Brad was always available to answer questions and always ensured they were answered in their entirety. I had spoken to other attorneys who just wanted to throw a large $$$ retainer without explaining exactly what they could deliver. Brad looked over the issue I brought to him, assessed the situation, and clearly explained what he could deliver. Brad ensured every aspect of the case was reviewed to ensure the best outcome was achieved. When meeting with Brad, he ensured his focus was on you and made you feel like his only client was you. Hands down, I highly recommend Brad!

Brad was my fiancé’s attorney, he was truly exceptional from start to finish. He was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and well-mannered throughout the entire process. He consistently kept us informed, was reliable every step of the way, and ultimately got our case dismissed. His professionalism and dedication made a stressful situation so much easier. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a defense attorney—his service is outstanding and absolutely deserves five stars. Thank you Brad!! Vinny and Melissa

I spoke with several attorneys before I decided on Brad. It was clear to me based on these discussions, that Brad was the one to go with - he is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in the field of copyright law. The information he provided was more consistent with my own research than others, he was able to share new information with me that I was able to independently confirm as accurate, and his proposed action plan and projected goal for settlement was far better than the competition. Brad answered literally all of my questions to my satisfaction and made himself available and accessible for regular contact via multiple methods. Brad is also very familiar with the attorneys in this space on the opposing side and has much experience in dealing with them. In the end, the whole process took about 6-7 weeks, and we settled for an amount that was even better than our initial projected goal. I am very pleased and impressed with the outcome and Brad's overall performance. I would certainly engage him again in the future and would recommend him to anyone attempting to effectively and efficiently resolve a copyright case. Five Stars.
