Shana has been extremely helpful with many projects of mine. I work in film in NYC and found Shana about one year ago, she has helped me both reviewing operating agreement, subscription agreement and consultant agreement of Film Investment deals and helped me draft a producer's contract. When we work on these deals, Shana always operates with the highest level of integrity, skill, and compassion. She is quick to return my emails and phone calls, and she is just a genuinely friendly person to work with and have my very best interests in mind. If you're looking for an entertainment attorney, I wholeheartedly couldn't give a higher recommendation.

Marc Ostrow is truly an exceptional attorney. An outstanding listener and thoughtful problem-solver, he finds a way to achieve the best results for his clients. His knowledge of the law and expertise in a variety of areas are extraordinary. Marc has handled several matters for me, from copyright agreements to employment. His negotiation skills are exemplary and he has consistently delivered excellent results. I could not recommend him more.

Marc is my lawyer, and he's negotiated some sensitive contracts for me, like major-label publishing deals and unauthorized sampling/copyright infringement cases. He's very courteous and knowledgable, and is a beast of a negotiator. He's also very good at educating his clients on everything from the basics of copyright law to the nitty-gritty of advanced royalty terms. Highly recommended.

I hired Evan to help resolve an unfortunate dispute that arose with a product vendor. Once hired, he was able to convince the vendor to settle their claim for a fraction of what they originally demanded. He accomplished this without ever filing a lawsuit. Evan is an extremely sharp attorney and overall great guy.

It was cold, late January and we had a week packed with meetings, we had vetted lawyers from around New York. Returning from, what we settled to be our last meeting for counsel—an hour’s drive from our Launch Pad—Chris was the final one to return our E-mail. Once he established contact with us, he was prompt and responsive; he met up with us the next day, comfortably accommodating us at The Harvard Club. At the time, we were in the structurally formative stages of our company. We really needed trustworthy, capable, intelligent, counsel that would guide us through the detailed rich process of, successfully setting-up, organizing and sustaining a corporation. To our divine delight Mr. Chris Meatto was not only of intellectual pedigree, he was a beautiful person.
Considering the typical heavy costs and limitations of legal counsel alone, saving branding, marketing and other start-up costs—working with Chris is far more valuable than any traditional consultant we would normally find. He is fluid, flexible considerate, talented and a strategic visionary. Chris is far more than a document drafter; he is a thinker, strategist and valued consultant in many matters. He is a catalyst for learning, helping us to understand and grow independently, along side his ethereally ubiquitous support. He prods like a wise sage, compelling us to reach our greatest potential of success.
It was now April and two months had passed, since we first began our relationship with Chris—as counsel to Qué Fino. We legally structured our organization after a few collaborations on Shareholders’ Agreement and bylaws. We were now vetting media developers. Chris got involved and hosted us at The Harvard Club. He enabled and coordinated the meeting with a potential media developer. Chris is like the friend that is helping so many people; he forgets to eat, so in order to appreciate Chris’ kind and mind, you must learn that when he says, “keep me updated,” he really means it. He welcomes and fosters robust substantive communications, in a: Ping-Pong of respectful persistence. Chris has been nothing but open, enabling, empowering and faithful with us. We recommend Mr. Meatto to any entrepreneur smart enough to maximize their investments. With Chris, you get a brilliant, atypical professional, trust-worthy confidant and advisor. Working with Chris is a success; we wish you all the best.

My friend and I are starting a music licensing partnership. Bruce offered a one-hour consultation for a very reasonable rate. He made clear that he does not act as an agent or manager, but he was interested in our project, spoke at length about music licensing and law, and referred us to numerous helpful sources. Bruce is smart, articulate, and easy to talk to. He invited us to call him again for additional help at any time.

As a professional photographer in New York, I found myself in a situation where I needed the representation of a lawyer in a copyright infringement matter I brought up with a major company. I came across Bruce Colfin at The Firm and gave him a call. I was left with a good impression from my initial consultation but wanted to look into some others before hiring. After calling and speaking with several other lawyers I decided to go with Bruce.
He was personable and down-to-earth as well as straight forward and professional. He kept me informed throughout the case and advised me of all options along the way.
We settled the matter quickly and with a favorable outcome, and in addition his fee was very reasonable with no "surprises" during or at the end of the case.
I highly recommend Bruce Colfin

Most recently I hired Warren to help me secure all the requisite legal paperwork for my startup. I got everything I needed, including a clear explanation of how all the pieces fit together. When I had questions, he patiently answered them and went above and beyond. One advantage with Warren is that he brings a practical, in-depth business background which I have found is pretty rare. When I raise business issues/questions, he immediately understands the implications. I also know Warren has been successful handling a # of extremely significant cases, so he is equally adept at providing counsel for both small and very large businesses.

