Client Reviews
"In addition to filing my trademark application in a timely fashion, Zvi provided clear explanations on details I never even would have thought of otherwise. He was a pleasure to work with."
"Given his lengthy experience in the area, Zvi was very knowledgeable about the process of trademark searches & registrations. He filed my trademark application quickly and offered to further work with the trademark office should any issues arise later at rates that seemed reasonable. Overall, he was a pleasure to work with. Recommended."
"Zvi Raskin is a Yale trained lawyer with deep experience in public and private small and medium size businesses. He could easily be a senior partner at a top tier law firm (with top tier billing rates) but has chosen a more independent route. He recently handled an employee termination matter for me and achieved a great outcome. Zvi is creative and collaborative. While he can be plenty tough when the job requires it, he is known for bringing parties together, finding solutions to complex problems and leaving all sides feeling the outcome is a win-win."
