Michael advised on a very large bank litigation concerning electronic discovery requirements for several hundred tapes. His dedication is second to none and was reachable even after hours. In this area he is extremely knowledgeable and possesses a rare ability to think through and analyze problems at an extraordinarily quick pace. Michael's understanding of technology is as a technology and law as a lawyer, which gives him an advantage over most other attorneys who are usually one or the other. Without question, other members of our firm would agree.

Mr. Wechsler is a rare breed of attorney and I have known and worked with many. His experience in online and Internet law and business is unique and fortunately he has worked both sides of the equation and knows how to balance interests. He is extremely dedicated to his work, always tries to make time for clients and will turn away work if he feels that he is unable to meet the demands of his office. I am unaware of another lawyer who is as pleased as he is when his clients express their gratitude and satisfaction with his work. If you can get him to work for your company he's a keeper. You'll get more than you paid for.

My company recently hired Attorney William Shapiro to assist with a corporate contract dispute. William helped us form a powerful yet cost effective strategy which led to our victory in the case. We were awarded a substantial monetary judgement. William took the time to understand the issues, formulate an effective strategy, execute the strategy and ultimately win. We look forward to working with Attorney Shapiro exclusively for all of our legal needs. Highly recommended.

I hired Mr Shapiro to help me with what we thought was going to be a typical house purchase transaction. It was anything but that.

OK, so I just bought a house in Homestead and during the closing the lawyers were talking about my "new" taxes. Yeah, that's cool, they aren't too crazy, but anyway, they were saying that this guy was hired by the city and he's crushin' all of these slime balls who haven't paid their taxes in like over 20 years!! They were joking that if I didn't pay some taxes that were owed that this "Sherriff Cowboy" would show up and make sure Yonkers got paid. So one of the lawyers went on the computer and did a search and he said that this guy has gotten MILLIONS $$$$$ of dollas from a whole bunch of people who haven't like EVER paid their taxes - in like over 20 years straight. So I say GO GET EM' Mr. C. I want our COPS to get paid and FIREMEN to come to my house if I need help and TEACHERS to keep teaching my kids . . . and so I don't have to pay ANY MORE MONEY cause of these slumlords not paying their taxes!!!

Mr. Callahan helped me and my family through a very difficult time and he continues to work with not only me, but my parents, my wife's parents, their businesses...pretty much everyone! He's a "high-power" NYC lawyer, but he doesn't charge an arm & leg n' other leg. I have had so much trouble finding an attorney who is actually worth the money...and now I'm really happy to say that Mr. Callahan and his firm are and a whole lot more.

Brett Lewis has been advising our firm for the last 10 years.
He is extremely smart, tough, and very fast...especially in a crisis situation.
Our company specializies in the internet and domain space - A space that requires expert knowledge, which quite frankly, very few attorneys possess.
Brett is one of the few attorneys who thoroughly understands this space...
He is an expert and a very valuable resource for our company.
I would recommened Brett Lewis to any firm or individual looking for guidance and legal assistance in a wide scope of matters relating to the internet, domain names, trademark law, or contract law.

I highly recommend using Eugene Kublanovsky. My wife and I found Mr. Kublanovsky to be congenial yet business-minded and 100% professional, making it very easy to engage him. Mr. Kublanovsky was easily reachable and responsive on our matter and he took it upon himself to perform extras duties while keeping everyone else on task. Working with Eugene Kublanovsky was an excellent experience.

I have worked with many lawyers over the past decade and Eugene provided me with service and commitment that went leaps and bounds beyond what was required. Eugene was excellent in his communications with me and opposing counsel as well as a great wealth of knowledge for me to rely on as I went through the process.
I have not worked with another attorney that went so far out of his way to make sure that I was represented properly and received what I was due.
Thanks Eugene, I recommend you to anyone who needs counsel.