Many attorneys act simply as a vendor, keeping you on a meter and adding 6 minutes to your bill every time they answer a thirty second email. Warren treats you like a business partner, genuinely concerned with your best interests; I view him as an extension of my company. Sound, practical advice to arrive at the optimal solution, often saving the client from allowing emotion to inform decisions.

Mr. Wolff represented me in a recent Partnership/Operating Agreement. He was meticulous down to the littlest detail with my best interests being the priority in both the drafting and execution of all materials. He took all phone correspondence, responded immediately to all emails, and explained everything in a clear and concise manner. He never rushed through anything. The bottom line is that choosing James Wolff, is choosing peace of mind. I highly recommend this attorney as well as Sacco & Fillas, a great law firm.

Dan is an excellent attorney. He handled my matter with ease and kept me well informed. I have since found him to be a great friend and an excellent resource for finding solutions both inside and outside his practice areas. If Dan can't help me, then he knows just the right person who can. Every person who passes through this life should have the opportunity to work with someone like Dan, the world would be a better place if every attorney was just like him in how they handle and manage their clients.

I've known and worked with Dan Schneider for more than 12 years. He's one of the few lawyers I've come across who actually seems to care. Not just about the end result, but about the person involved. He's capable of speaking plainly and with little legal jargon, so you understand without feeling condescended to, and his approach inspires confidence and comfort.
One of the most remarkable things about Dan is his resources. Although the bulk of legal work he did for me happened quite some time ago, we've always stayed in touch. He handled smaller legal issues that cropped up, but was most generous with his contacts. He's an expert networker, always brainstorming, introducing and connecting people.
This has been helpful in innumerable ways over the years. Dan's not just focused on getting the job done, he's capable of the sort of out-of-the-box thinking that can solve a problem, make an important connection or open up new vistas for your business.
A lawyer with both a mind and a heart. You can't beat that!

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP during our recent custody case with Celsius Network.
Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz, the lawyers overseeing our case, demonstrated utmost professionalism and dedication. Their strategic approach and effective communication, including numerous Zoom meetings and timely update emails, greatly contributed to the successful resolution of our case. I especially appreciate their willingness to address unique issues by accepting individual phone consultations.
The court's decision in favor of our case and the subsequent award of our custody assets have brought considerable relief. Despite the financial challenges associated with the bankruptcy process, the support and expertise provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP significantly eased the burden.
I couldn't be happier with the level of service and communication throughout this challenging period. Please extend my gratitude to Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz for their outstanding efforts.

Dear Gregory,
I received your letter, in addition to the document from the judge pertaining to my Chapter 13 case. I am thankful and grateful to you for accepting my case and ensuring that I felt comfortable during this "extremely" difficult time in my life. After losing my mom and sister on Christmas Day and the following New Years Eve years ago, my overall debts were overwhelming. Your patience, listening without making me feel as though I was a burden, caring, professionalism, sensitivity and counseling was
far beyond my expectations, especially since I had never been through a bankruptcy.
I can't say thank you enough for your encouragement, positive words, updated information to assist me, and determination to see me through this journey. You are amazing!
I "highly" recommend you and Priscilla to anyone who need your
professional services. God bless you and best wishes in the future!
Sincerely,
Sharon L. Williams

I had no idea how ruthless the insurance companies and defense lawyers would be after my car accident. My attorneys at Denlea & Carton were my champions. They took the time to explain the process from the very beginning, and were by my side every step of the way. Having them fight for me, and help me to explain the feelings I was struggling to express, was life changing. I am forever grateful for their compassion, help and toughness.

Their meticulous attention to detail convinced me I was represented by the best, and the favorable settlement I received helped to prove it. I am very grateful.

Justin is one of the smartest IP lawyers I have ever met in that he is always looking for a way to make things happen. His view is to try to find a way for business persons to do what they want instead of telling them why they can't do something. This is an admirable quality. He looks at legal issues with a critical mind and his recommendations are complete and useful. He has branched out from a traditional law practice to include business and marketing activities. A very well rounded individual and very good lawyer and advocate.

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.

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.

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:
-
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.
