Neel Lalchandani and discussed our situation, we knew we had found the right partner. Neel is an excellent listener and his team is very thorough. Neel presented a very compelling case on behalf of our son, and he was recently awarded the full accommodations that we had requested. We could not have achieved our goal without the help of Neel Lalchandani and Brown, Goldstein & Levy. They were the difference-maker and it was the best decision we ever made. Our son's confidence has been restored and his dream to go to medical school continues. Thank you Neel!

If I could give a zero I would this has been my worst experience ever in my entire life. I’ve dealt with smaller injury lawyers who had less and did ten times more. My case is a slip and fall easy the hotel admitted fault right out the gate. There were ample evidence and every thing. I had put my self in therapy not my lawyer I couldn’t work so I fell into financial ruin. My lawyer tells me don’t worry because all of that will be accounted for in the lawsuit just be patient. I go months before I find out that the lawyer I had no longer worked for the company. My case is now over a year and I have a new lawyer who has to be updated on my case. The lack of communication is unbelievable I’ve repeatedly ask to speak to a partner and that has gone unheard. I’m almost three years in and after a horrible display of competence they are now trying to close my case.

What an Intellectual Property Lawyer Can Do for You

An intellectual property (IP) lawyer specializes in protecting the rights related to creations of the mind, including inventions, designs, logos, brands, artistic works, and trade secrets. IP lawyers help clients secure legal rights to their intellectual property, enforce those rights, and defend against infringement claims. They can also assist with licensing agreements, negotiating royalties, and managing intellectual property portfolios.

Whether you're a business seeking to protect a trademark, an inventor patenting a new product, or an artist protecting your work from unauthorized use, an intellectual property lawyer ensures that your creations are legally safeguarded and helps you navigate the complex landscape of IP law.

When Should I Hire an Intellectual Property Lawyer?

Hiring an intellectual property lawyer is beneficial in many situations where you need to secure, protect, or defend your intellectual property rights. Key scenarios include:

  • Filing a patent: If you've invented a new product or process, a lawyer can help you apply for a patent and ensure the protection of your invention.
  • Trademarking a logo or brand name: To protect your business's brand identity, a lawyer can assist in trademarking logos, names, slogans, or symbols.
  • Copyright protection: If you’ve created an original work (e.g., a book, music, or software), a lawyer can help you register your copyright and ensure your rights are protected.
  • Trade secrets protection: For businesses with proprietary information, a lawyer can draft agreements to protect trade secrets and ensure they remain confidential.
  • Defending against infringement: If someone is using your intellectual property without permission, a lawyer can help you take legal action to stop the infringement and seek damages.
  • Licensing agreements: If you want to allow others to use your intellectual property for a fee, an IP lawyer can draft or negotiate licensing agreements that protect your interests.
  • IP portfolio management: If you have multiple forms of intellectual property, a lawyer can help you manage your IP portfolio, ensuring all assets are protected and strategically utilized.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help you avoid legal pitfalls and ensure that your intellectual property is adequately protected from the start.

What Does an Intellectual Property Lawyer Do?

An intellectual property lawyer provides a wide range of services to protect and enforce your intellectual property rights. They can:

  • File patents and trademarks: Helping you prepare and submit patent or trademark applications to protect your inventions, brands, or logos.
  • Register copyrights: Assisting with the registration of original creative works to ensure your rights are protected under copyright law.
  • Litigate infringement cases: Representing you in court if your intellectual property has been used without authorization or if you're accused of infringement.
  • Draft licensing agreements: Creating contracts that allow others to use your intellectual property while ensuring you retain control and receive appropriate compensation.
  • Manage IP portfolios: Helping businesses and individuals manage multiple forms of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
  • Conduct due diligence in business deals: Ensuring that intellectual property assets are properly valued and protected during mergers, acquisitions, or licensing agreements.

How Are Intellectual Property Lawyers Paid?

Intellectual property lawyers typically charge for their services in different ways, depending on the complexity of the work and the type of intellectual property being protected. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For specific services such as filing a trademark or copyright application, many lawyers charge a flat fee that covers all the work required for that service.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex tasks, such as drafting licensing agreements or litigating infringement cases, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Contingency fee: In some cases, particularly for IP litigation, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Their fee would typically be a percentage of the settlement or damages awarded.
  • Retainer: For ongoing IP needs, some clients may pay a retainer fee upfront to secure the lawyer’s services, which the lawyer then bills against as they work on the case.

It’s essential to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer upfront to ensure there are no surprises.

How Much Does an Intellectual Property Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an intellectual property lawyer depends on the complexity of the case and the type of intellectual property involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Trademark registration: The cost of registering a trademark can range from $500 to $2,000, depending on the complexity of the application and whether there are any issues during the registration process.
  • Patent filing: Filing a patent is often more expensive, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the type of patent (utility, design, etc.) and the complexity of the invention.
  • Copyright registration: Registering a copyright is usually less costly, with fees typically ranging from $300 to $1,500 for most creative works.
  • Litigation: If you’re involved in an IP dispute or infringement case, litigation can be costly, with fees ranging from $10,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Licensing agreements: Drafting or negotiating a licensing agreement can range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the terms and complexity of the agreement.

Always get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure that the services are within your budget.

Top Questions to Ask an Intellectual Property Lawyer

Before hiring an intellectual property lawyer, it’s essential to ask questions that will help you determine if they are the right fit for your case. Here are some key questions to ask:

  1. What experience do you have with intellectual property law?
    Ensure that the lawyer has substantial experience with your specific type of intellectual property, whether it’s patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or contingency, and get a clear estimate of what your case will cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success with my application or case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of the chances of successfully obtaining a patent, trademark, or copyright or winning an infringement case.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Ask about the expected timeline for filing your application or resolving your dispute, as IP matters can sometimes take months or years to finalize.
  5. What steps will you take to protect my intellectual property?
    Ask the lawyer how they will help ensure your intellectual property is fully protected and what strategies they use to enforce IP rights.
  6. Have you handled cases similar to mine?
    If your case involves specific industries or technologies, ask whether the lawyer has worked with similar clients and what the outcomes were.

How to Check the Credibility of an Intellectual Property Lawyer

To ensure that you’re hiring a reputable intellectual property lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for specific IP experience: Check their website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in intellectual property law and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what past clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their professionalism and success in handling IP matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the International Trademark Association (INTA) or the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) can indicate expertise in intellectual property law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with an intellectual property lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:

  • A detailed description of your invention, brand, or creative work: Be prepared to explain what you are seeking to protect, including any unique aspects or characteristics of your intellectual property.
  • Any existing IP registrations or applications: If you’ve already filed for trademarks, patents, or copyrights, bring copies of the relevant documents.
  • Information on potential infringers: If you are dealing with an infringement issue, provide details of the alleged infringer, including evidence of the infringement, such as images, documents, or correspondence.
  • Questions about the process: Write down any questions you have about protecting or enforcing your intellectual property rights, including timelines, costs, and potential outcomes.
  • Your goals: Be clear about what you want to achieve, whether it’s securing a patent, protecting a brand, or enforcing your IP rights against unauthorized use.

Being prepared for your first consultation will help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide you with the best possible advice for protecting your intellectual property.
