FAQ

   What is covered in a free initial consultation?

We offer free initial consultations by phone with an intellectual property paralegal and paid initial consultations when meeting in-person. Initial consultations are an opportunity to discuss the process for securing patent and trademark protection, our patent and trademark service offerings, and the fees involved for each service. The initial consultation is also an opportunity to answer your general questions about patents and trademarks and our related services.

There are limits to what we can ethically cover in an initial consultation. For example, we can not give legal advice in an initial consultation or discuss the specific circumstances of your matter because we need to first check for potential conflicts of interest and confirm that we can add you as a client. For these reasons, we can not offer initial consultations for litigation matters, contract drafting matters, or client counseling matters. However, we would be happy to schedule a project consultation for you after confirming that we are ethically able to represent you.
