Review 3 — Patent Client

I had an idea for a patent and some rough drawings, which I cleaned up over time. I spoke with Richard at length over what my device was going to do. There were several reviews with the patent office, of which my presence was NOT required until finally my patent was approved……
All in all, I have no regrets with using the Eldredge Law Firm and will use them again without question. They were immediately responsive to my questions and a pleasure to work with.
