I highly recommend this firm!
I have been a client of the DuBoff Law Group since 1997. During that time, Leonard DuBoff has represented my company in 2 legal cases, and has advised on hundreds of IP issues in the areas of Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, and Trade Dress. Leonard is both highly knowledgeable, and able to make complex IP issues understandable by the lay person. During this 20 year period, Leonard and his team have provided top notch service while at the same time working carefully to save my company from paying unnecessary expenses. I would highly recommend DuBoff Law to any company struggling with the complex issues of IP protection, litigation, and management.
