For more than 15 years, I’ve helped entrepreneurs protect what they’ve built—names, logos, taglines, and the goodwill behind them.

I founded Trademark Lawyer Law Firm, PLLC over a decade ago with a simple promise: give business owners big-firm trademark experience with family-level care.

Since then, my team and I have successfully registered 7,000+ trademarks and guided clients through refusals, TTAB disputes, and enforcement—so they can grow without looking over their shoulder.

I love working with builders: founders, creators, and small teams turning grit into brands. Whether you’re filing your first mark or untangling a tricky Office Action, my job is to make the complex feel simple, explain your options clearly, and fight for the outcome your brand deserves.

What I Do

  • Trademark strategy & filing (1A, 1B, Madrid/foreign counsel coordination)

  • Office Action responses (likelihood of confusion, descriptiveness, specimens, etc.)

  • USPTO & TTAB proceedings (oppositions, cancellations)

  • Enforcement & defense (C&Ds, coexistence agreements, domain/marketplace takedowns)

  • Portfolio management & monitoring (including competitor watch services)

Bar & Court Admissions

  • State Bar of Michigan

  • U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan

  • U.S. District Court, Western District of Michigan

  • Supreme Court of the United States

  • Admitted to practice on matters before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO)

Speaking, Media & Community

I’ve shared trademark insights on podcasts and at workshops, and I regularly send approachable “connection” emails that translate real-world stories into practical brand protection. Clients tell us they come for the filing… and stay for the clear, honest guidance.

How We Work

We pair legal precision with friendly process: clear scopes, flat-fee packages, and proactive updates. If a mark isn’t a good bet, we’ll tell you. If there’s a smarter path, we’ll map it. And if a refusal hits, we’ll give you the odds and the options—straight.

Let’s protect what you’ve built.
