Expert Advice
I’ve known Andy for roughly 5 years now. ALCOM Inc. engaged Andy to be responsible for all of our Intellectual Property in both the US and Canada. He’s done a great job at registering marks that I anticipated were not registrable. His analysis and conclusions are in depth and accurate – the markings of a real expert. He has achieved great results both timely and cost effectively. On top of his legal ability, he’s a great human being that gives lawyers a good name. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing IP work.

Overall Rating: Excellent
We’ve used Andy on a few different occasions. We’ve used his services for writing new contracts, used him to acquire a trade mark for our logo and we have used him for collections. He is excellent in all aspects. He researches all areas of the case instead of just putting something out there with no basis. Andy will let you know when he thinks that it is in your best interest to walk away. Definitely not your average attorney.
