Liam O’Connor
I came to Stemp & Company specifically for their expertise in intellectual property. Filing a patent can be an incredibly dauntng process, but Bill and his team navigated it with ease. They were very thorough in the prior art search and honest about the likelihood of success. It is rare to find this level of specialized knowledge in a local firm.
Wei Zhang
We needed to trademark our new business logo and name to protect our brand before launching. The team was fantastic at explaining the different classes of goods and services so we didn’t waste money on unnecessary registrations. The whole process was smooth and professional. Highly recommend for any small business owners.

I have been using this firm for my corporate annual returns and recently for updating my will. They are an “old school” firm in the best way possible—very professional, reliable, and they value long-term relationships. You never feel like you are just being churned through a system.
Chloe Dubois
Excellent service. My partner and I needed legal advice regarding a copyright issue with our software. The advice we received was practical and helped us resolve the dispute without going to court. Responsive, sharp, and very fair with their billing.
