Posted by anonymous | July 24, 2020 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Not just a great lawyer, but a great person.

I called Adam about an intellectual property case. Within a few minutes, it was clear that it was not in my best interest to take any legal action (meaning he was not going to receive money from me). With this in mind, he still spent over 30 minutes more explaining things to me, to help alleviate the... stress and confusion I was experiencing. I am extremely thankful for the time he spent and if I (or anyone I know) need legal help in the area of IP, I will recommend Adam. Because it is clear that it works in his client's best interest.

Awesome attorney.

Adam did a trademark registration for me. Definitely on top of his game, and great communication turnaround.

Very professional

I was having problems with copyright infringement, I had no idea what was going on or what to do. After spending many hours trying to find a solution I ran across Adam Urbanczyk on a website www.TorrentLitigation.com . I sent him an E-mail and within a couple of hours I got a call. He explained to m...e what was going on and what my options were. He was very knowledgeable on the matter, and in the end helped me end the terrible experience I was going through. He is very trustworthy, and always kept me informed on what the other party was doing. I recommend that if you are going through a similar problem, E-mail or call him and he will explain everything in great detail and take some of the pressure that you are feeling, off.

Same Day Callbacks

Adam provided an overview of trademark and patent processes and under what circumstances I could pursue them. He was responsive and complete with regard to every detail.