I first hired Erik around 2003 to review an IP patent portfolio and help us think through a patent program for our $80 million in annual R&D investment -- weight the cost/benefit and what we should do. Since then Erik has become my consigliere for all my commercial legal matters, in that he's my first call and he then selects excellent attorneys within Bryan Cave to assign to my matters and supervises the work at every stage. Under his supervision, I've used Bryan Cave for commercial litigation, IP, contracts, and corporate structure work, as well as personal legal work. I first worked with Erik when I was a senior executive of an international tech firm owned by Goldman Sachs, and have continued with him through the founding, growth and successful sale of my own company, as well as to examine IP matters, contracts and corporate structure for new startups. For my company, he helped me win a $600,000 settlement from a client who backed out of a service contract -- the settlement was half the contract value and we never filed a single legal document. It was legal jujitsu, and what I really valued was the advice I received from Erik and the litigation attorney he brought in to know how hard to push without going over the edge and ending up in a costly legal battle. We prepared so well that we overwhelmed a vastly larger company (my client) before they had a chance to dig in and convince themselves of a robust defense. I absolutely recommend Erik for any IP matter, and as a first call for just about anything -- he'll assign a great attorney within Bryan Cave or refer out, and if within Bryan Cave will actively supervise (including billing). Most of my matters come down to making a commercial judgment on risks, and weighing and quantifying those economically. Whereas I've been frustrated in the past by lawyers who seem to just catalogue the risks but not help in weighing and quantifying them, the attorneys I've worked with through Erik have helped me make the right business decisions as a corporate executive and now as a business owner. And they are efficient, so while I could get a lower fee structure elsewhere, I actually do very well in terms of results verses cost. I'm no longer in the NYC metro area, yet Erik Kahn (and Bryan Cave) is the only service provider I've held on to as I transitioned to the West and built my own businesses.

Our former attorney group no longer handled trademarks for our expanding lines of merchandising within the entertainment industry and we were led to the offices of Stacy Grossman. From the first meeting, I knew our needs were in the safest and most capable of hands. Stacy is extremely bright, sharp and fast. If she needs to research anything, she will tell you so and get back to you in record time. Our US and international trademarks have all been obtained with the confidence of the most friendly and supportive law office I have ever had the pleasure with whom to be associated, and I would recommend Stacy and her fine staff to anyone in such similar needs.

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.

Adam has been my entertainment attorney for the past several years, serving both my film/video production company, as well as various independent films I've been working on. He has always done a thorough job and presented his expert opinions in ways that are clear and comprehensible by a non-attorney. He is there to answer my questions and takes my feedback into account as needed for the various contracts, release forms, deal memos, and other documents he has worked on for us. One of Adam's key strengths is his legal expertise coupled with his hands on experience as a film producer. This inside knowledge of the industry gives him a unique perspective when working with companies like mine, and enables him to truly understand our needs and perspective. He also has immense patience and is a true team player. I'm very happy to have Adam on our team, and recommend him without reservation to anyone looking for an entertainment or IP attorney.

I've now had the opportunity to seek Mr. Cirincione's legal services on two occasions, with starting a new business. On the first occasion, I sought his legal advice to protect certain aspects of what I created for my business. When I found a place to open my business, Russell helped me negotiate and understand my lease agreement. Mr. Cirincione was extremely helpful. He was very easy to reach if i ever had a question. He broke things down so that I could easily understand what was going on, and what I needed to do. I would highly recommend Russell Cirincione.

Friendly, honest, knowledgeable ... Mr. Fine is the only lawyer, (and believe me, I've called several) that was willing to really listen to me , not assume he had all the facts. He took the time to understand my problem, then explained my options making sure I completely understood everything he had to say. If I had any questions, and I can honestly say, I didn't have many, he explained thoroughly without giving me that annoying "I've already explained this" attitude you get from most lawyers. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that! Mr. Fine returned my calls without hesitation and walked me through the entire procedure. A+ lawyer.

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.

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.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
