How we do it
By listening to our clients we have adopted a fresh way of doing business.
We use modern technology and innovative staffing models to provide streamlined service without the traditional law firm infrastructure.
What this means is that we utilize only necessary legal and administrative staff; fair and reasonable fees, including flat fees and blended fee arrangements; physical offices only as needed with a near paperless environment; and responsive services, including services outside "traditional" business hours.
This provides you with greater accessibility to your lawyers, value for money, certainty on fees, and a more "green" and "renewable" method of doing business.
Please take a look around to learn more, or get in touch with us now.

Financial Securities Law
Stay Compliant with Federal and State Securities Regulations! Register your Securities or Qualify for an Exemption from Registration.
As you are most likely aware, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulates securities, but what is a security? The definition of a “security” was established in the Supreme Court case SEC v. W. J. Howey Co., a security is defined using a four part test: (1) the investment of money (2) in a common enterprise (3) with expectation of profits (4) solely from the efforts of others.

Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution and granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression.

Photography and Image Rights.

Internet Domain Names as Trademarks.
Registering and using a domain name is easy, just be the first person to register it, or purchase the registration rights from someone else. As long as you pay your registration fee each year you can use the domain name as you wish, provided you are not breaking the law or infringing on another’s rights. However, using a domain name in commerce to the point that it can receive federal trademark registration is not so easy, and in some cases not possible.

Obscenity Laws.
With the ever shortening attention span of the public, entertainers and entertainment providers keep pushing the envelope, presenting content that is often more “edgy” and outrageous than ever. Content that was taboo just a decade ago is finding its way not only into satellite/cable broadcasting but also onto the public airwaves as part of popular primetime traditional network programs.
