I’ve known Vance since 2015 and have recently enrolled with his services as he did my trademark applications for my company. Before I used him for my IP needs, he was and still is, a phenomenal mentor and consultant for myself and my business. He has been a big supporter of my work and I am grateful that I’ve had the honor to work with him. He brings an aspect of character and friendship to the legal services industry that I wish more attorneys had. He has passion, and is a great attorney.

Vance and his team were able to get a difficult patent registered for one of my tech startups in record time. My B2B marketing agency has also secured numerous trademarks for our client brands and always found the team to be knowledgeable, experienced and providing great guidance without the heavy handed selling on next steps I’ve experienced with other firms.

Vance has played an integral part in my business and has provided me with the best possible advice and guidance in an otherwise hard-to-navigate world of IP and digital. I would not hesitate to hire or recommend him to anyone given the services and knowledge he's provided and would advise anyone reading this to do the same.

I have been working with Vance VanDrake for a couple years now. He and his firm have been helpful on matters from trademark questions to real estate lease issues to the right corporate setup after a buyout process. While Vance is not always the attorney at the firm that executes the work, he is my trusted go-to advisor to shepherd us through all the excellent resources at his firm. I love that even though others at the firm sometimes do the work, and even how obviously busy he seems to always be, he always makes sure to check in with me frequently to make sure that everything is going as planned. Further, he is great at helping me translate legalese into words that an entrepreneur understands.

Vance is one of the regional go-to experts in intellectual property law. He is spectacular as a mentor and support in the regional startup community. I don't hesitate sending founders of early stage companies to him at all.

Had the pleasure of meeting Vance during a legal seminar for start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs. Vance was the keynote speaker at the event where he spoke on the importance of Intellectual Property. I was amazed at how he was able to take complex material and make it easy to understand and relatable. Being an entrepreneur himself, allows him to bring a lot of empathy to his clients. In subsequent meetings with Vance, I've been impressed by the passion and energy he brings to his clients. He's not only a great lawyer but also a great teacher and business advisor as well.

Vance has been a lifesaver for my company. We're a new and small company, and we've had two major IP issues that Vance helped us work through. He did an excellent job resolving both issues and was always available to immediately answer questions and reply to emails. He did this all without even having met in person! I can honestly say that we would most likely not be in business today if we didn't have Vance on our side. Vance did an incredible job, took our case very seriously even though we're small client, and was an absolute joy to work with. I would highly recommend working with him if you have the opportunity!
