Very professional and fast service. They take their time to explain the process and step by step procedures. Thank you. Will come back for more services.

I was very pleased with the response of your firm. The lawyer held my hand and did his best for me. Always response to all questions. You guys were great.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Kevin Repper of your firm. I found Mr. Repper to be highly professional, knowledgeable, and extremely ethical as he guided a process involving intellectual property expertise. He was efficient in handling every phase of this process, leading to a successful patent application. Thank you DBL for hiring attorneys of this caliber and thank you Kevin! GOD BLESS you all!

I worked with George Hawkins to defend against a property suit. I found him to be thoroughly attentive to my case with clear communication. He kept me inside the decision process and ensured that I understood the ramifications of any action prior to making a decision. In the end, we went to court and the plaintiff's case was thrown out with prejudice.

We needed Trademark and name protection and the service provided was excellent. We are in a new industry and had already found one company trying to make a play on our name.

I have only had great experiences with Tom Dunlap and his legal team. Tom is an amazing guy in too many respects to list them. Competent, professional and integrity.

I was very surprised by the professionalism, speed and good pricing for their services. They helped us with our trademark for ODNOVA and it made a huge difference for our business.

I recently had the great honor of working with Sumedha Bahri as my Patent Attorney. She was most helpful in getting me through the Provisional Patent process. She even worked on the weekend to get my Patent Application submitted, when I needed a rush due to an impending meeting regarding my Invention. She helped me make sure I was protected. I WILL use her again and intend to next week on my next Provisional Patent Application. Sumedha Bahri is the real deal.

We want to compliment and give high praise for the services of DB&L and specifically, Mary Witzel for the unbelievable professional integrity and workmanship. Running a small business, it is extremely reassuring to know we can trust them to take care of everything, especially the items that we never would have thought of.

These guys are the best business law attorneys I have ever come across in my over 25 years of business. If you need someone who will make your opposing party wish they never met you David Keesling is your guy!

My sister and I had a tricky situation with a property we inherited that was tied up in a Land Trust and Robert Deal was able to unravel the many complexities so we could settle on time. Working with DBL was a very enjoyable experience.

Rhonda was a great resource the past several years as I went through several significant changes. She outlined my options with clear explanations about each to help me make a fully informed decision. At my request, she explained these to my family so they could fully understand my options. As events took place that impacted me, she was extremely supportive, again outlining in very clear detail, for both myself and my family, the recommended changes. I would not consider seeing anyone else.

Tom is the charismatic helmsman of a very talented team of attorneys at Dunlap Bennet Ludwig. He is attentive, knowledgeable over a broad range of IP issues, and (importantly) able to manage legal costs. A clever tactician with the gift of the gab in the courtroom, Tom is absolutely the sort of attorney that you want on your team for contentious IP matters. - Niki Kahn, IP Manager & In House Counsel for ZURU Group

There is not a word to describe the pure excellence and pride I have to have such a wonderful law firm that represents my registered trademark froyozombie.

I hesitate to write a glowing review only because I don't want to share him with others! Cortland is so extremely knowledgeable that he can explain the law easily by breaking it down into simple, logical steps. You work with him and understand his thinking. He asks the right questions. On top of this, he is courteous and personable. If Atticus Finch were alive, you would confuse Cortland with him.

Very thorough and professional. Took the time to answer all my questions in detail.

Mr. Bennett was always professional and always available for me during a difficult time. I appreciate his dedication and professionalism. He worked hard and got a great result for me in my case.

Kevin was great to talk to. He made the process of the patent clear and understandable. He offered his services so that we are able to make an informed decision. I would work with him again!

Mr. Bennett is extremely professional and gets the job done. I needed help and he helped me period…he didn’t beat around the bush and kept me very informed on my case and how the law works in detail which helped ease my anxiety. He was compassionate and seemed to really care about helping me with my case and his billing was more than fair.

Tom was responsive to my questions and very easy to talk to. Unlike the first lawyer I worked with he handled the dispute without having to file a lawsuit and without three attorneys on the same case. Great work!

