Matters are illustrative and describe no actual client engagement. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Three commitments, and we will hold to them in writing.
Attorneys who read the code
Every attorney here has an engineering background. You should not have to translate your own invention before the drafting starts.
Flat fees where they fit
Prosecution, clearance and standard agreements are quoted flat. You will know the number before we start, not after.
One docket, one owner
The attorney who drafts is the attorney who prosecutes and the attorney who answers your email. No handoffs to a name you have never met.
Tell us what you are building.
A first conversation costs nothing and does not obligate you to file anything. If the timing is wrong we will say so.
