About
This firm handles trademark matters and most work is performed at FIXED FEES which are listed on our web page. I am located in CONNECTICUT but I work with clients all over the country and the world.
If you are filing for a TM, we either perform a free knockout search or, for an extra fee, a comprehensive search which is a computer generated search. I will discuss these searches with you during our initial consultation.
As for me, I've personally filed thousands of trademark applications. I've also taken over prosecution of cases from clients who filed using online services (e.g. Legal Zoom) or from other attorneys when the client was told their trademark would be refused registration. I will fight for your intellectual property rights. I don't just take the easy cases.
Please contact me for a free consultation because I want you to feel comfortable during the whole process.

After researching online for a Trademark Attorney, I came across Thumbtack and chose Rick based on his remarkable reviews. Let me tell you, the reviews serve no justice as to the extent of service, knowledge and professionalism provided! I reached out to him on a late Friday afternoon to leave a message and was pleasantly surprised he responded within minutes, and followed-up with a phone call where I could have my questions answered. Regardless of his expertise, he was patient and provided explanations in terms one could understand. He is professional, polite and made the process seamless! He also follows-up and follows-through which is very important to me. He is available at any time should you need his assistance, even after he's completed the work. Now THAT'S five-star, white glove, red-carpet, first-class service! I would definitely recommend you choose him for your legal needs.

Rick responded to my request within minutes. The whole process only took a few days and he had my trademark paperwork completed and filed.
Rick was thorough and professional in the work he did and I would highly recommend him and his company.

Super Quick Turn-Around! Great Service! I requested a quote for a Trademark in May 2017 and immediately hired Rick over 3 other attorneys. He presented a few options as well as his recommendation for the most cost effective way to file. I’m happy to say that 2 months after taking Rick’s professional recommendation, I sent Rick an email at 9am, 8 July 2017and he filed not only one, but two Trademarks at 12pm, 8 July 2017 on a Saturday. Now, that is AWESOME customer service! It is incredibly wonderful to work with someone who is responsive, transparent, and has the best interest of the customer in mind. Thanks again Rick!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We do most everything at fixed fees which can be found on our webpage.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Part of protecting your intellectual property is learning about your business to make sure you are filing for the correct trademark(s). We also are happy to discuss any patent and/or copyright questions you may have to further protect your intellectual property.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm an attorney with a background in computer engineering and music. I have been practicing law since 2005. I started off doing intellectual property work for Fortune 100 companies and am now using that experience to help smaller companies who may not want to engage larger law firms.