Tom was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He listened to the issue, reviewed the contract in question and left me with the piece of mind of knowing that the contract worked in my favor. He advised me on how to proceed as well as provided additional legal resources. Received great legal advise and would definitely contact him again.

I contacted Mr. Bennett to represent me before the USAF. He was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I was most impressed by his willingness to spend the time needed to properly prepare and to keep me informed about the process. And we were successful defending the action.

Ellis handled our complex contract litigation matter very well. He took the time to clearly explain what the issues were, what the process would be, and what to expect. Our case was resolved successfully and at a very reasonable cost. I would definitely use his services again if needed, and would highly recommend him.

By the time I was referred to David, I had received a good deal of conflicting advice on the same relatively simple business matter. Although not intimidated by the legal process, I was thoroughly at a loss for how to proceed. David very quickly made sense of the problem, carefully explained possible solutions, and was receptive to my many follow up questions. Because of his efficiency, I don’t expect to have an extended relationship, but the fact that he was simultaneously approachable, knowledgeable, and reassuring will definitely bring me back if the need arises. I am grateful that with his help, I feel very much in control of the next steps for my business.

Ellis is very hardworking and responsive. He keeps us informed at every turn and goes above and beyond everything we hoped for. I have complete confidence in his ability and highly recommend him.

David’s best attributes are honesty, frankness, and patience. We had a steep hill to climb via-a-vis my case and he was careful to discuss the pitfalls and risks at the outset. Everything was done in a timely, professional manner and he seemed to have the respect of the opposing attorneys and worked with them to my benefit. He successfully steered the case over the first major hurtle but we couldn’t make it over the last but it was not his fault. A decent, honest fellow. I recommend him highly.The firm’s reception is pleasant also and always made me comfortable before my meetings with David.

Tom Dunlap is a rare find in the legal profession. He is very knowledgeable, tactful and a very skilled attorney. I know that Tom is in high demand, and I can see why. He made me feel like I was his only client. Dedication, personal attention and an ability to explain the technical issues of law made Tom really shine against other attorney’s I’ve worked with. I cannot recommend Tom Dunlap enough! He truly does great work!

Kevin laid out everything related to our patent questions very clearly and was an excellent help!

Mr. Bennett is beyond reproach. I was being sued in by a very aggressive Law Firm whose customer stated that his intent was not necessarily to win, but to use the legal system to “destroy” me. Mr. Bennett’s solid knowledge in the law and extreme diligence to the complex details of every matter in the case completely abated their goals. When working with Mr. Bennett you get the impression that you are his only client and he always has your case in mind. I HIGHLY recommend this Attorney.

I stated the main purpose of the initial consultation with Tom Dunlap as needing direct advice on applying for a Trademark for my invented product. I needed his expert opinion on whether the “conflicts” of other products with similar names to mine were serious enough to keep mine from being granted a Trademark, also. He dove right in, looked at my search results, asked some pertinent questions and gave me his opinion, and made several suggestions on how to maximize my chances. He was most helpful and knowledgeable.

Too many times have I talked with attorneys who have waffled their way through the conversation, either scared to stick their neck out or not knowledgeable enough on the topic. This was NOT the case with Tom Dunlap. He gave clear, concise, actionable views based on his experience and expertise. Highly recommended.

Tom is very professional and wise beyond his years. I have already told 10 business friends about Tom’s services. I hope his firm runs for centuries!

Mr. Ludwig is a consummate professional with a wide breadth of knowledge into copyright law and trademark issues. I have a somewhat complicated case and Mr. Ludwig took a lot of time and care to help me wade through the details to make my options clearer. I absolutely would recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice in these matters. A+++

Very evolved and experienced wisdom given. My philosophy in how to deal with conflict and issues in business was completely inline with David’s. Not the typical ‘lawyer’ stereotype. A real breath of fresh air.

I have consulted Mr. Ludwig on several occasions for the same reason: he has a way of explaining copyright and trademark law that provides the average consumer with the tools necessary to make informed decisions about the matter at hand. I value his advice and will contact him again, if the need arises.
