Pardon the interruption, but we are lawyers after all, so we need to make sure you understand that calling, or leaving a message does not establish an attorney-client relationship. Also, you need to know the information in your call will not be considered privileged or confidential unless, of course, we already represent you or have agreed to receive limited confidential material from you as a prospective client.
If you are a client, do not call with time-sensitive patent filing instructions and do not assume we have received or are acting upon your filing instructions unless you receive written confirmation from us.
If you would like to discuss becoming a client, please contact one of our attorneys to arrange for a meeting or telephone conference.
There, that wasn’t so bad, was it? Thank you for your interest in Wolf Greenfield.

Client Testimonials
Yesterday morning I was sitting in a meeting and in the middle of everything realized we had something we needed to protect. I called Maryanne and we got something filed by 11:00 last night. That kind of work ethic doesn’t exist in most law firms.
Maryanne is very good. She’s very responsive and does a good job filling in the pieces without doing too much searching. What she sends me has good commentary and the discussions are good.
I have the ability to brainstorm with Maryanne and really discuss things we are doing so together we can come up with the best solutions.
We are blessed to have Maryanne. She is a relatively young partner and really hard-working and smart. She’s a very effective patent lawyer.
