"We were introduced to Marcus Risso through a very highly-respected vendor in our industry. We've been going to IP Attorneys for decades, some in Southern California, others in Chicago. All big firms. Most were great, aside from the fact they charge obscene fees, pretend to care, and rarely dive into your IP with recommendations or advise. Marcus (thankfully) is none of that. Polar opposite. He is quick to reply (even while on vacation), remarkably fast turnaround, more than reasonable rates, and thorough. Thorough being the absolute key word. We have used Marcus' services for technology, toys & games, and more. His attention to detail, swift communication, knowledge and professionalism... you'll only get from boutique IP attorneys like Marcus. We deal with AAA entertainment and gaming studios, and simply can't afford any slip-ups. Only regret, took us 4 decades to finally find Marcus, someone we truly trust with all our IP. 100%. "
