An exceptional advocate for complex intellectual property disputes

When our company faced a high-stakes patent infringement lawsuit, we turned to John Artz at Dickinson Wright. His 33 years of focused experience in IP litigation were immediately evident. John possesses a rare combination of deep technical understanding and formidable courtroom strategy. He guided us through every phase with clarity, from the initial analysis to a highly favorable settlement. His recognition as Lawyer of the Year in Patent Law for Ann Arbor is well-deserved. John is not just a brilliant legal mind; he is a strategic partner who listens intently and explains complex matters in practical terms. We felt thoroughly represented and protected throughout the entire process. I recommend him without reservation.
