I wish I would have done more research before choosing Richard for my patent needs. If you Google…read moreLeavitt Eldredge Law Firm, you'll find several separate Google business listings for reviews. In my opinion, Richard is one of the worst patent attorneys in the Metroplex. I initially met with Brandon for an informal intake meeting, and he gave me a brief overview of the patent process. The few interactions I had with Brandon were professional, and I feel bad that his name is tied to Richard's. Brandon told me Richard would be reaching out to finalize the details. After collecting payment and filing applications, communication became extremely difficult. Sometimes Richard would respond, and other times he wouldn't. Since I was new to the patent process, I assumed this was normal. I repeatedly asked about expediting my patent application. Richard told me it had been expedited, and I even paid additional fees for expedited examination, but nothing ever happened. It wasn't long before competitors began copying my designs. Richard told me a patent infringement analysis was required to determine whether infringement was occurring. In my view, the copied product was virtually identical. I paid for the infringement analysis, and Richard then advised that a continuation application should be filed. I paid for the continuation on June 13, 2024, but it was not filed until December 17, 2024. During that time, I was repeatedly told someone would "circle back" with me, yet updates rarely came. Phone calls and emails often went unanswered, and it became extremely difficult to get information about my case. After I made it clear that I was seeking a different attorney, the continuation was finally filed. When my new attorney obtained power of attorney and reviewed the continuation, I was advised there was little that could be done with it, and we ultimately allowed it to go abandoned. Despite this, I was told no refund would be issued for the continuation because, according to Richard, "work was done." The firm also attempted to have me sign an NDA in exchange for receiving money back for services related to the continuation that I believed had not been properly performed. My biggest regret is losing the opportunity to obtain European patent protection. I first requested a European filing toward the end of 2022 while the application was still within the applicable deadline. I paid for the European application in February 2023, yet the filing was never completed before the deadline. Later, I was told the European application was related to the continuation application, which I had not even requested until more than a year after originally asking about European protection. My patent remained pending for approximately three years despite my repeated requests to expedite prosecution. Eventually, I terminated Richard's representation and hired a different patent attorney. Within approximately six months, my patent was issued. More importantly, my new attorney actually communicated with me and kept me informed throughout the process. As I stated in the beginning, do your research.

He reviewed the details and laid out multiple course of action, including his recommended approach. He even dissuaded me from engaging his services at this time, advising me not only how to save in legal fees, but providing sound advice on next steps with specific critical details. While I have not engaged his services as a client yet, I am so glad I took the time to meet him and seek his counsel. Tim clearly operates from a high level of integrity. This is someone you want in your corner! Highly recommend Evergreen Law.

The company as a whole demonstrates a lack of flexibility and open communication. Procedures are…read morerepeatedly justified with statements such as "it is our policy," yet copies of these policies are not readily provided when requested. Clients are asked to complete extensive paperwork containing highly personal information before any initial consultation takes place. When questions or concerns are raised, the response is often that it may be "best to part ways," as though the firm is entitled to decide on a client's behalf. This approach reflects a lack of integrity and compassion in dealing with people. The law was created by and for the people, not to be shielded behind vague policies. If Crain and Wooley prefer to operate strictly behind internal policies rather than transparency and dialogue, that is their choice--but it speaks volumes about their values.

It's true!…read more My husband & I are faced with an "unpleasant" situation and all the advice in the world hasn't helped us understand our legal rights. We did a deep search on what kind of lawyer we needed and who in our area knew this kind of law. We found a few firms that were a good fit for us, but Crain & Wooley got our business first because they offered a generous free consultation. Giving back to the community (offering services) gave us a chance to learn more about our dilemma without it costing us $$$$. The process for getting a consultation was straightforward and easy. Crain & Wooley are great people to work with! They assigned us to Shelly Joyner. We were pleased to meet someone so friendly, and not intimidating. She talked about the weather, football, and family before we got down to business. She became human to us, someone we could trust, she was much more than a straight-faced serious 'get to the point' lawyer. Her approach made us comfortable in revealing a situation that was private and personal to us. She patiently listened to our story. She looked through the documents we brought. She looked up a few things she had access to and then gave us some advice that finally made sense. We were impressed with her explanations, compassion for our situation and went into the details for the services we would need to fix it. It was time well spent. We certainly have work to do! We need to do it asap, but there was no high pressure sales from Ms. Joyner. She offered to make an appointment to get started, but she was perfectly ok with us returning when we were ready. We have a few things to sort through before we dive in. Nonetheless, this is our law firm. We will be giving them our business. If you are seeking legal guidance regarding estate planning options or review what you think you have in place, this is your law firm! I'm confident that anyone you are assigned to will professional.
