Ms. Morado was absolutely invaluable in helping me navigate a bewildering publishing/art/licensing/permissions debacle in which I was utterly in-over-my-head. What seemed insurmountably complex to me was long-familiar legal territory for her. She lucidly explained to me the process along the way; she was a fastidiously professional steward of time-tracking and invoicing; she graciously interfaced on my behalf with a rather stressful third party; and, in the end, she navigated myself and the other party to a clean, fair, mutually agreeable conclusion. I couldn't be more pleased, and can recommend her services categorically.

Being an independent filmmaker and producer in Seattle who works with Hollywood colleagues and clients: Morado Law PLLC has been incredible counsel for helping me navigate the nuances of this Industry while retaining long lasting relationships creatively. I also feel like I become a legally savvy artist after every appointment with her too.

Heather represented me on a music royalty agreement. She was patient, explaining to me areas of the agreement that needed to be addressed and in turn helped me understand the issues involved and what to expect. Her guidance was reassuring and thoughtful on the best way to proceed. I am grateful to have been referred to her and definitely will use her again, when needed!

Heather was a tremendous resource during my process of investing in an independent film. Her knowledge was exceptional in virtually all important aspects of film finance such as capital structure, business formation, contract review, and taxation. Heather is extremely professional, responsive, and friendly to work with. I highly recommend Heather Morado for anyone's need for legal services related to the entertainment industry.

I have been working with Heather for about 8 years and she has helped me with a variety of topics related to the setup and ongoing operation of my film production company, including the creation of contracts, filing for a trademark and, most recently, how to handle the representation of copyrighted works of art in a video. Heather's presence has been invaluable. I come to her with a lot of questions, and her responses are always insightful and complete. She's careful to present all sides of an issue, to give advice when I ask,, and give me the knowledge I need to make informed decisions. One example of particular importance was our discussion about the hiring of actors and crew, and how they are perceived by the various government agencies. This was all new to me, but after talking it out with Heather I felt ready to deal with the issues involved. Heather is also great to deal with. She's not scary at all! I recommend her without reservation.

John Bamert has as great understanding of the intricate dynamics and relationships between Business, Engineering and the Legal environments and has perfectly incorporated them all into his profession. He provides the highest level of professionalism, knowledge and guidance. He does not just see the potential of the idea for a new product or service, he actually is able to translate each of the inventions into a forceful legal document, and a visually compelling asset. He then delivers the most professional legal advice and is always mindful of the expediency of the end-product. He is personable and listens well before taking an informed position. In short, he is a pleasure to work with.

John consulted me on a sensitive personal legal situation and did so with the utmost professionalism. John is responsive, always getting back to me within just an hour of when I contacted him. Most importantly, John is able to explain complex legal concepts in simple terms for the non-lawyer, which is a sign of someone who truly understands their field. I'd highly recommend John to anyone looking for an attorney.

John has been an incredible part of our advisory team. He has worked with us on software/technology projects as well as our wireless devices/sensor business. John provides a surprisingly amount of technical understanding regarding what we are doing which has been a unique experience for us (must be partially from his electrical engineering background). Most lawyers and outside support we have dealt with need a lot of hand holding to understand our products. John asks incredible questions and is a keen listener. He understands how to easily communicate the potential paths and pitfalls of different patent strategies, and has shown his ability to offer alternatives to adjust our products in ways that increase patentability and protectability. It is priceless being able to call him on the phone, give very minimal background information and him being able to conceptualize what sort of technology we are working with. You can see John's experience working as a patent examiner show up in his work. He has an understanding of the process better than anyone we have ever worked with and that combined with superior legal skills and his technology understanding really may us feel truly lucky to have him as a partner in our business growth. John is very structured, very knowledgeable, and he knows what we are talking about. He understands both the technical and strategic elements of our business. Truly the best we have encountered by far and we recommend his services to everyone we can.

I had a couple questions about acquiring a patent for an idea I had. After discussing it for a bit he informed me about everything I would need to have in order and the next steps needed to be taken.

Heather helped me resolve a dispute with a former music business associate in a timely and professional manner. She is an excellent lawyer, and would recommend her to any musician seeking help with a legal matter in the business.
