Your business grew.
Your legal protection should catch up.
You built the name, earned the customers, and created something people recognize. Now let's handle the trademark protection that's been sitting on your to-do list—with attorney strategy, clear guidance, and no seventeen-tab legal research spiral.
Attorney-led clearance • Filing strategy • Federal application • Ongoing guidance
It's more than a name when you've built a business behind it.
You've spent months—maybe years—building recognition around a name. A storefront. A program. A product line. A body of work people now associate with you.
And trademark protection has been sitting quietly on the "I'll handle that later" list, somewhere between rebranding the website and finally updating your contracts.
- “I'm probably not big enough yet.”
- “I already have an LLC.”
- “I'll deal with trademarks when the business gets bigger.”
- “I don't know if my name can even be protected.”
- “I have no idea where to start.”
“I'll handle trademarks when the business gets bigger” gets interesting when you realize…it did.
Somewhere along the way, the business you were “seeing where this goes” with became a brand you intend to keep. You aren't behind. It may simply be time for the protection side of the business to catch up.

How It Works
What this actually feels like.
Four stages. No guesswork about where you are.
- 01
Tell Me About Your Brand
A short questionnaire in the secure portal. No meeting required to begin.
- 02
Search + Strategy
I research your mark and tell you plainly what I see and what I recommend.
- 03
Prepare + File
If we move forward, your application is prepared and filed.
- 04
Monitor + Navigate
I watch the application and reach out when there's something worth knowing.
Trademark registration takes time, and no attorney can control the USPTO's timeline. But you won't be left wondering what happens next.
The Experience
Personal legal guidance. Without unnecessary back-and-forth.
This is intentionally a boutique experience. The process is designed so that your time is spent on the parts that actually matter—your brand, your strategy, your decisions—rather than chasing updates.
The application is not the strategy. Attorney judgment where it matters. Streamlined everywhere else.
- Attorney guidance whenever legal judgment is needed
- Clear next steps at every stage
- A secure client portal
- Proactive, meaningful updates
- Plain-English explanations, not legalese
- No unnecessary meetings—and a consultation whenever one is genuinely useful
- You shouldn't have to email and ask where things stand—you'll hear from us when there's something to know.
Who This Is For
Built for founder-led brands people already recognize.
The E-Commerce Founder
Your name is appearing on products, packaging, marketing, and customer orders—and you're building recognition around it.
The Local Business Owner
You've built real goodwill around your business name and want to be intentional about protecting it.
The Growing Founder
Your business isn't just an experiment anymore. You're building something you intend to keep.
You don't need to be a huge company to start thinking like a brand owner.
What's Not Included
Clear scope. No mystery.
The flat-fee trademark package covers the work described above. It does not automatically include unrelated or later-stage legal matters, such as:
- TTAB proceedings
- Trademark litigation
- Enforcement or cease-and-desist matters
- Oppositions or cancellations
- International trademark filings
- Client-caused refiling or new applications
- Additional marks
- Clearance searches beyond the included courtesy alternative-mark search
- Post-registration legal services outside the stated scope
Office Action support is included within the defined scope of representation, up to the point where a TTAB proceeding would be required. If something arises outside the scope of your package, I'll explain the issue and your options—which may require separate representation and fees—before additional legal work is undertaken.
