I have been a client of Sharon Givoni Consulting for over 20 years, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. As trademark lawyers, they have expertly handled all my business trademark lodgings and have successfully defended against numerous infringements. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to their clients are truly exceptional. If you need reliable and experienced trademark lawyers, look no further than Sharon Govoni Consulting.

Thanks so much to all at Sharon Givoni Consulting for helping out on many matters in IP and employment relations. It was always a pleasure dealing with your staff and the Principal, Ms Givoni, who personally oversaw each issue. I would recommend the practice highly especially in the area of IP where there are few specialist practices. Being able to read the relevant parts of the book on the subject, "Owning It,", written by Ms Givoni and then see how this applied to our cases made the whole process much easier to understand. Their costs and fees were very reasonable too. Thank you once again.
