Standley Law Group helped me obtain federal trademark protection for my business. I recommend them to anyone needing IP legal work!

By far the best and brightest IP Team I have ever worked with - responsive, pro-Active and diligent! They have built a secure moat for me both domestically and globally.

ProFile Discovery has been working with Standley Law Group LLP for over a decade. There is a great deal of mutual respect across the board between firms and together we have worked on many large and important litigation matters. The complexity of the data involved in today's litigation world is immense and requires a focused group effort to maintain the highest standards. Standley Law Group is always on the cutting edge of technology and adapts along-side the rapid pace that goes along with it! Andrew Keck President ProFile Discovery LLC

Standley Law Group has assisted my Company with tradename and trademark filings for over 25 years. Standley Law Group has also protected my Company in Franklin County Municipal Court from a now closed company who was falsely using our protected trade name. Due to Standley Law Group (especially Jeffrey Standley) the case was handled professionally and thoroughly guided us to winning the case. I would highly recommend Standley Law Group. Their experience presents itself from the moment you need them.

Our patent illustration firm has collaborated with Standley Law Group since around 2017. Their passion and dedication to achieving the best results for their clients are evident in every project we undertake together. It's always a pleasure working with them!

This law group is great at over charging people. Beware!

I met with attorney Jeff Norris of Standley Law Group in September of 2022 to obtain help in securing a TM and patent for my company and our product(s). I provided comprehensive background work, including nearly-completed trademark application forms, TM research information, and drawings for a simple design patent. I sought help specifically defining the "Date of First Use" and filing the application for the trademark, and then drafting the patent. I had received quotes totaling $4,350 for both tasks from other firms operating on a flat-rate. Standley LLP, however, works on hourly rates. I welcomed this, as I had already done most of the work and did not want to pay for already completed actions. I was quoted $2,250 for the retainer, with charges billed on a per-hour basis and extra hours billed if denials/refusals arose from the USPTO and for draftsperson fees if the provided drawings were unacceptable. I was ultimately billed $10,793.50, including $5,950 in the first month. The retainer was depleted in the first eighteen days, which seemed excessive given the prior consultation's scope. For example, I was charged $3,740 for TM and class research, although I had already completed/provided that and only requested the previously mentioned assistance. Mr. Norris acted as a go-between with the draftsperson and myself, resulting in email charges totaling $3,910 even though the draftsperson only billed $400 for his work/drawings. Due to credits I received for disputing overcharges, I ended up paying $9,793.50 but feel I was grossly overcharged given the unnecessary work performed and the details of the initial consultation. Mr. Standley refused to admit to overcharging (despite offering a $1,000 refund if I agreed to an NDA) and blocked further communication. Learn from my mistake and avoid this firm at all costs!
