Working with the Law Office of Paul B. Johnson has been incredible. He first contacted me on a Saturday since I first sent out my request for a Patent or Intellectual Property attorneys since I first put out an ad on Thursday September 14. My first ad I placed I believe was too frantic and specific so I sent out a different one on Saturday September 16. He was one of the first to answer, and to be honest, working on a weekend was impressive. His prices were also upfront and fair given his background knowledge in engineering and his experience. I personally found the fact that he has two separate engineering degrees impressive as well since he can call upon that experience, training, and knowledge in thinking about the creation or production of a product, if applicable. I emailed him a description of my idea and was enthused as I was. Although through some research we found similar ideas already produced they were different enough that we’re not quite sure whether to pursue the project or not, and he was very upfront with me about his opinion, and what to do and not to do. His appraisal of the situation was very honest and his opinion was to spare me a patent search which would have been costly, but which would have been beneficial for his bottom line. That showed character to me. Instead, he shared with me some other ideas and options for the product since although it had been made before, no one had ever really heard about it and it was not publicly known or in the public eye. Although I’m not sure where that initial idea of an invention will go, I have quite a few other ideas to explore and pursue and the Law Office of Paul B. Johnson is going to be my first place to go. I recommend you do the same. Good luck!

This is was my first conversation with any attorney about a patent filing process. He was very patient in answering my questions and recommended the right steps to take and was not trying to push me into the process. I would love to work with him as soon as I have the details lined up for my patent. And would gladly recommend to my friends and family.

Paul Johnson is among the most knowledgeable, accessible, punctual and enthusiastic attorneys I've had the pleasure to work with. He demonstrates great insight into the field of IP law, giving very clear and concise counsel. From the moment I first emailed he called me immediately to discuss my trademark project. He was generous with his time, discussing my project at length and performing on-the-spot research to ensure I had a valid application before contracting his services. I was hooked at that moment, knowing I had found a great attorney. Throughout the entire application process he demonstrated thorough expertise and motivation. He was extremely helpful in guiding the application to final submission, always eager to respond quickly to my questions. He was also honest and straightforward with his very reasonable legal fees to avoid any unexpected surprises. He is a superlative lawyer who is also very congenial. I look forward to working with him on future copy and intellectual right issues.

I got really lucky. I searched online and read Paul’s listing. I couldn’t have found a better guy to talk to for a consultation. He responded quickly and he was completely honest with me. I get that he was truly sincerely trying to help me. He deserves a great review for the hour we had. I got so much information and I will definitely contact him again when I am ready to file for a patent. Great guy! He was so down to earth that I forgot I was speaking to an attorney.

This was my first dealing with Paul, I did it via the internet and being out of state. We all pride ourselves on being the best and surrounding ourselves around the same. Paul was that and more. He came up with claims that I didn't even think, and I invented the item. Very Happy Customer / M.A.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  My rates are very competitive because I have streamlined back end processes on my end, and most of my rates are flat fees.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  I like a little back and forth through ThumbTack or over the phone to hone in on what services you really need and see if we are a good match to work together. If we are, I send an engagement agreement and a payment link (through which you can pay by credit card) and then I get started, staying in touch through email throughout the process.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I am an attorney, an engineer, and an entrepreneur. I am licensed to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, I have bachelors and masters degrees in engineering, and after being trained by experienced attorneys at other law firms for over ten years I broke off and started my own firm in late 2016.
