Client Testimonials

He’s a trusted advisor to me. He not only provides an incredible, pragmatic legal perspective, but his business knowledge is second to none.

We bring Jason in as part of the team for any IP issue we have in any respect. Jason is my number one trusted advisor.

A lot of what Jason does can’t be emulated. He’s extremely responsive, but it’s not just the responsiveness. He has the answer to the questions, or if he doesn’t he lets me know when he will. Responsiveness is key; I hear back in two hours and that makes me look good to the client.

Jason has an exceptional ability to digest large amounts of information, assimilate it, and explain it in a clear and concise manner. He is very organized and clear off the cuff. He’s very valuable. You can’t really touch what he has.

Jason is the only patent attorney that can handle our management.

Jason is extremely responsive and knows what I need and doesn’t overshoot or undershoot and isn’t afraid to give an answer on the spot. He will give me the caveats, and that’s extremely important, but he will give me what I need in one paragraph and that’s very, very helpful.

He is very responsive and easy to get in touch with. He has fantastic client awareness.
