Bio
Tiffani Ashley Bell
Lori is an absolutely great IP attorney. In the middle of a trademark panic last year, I sent her an email concerning an infringement on Pencil You In. She contacted me almost immediately and got the process going for officially protecting our trademark. Shortly after contacting me, we'd had a trademark application filed and were dealing directly with the infringers. In a change of approach, I decided not to show my hand and threaten legal action immediately. Lori provided feedback on how to proceed. Then, when negotiations ended, she drafted a domain name transfer agreement and presided over a successful transfer and full federal trademark registration. She was awesome!

Lori is one of those rare attorneys who is both good at what she does and a pleasure to work with, making the legal process seem easy. Lori knows her stuff, be it intellectual property, corporate transactions or contracts work, and she always brings a positive, can-do attitude to any table. I highly recommend Lori as an effective legal services provider and as a caring and considerate human being.
