hi everybody I'm trademark attorney Josh gurbin and welcome to episode 3 of ask a trademark attorney today's question is do I need to hire a trademark attorney near me and the answer is no you can hire a trademark attorney from anywhere in the United States to help with your United States trademark application unlike other areas of law trademark law is federal in nature this means that an attorney in Washington DC like myself could help a client from California from Washington state from New England from Florida we work with clients from all 50 states matter of fact we work with clients from multiple countries around the globe but your trademark attorney doesn't have to be near you the one instance where you may want to have a trademark attorney in the same state or town that you're in is if you're involved in federal litigation in this case the attorney that you hire will need to be licensed and admitted to the particular court that your case is in but if all you're looking to do is conduct a trademark search and file a trademark application you are not required to hire a trademark attorney near you in today's world with phone and email you really don't need to be able to walk into an attorney's office and talk to them face-to-face and in many cases keeping your communication - phone and email will keep your fees down when you're working with an attorney for example in our firm we have a flat rate service that clients can use if they're willing to limit communication to phone and email and do not require in-person meetings that's because we can effectively deliver the legal services and do so in a much narrower scope of time than if we're taking in-person meetings this keeps the fees down for the client and keeps the work moving right along thank you for your question and I'll talk to you next time you
Thanks for your comment Darren Corban, have a nice day.

hi I'm u.s. trademark attorney Morris Turek if you're seeking legal assistance with a trademark matter one of the first things you might do is type trademark attorney near me into Google or another search engine and see whose website pops up and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them such a search would probably reveal at least a couple of nearby attorneys who you could further research and look into maybe you'll find a local trademark attorney who seems friendly competent reliable trustworthy and affordable but maybe you won't and that's perfectly okay you know why because you can work with any trademark attorney you want regardless of whether the attorney is located down the street or across the country this is especially true if you're seeking trademark search or trademark registration services or if you require assistance with a trademark office action trademark opposition or trademark cancellation now there are a number of legitimate reasons why you may choose to only consider the nearby trademark attorneys who appear when you search trademark attorney near me in Google or perhaps by using a voice-activated virtual assistant here are a few of them one since the trademark attorneys would be within driving distance or accessible through public transportation you could have an in-person meeting with them rather than just a telephone call having said that Skype and other video conferencing software makes face-to-face meetings possible regardless of location too if you live in one of the 10 largest metropolitan areas in the United States there are likely many nearby trademark attorneys to choose from and meet with but keep in mind that the majority of them probably work in the downtown business district where traffic and parking can be a major headache and expense 3 if you need to file a trademark infringement lawsuit against someone who lives or operates in your local area then it often makes sense the hiring local trademark attorney rather than one who is far away and for perhaps you already have confidence in a nearby trademark attorney because people you know have previously hired the attorney and have expressed their satisfaction with attorneys knowledge skills and work ethic but as you can imagine limiting your options to the results of an internet search for trademark attorney near me may not always be the best idea for example one if you live in a very rural community there simply may be no attorneys near you who focus their practice solely on trademark law - if you live in a small town the attorneys nearby may have only dabbled in trademark law and by might have the wealth of experience you're looking for 3 if you reside in a large urban area such as New York Los Angeles Miami or Chicago nearby trademark attorneys may charge significantly higher fees than attorneys located in smaller cities or different regions of the United States for the trademark attorneys near you may not be the perfect fit for what you're trying to accomplish 5 nearby trademark attorneys may have poor online reviews or perhaps no reviews or client testimonials at all and 6 trademark attorneys near you may not be familiar with your particular industry or a line of business again my name is Morris Turek I'm an experienced and dedicated trademark attorney who works with individuals businesses and organizations no matter where they're located my trademark law practice is based in the medium-sized mists Midwestern city of st. Louis Missouri home of the beautiful Gateway Arch and the infamous cheese known as prevail of course my web site may not show up in a Google search for trademark attorney near me if you happen to live hundreds or thousands of miles away from my office but guess what we are still only one phone call or one email away from starting a conversation about your particular trademark matter so when you're ready to begin that conversation I hope you'll consider reaching out to me for an absolutely free and confidential consultation I look forward to hearing from you soon you
Thanks saraerrffz your participation is very much appreciated
