What makes Litigateways® different?
Expertise
Since 2007, our attorneys have dedicated themselves exclusively to the practice of Intellectual Property Law. We are Board Certified in Intellectual Property Law: a designation reserved for attorneys with the highest, public commitment to excellence in their area of law. We know the law and we have the practical experience to back it up.
Peer & Client Recognition
The attorneys at our firm have been recognized by their peers as “Rising Stars” and “Super Lawyers” in their field for many years running. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations. We’ve also achieved a “Superb – 10/10” rating on Avvo.com – a rating system that includes peer and client evaluations.
Honest & Upfront Billing
We believe that lawyers should not be in the business of sales. Too often, we talk to folks who have signed up for a lawsuit without a clear understanding of the finances involved. That’s why we are up front about our rates and make sure that all financial issues are clearly understood before we move forward with any representation.
Modern Efficiency
It’s often said that lawyers are slow to change. We reject that tradition, embracing technology as a tool to help us serve our clients more efficiently. In our years of practice, we’ve identified many outdated methods in the practice of law, and aim to fix them.
Thank you for considering Litigateways® as your trusted intellectual property partner. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and help you unlock the full potential of your intellectual assets.
