Expert guidance through a complex trademark dispute

Our company faced a challenging trademark infringement issue that threatened our brand identity. We engaged Erick Howard at Shartsis Friese, and his counsel was invaluable. His deep knowledge of both intellectual property litigation and trademark law, honed over a distinguished career since his University of Chicago J.D., was immediately apparent. Erick expertly navigated the commercial litigation aspects, providing a strategic assessment that was both pragmatic and protective of our interests. His professionalism in managing the case, from initial filings through negotiation, was exceptional. It's clear why he is recognized by Best Lawyers in these fields. The outcome was a favorable settlement that fully protected our trademark rights. I highly recommend Erick for his expertise, clear communication, and dedication to achieving the best possible result for his clients.
