Wow. David was recommended to me by a friend in business as I was starting up my own. He exceeded all of my expectations and I will certainly be recommending him to anyone who asks me. Aside from his responsiveness and professionalism, I truly appreciated how straightforward David was about cost. David was fantastic at explaining processes. He was also honest about what absolutely needed to be done and what was a judgement call or preference. I will be maintaining David to handle annual compliance matters. Thank you David! read more

Called and he wanted to know my tv show concept and refused to help me draft a contract when I didn't tell him the concept to protect intellectual property. Do not trust! read more

David is an absolute professional in every single way. He is always patient, calm, and willing to listen before responding. On top of that, he is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. I have been working with David for over three years at this point, and have never had any issues. If you have a business he will protect you, your employees, and your assets. Do yourself a favor and hire him, you will not regret it. read more

I reached out to David Lizerbram & Associates for a particularly tricky intellectual property issue within the tabletop roleplaying game industry. He had a wealth of knowledge and was able to explain everything clearly, so I felt confident moving forward with the project. He answered all my questions, and he was able to help me see the larger picture on areas that I did not understand as well. He takes on projects with a collaborative sense to help you achieve your goals. The meetings were incredibly productive, and he was respectful of our time. Not everyone looks forward to "needing a lawyer." But honestly? I hope I do have the chance to work with David Lizerbram again. For people who work in creative fields (especially the gaming industry), I can't think of anyone better than David Lizerbram to represent you. read more

As a freelance photographer, I'm always fighting the uphill battle of tracking down instances of my photos being used uncredited and unauthorized across the internet. Until recently, I have gotten along fine just handling the matters myself as they come up. However, a few weeks ago, I discovered that a website with paid advertisements littered across the page was using 16 of my professional photos as content for a blog post. This use was not only uncredited and unauthorized, but demeaning to the subjects that I shot. As it was a clear violation of copyright, I demanded payment for my services, and with David backing me up (and taking over all communications from that point onward), I am set to receive the full balance owed to me for my work within one month of the initial violation. David was absolutely a lifesaver when it came to dealing with this person. As a photographer, I know my rights in regard to copyright law, but it was a huge weight off my shoulders to know that someone else with authority on the issue was handling the case. He also understood that as a freelancer, I don't have a lot of extra budget for lawyers and whatnot, and we were able to strike a deal that was well within my means. A smart move for him, as he now has a client for life! Of course I hope that I don't have any further copyright issues in the future, but as a photographer in the digital age, I can't bet on that. However, I can at least have the peace of mine that the next time one comes up, I've got David on my side. read more

We started a new business not too long ago and we needed a lawyer to help set up our LLC. David and his firm were very helpful and VERY efficient. He had everything ready for us within a day or two and we were up an running in no time. He had the expertise to help us choose the best setup for our company and gave us great advice regarding the ownership and participation structure for of each partner. He is always available to help and give you advice and we really enjoy working with his firm. His team is very knowledgeable in all areas of business law so we are planning to come back for Employee Contracts, T&C and trademarks. read more

We found ourselves in a tradmark versus dba situation and found David Lizerbram & Associates off of facebook. First, they were quick to respond and pinpointed our needs. Second, they got back to us with an analysis that was detailed and to the point. What they did so far over the internet and phone was more than one would expect before even meeting or signing up for their services. The result was clearcut and presentable to all parties that needed to get their analysis. They also found out the big expensive firm that did the work years ago? Scammed us by pushing a trademark submission to just trademark the logo when they found out they could not trademark the name. David Lizerbram & Associates is now where we will go and who we will refer. read more

I saw David's good reviews on Yelp, gave him a call and was glad I did. I had contacted a few other trademark lawyers who sounded like they could do the job ok, but we chose David to help us register our trademark because he took the time to explain things to me and in a simple, non-condescending way. David charged us a fair price, did what he said he would do, answered my questions and kept me updated along the way = uncommonly good service. read more

David is GREAT! I was in the middle of purchasing a small business and needed someone to quickly review the purchase agreement and lease agreement.

Nothing but a complete pleasure to work with. read more

David has been great to work with. Used him to register our corporate trademarks. He is thorough, communicates well, and follows up in a timely fashion.

David, Just wanted to say that you did a great job on the business contracts that you made for my business. Thank you for being professional and also not charging my one MILLION dollars.

Owning a small business or simply being self employed certainly has perks! Not having a large HR department or a Legal Department isn't one of those perks. Luckily, you can have David on your team. On more than one occasion, I have sent a voice mail or an e-mail to David regarding the contract he created for me. Each time, I have received quick and concise answers that help me formulate my next steps. It feels good to have the right information, and it feels good to have the right contract, tailored for my needs. If you are a small business, self employed--- or creating a new venture, gather all your bits and pieces and meet with David.

You would have a whole different opinion about lawyers if they were more like this guy! Personable, knowledgeable, replies quickly to emails and answers the phone when you call. Sometimes you deal with a business and giving them a 5-Star review doesn't feel like it's enough praise. Working with David was one of those times. Thanks again! read more

Starting a business is probably one of the most difficult things I've had to do in my life so far. Every piece, step, and process has been, without fail, a hurdle to overcome. That's what I thought, until I met David Lizerbram and Associates. As a small business owner, I have to juggle every aspect of my business on my own. I almost thought about registering my business name on my own, but weighed out my options and realized what the time and money sacrifice would be. He simplified my options and provided me a complete breakdown of the trademark process. From my initial meeting with David, I was already sold on utilizing his service and experience to complete my trademark. Hands down, without a question, would definitely recommend David. If I had to do it again or for another business, I would still go with David. read more

I've grown my business with David's firm and look forward to continuing the relationship in the future. Thank you David. read more

It is a great pleasure writing this review for David. David has helped my business in filing two Trademark applications with USPTO. He is very knowledgable and friendly. He took out time during our first meeting (Dec 2014) to explain me the basics of trademark and the registration process. He performed the background searches on our marks and drafted our applications. He kept me in loop during the process and I could track the progress of my application. Now in August 2015, both of my trademarks are approved and registered by USPTO. David has done a great job! Also, his fee is competitive and affordable. Certainly, I will go back to him for my future trademark and business related legal services. read more
