‘When considering law firms, I reached out to state reps working to pass intellectual property law, as well as lawyers I knew, for recommendations. Beck Reed Riden was overwhelming the firm recommended. Upon engaging them it became clear why. Their knowledge of not only intellectual property law, but employment issues in general, was at the core of navigating my legal matter to a successful conclusion. In addition, their immediate attention to all matters and the care and passion they showed me throughout my ordeal went above my highest expectations.’
