Slick, compelling website. Nightmare experience…read more Once you sign their contract, prepare to beg. The first draft deadline for the contracted non-provisional patent application was catastrophically missed. The reason? The lawyer Mr. Rapacke outsourced my application to, who lived in another state, missed the initial deadline and then went on vacation. He then slow-walked the draft reviews and ran out the clock until the filing deadline (a classic fixed-fee lawyer move). No problem for RLG, as they'll happily file your application in an unfinished state with more typos and mislabeled figures than a third grader's paper. I begged them to fix it and was ignored. Some associate in Colorado then called to collect the rest of their fee, unaware the application wasn't complete. I begged Mr. Rapacke to finish the application himself, but was ignored. I begged again, and 45 days later, I received a partial response that addressed only a fraction of the necessary work. I fired Mr. Rapacke and learned through my new lawyer that there were two USPTO letters regarding the application that RLG never forwarded (a major RLG contract breach and violation of The Florida Bar rules), and the application had become abandoned--dead in the water. Under the RLG's care my ap sank quietly, like a ship in the night and I paid my new lawyer a significant amount to salvage the application and requested a refund from RLG to refund their fee and cover the new work...but all I got from Mr. Rapacke was deflection and gaslighting. Ignore, deflect, derange. They ignored my stated issues, deflected the blame onto me, and derange the facts. Ignore, deflect, derange--for months. Every attempt to settle was met with that technique. I'm now paying significantly more for my patent application, and Mr. Rapacke still retains my 50% fee for contracted work he never delivered. What an awful, expensive, and soul-crushing experience. 0/10...would NOT recommend. A quick note to others who may have experienced unethical representation from the RLG. You can file a free complaint with The Florida Bar at this link : https://www.floridabar.org/public/acap/filing-a-complaint/ Complaints can also be brought to USPTO regarding Mr. Rapacke as he was also just reprimanded by the USPTO (March '25) and is currently on probation. https://foiadocuments.uspto.gov/oed/Rapacke-Final-Order-(D2025-16)-redactions-applied-Redacted.pdf Mr. Rapacke was also sued in 2024 for another failure to notify their clients of USPTO letters that lead to their patent becoming abandoned : https://www.law360.com/pulse/articles/1815160/law-firm-hit-with-suit-over-abandoned-patent-application

1 star. My experience was poor communication during a time-sensitive patent prosecution matter,…read moreincluding confusion over USPTO Office Action updates, billing, RCE strategy, and transition handling. I ultimately lost confidence in the firm's responsiveness and client communication at a critical stage.

I heard through the grapevine that Olsen Law Group has a radio show where you can call in with questions. After looking on the internet, I saw that you could email questions to them, and so I did. I received a response within hours and then a reply with additional information that went above what I asked. I so appreciate the time they took to help me. Not only did they save me money, but they gave me an alternate route to try, to solve my problem. If I ever need an attorney, I will call Olsen Law Group and make an appointment. Thank you for offering this free service.

Olsen Law Group wasted four months of our time while we waited for assistance probating a timeshare…read morein Orlando after my parents passed away. Calls and emails were consistently ignored, and communication throughout the entire process was terrible. Despite always responding promptly and providing every requested document the same day it was requested, we were repeatedly left without updates or answers. After four months of unanswered emails, unreturned phone calls, and no meaningful progress, I finally decided to hire another law firm to handle the matter. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of assistance or response directly from Mr. Olsen to rectify the situation. I am highly disappointed by the level of unprofessionalism displayed by this law group during such a difficult and stressful time for our family. For your own sanity and peace of mind, I would strongly recommend steering clear of Olsen Law Group.
