5 /5 Perry Rod: Steve is a sharp, reliable attorney who brings both deep legal knowledge and a practical, strategic mindset to every matter he handles. He’s especially skilled in intellectual property law, helping secure patents, register trademarks, and protecting technology and business methods in a way that aligns with our broader goals. Steve also has a strong grasp of real estate and business law, making him a unique valuable partner to a startup. Whether he’s drafting licensing agreements, guiding us through a complex IP issue, or even structuring a real estate transaction, Steve always takes the time to explain things clearly, thinks a few steps ahead, and makes sure we feel confident in our decisions. We trust him not just for his legal expertise, but for his honest advice, responsiveness, and ability to make complicated things feel manageable. It’s difficult to imagine having anyone else support us from the start.
