PEOPLE ARE TALKING
RHYAN T.
​House of the Rozetree
After launching my cosmetic company last year, Nicole helped me navigate trademarking my logos. She gave me excellent advice and guidance, was flexible and friendly to work with and helped explain legal terminology. Nicole spoke with the USPTO Attorney on my behalf to fight for what she felt was best for my brand. During this time she made sure to check in with me on my budget and how I would like to proceed in the matter. I would highly recommend Nicole and Stoneridge Legal and plan on working with her again in the future.​​
