      Patent attorney associate. Leslie Lott and David Friedland were great mentors. Coral Gables was a beautiful place - lots of culture. However, our family was on the west coast of Florida so moving back made sense. Leslie and David are excellent IP attorneys and I highly recommend them. Patent attorney associate.
