Debbie has over 10 years of patent secretary experience and is very knowledgeable in terms of patent prosecution. She is very detail oriented and works well with others. She pays attention to the attorney’s work habit and tailors her patent prep work based on the specific requirements of the attorney she is assisting. She is self-motivated and is always willing to put in the extra hours to finish the workload assigned to her. I highly recommend her.
