"Rosario was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout my trademark matter. He reviewed a complex trademark ownership dispute involving a competing USPTO application and provided a detailed written legal opinion within 24 hours. His analysis was thorough, practical, and easy to understand, and he took the time to explain both the legal and business implications of the situation. I especially appreciated his honest advice, cost-conscious approach, and focus on finding the most effective path forward rather than pursuing unnecessary litigation. I highly recommend Rosario for trademark, intellectual property, and business-related legal matters."

"Worked with Brent on a legal review for my business and would absolutely engage him again. Two things really stood out: speed — he turned around a comprehensive deliverable on a tight timeline — and framing — the entire analysis was built around enabling the business, not just flagging risk. He's sharp, knowledgeable, refreshingly practical, and treats founders as partners. Highly recommend to any founder looking for outside counsel who actually thinks like an operator."
