YOU CREATE. WE HELP YOU ELEVATE.

OUR FIRM

Excellence Makes the Difference

​

​

The KJL Law Firm, PLLC is a boutique intellectual property law firm that focuses on supporting entrepreneurs, creatives and brands through trademark protection services.  Our mission is to provide high-quality, client-centered brand protection services to purpose-driven brands and entrepreneurs.  The Firm prides itself in providing greater access to legal services to traditionally underserved brand owners, especially women entrepreneurs of color.  

​

We are committed to helping you take your brand to the next level. Protecting your brand through trademarks allows you to grow your brand and take your vision to the next level.  It puts others on notice that you are the owner of your brand, prevents others from making money off of your creative ideas, and allows you to make sure your brand lives on forever.

​

We are results-oriented and client-centered. We exist to serve our client's needs.  Our focus is the protection of your intellectual property and brand.  We work closely with each client to deliver a customized strategy and legal solution to best address the client's needs. 

​

We are not your ordinary law firm.  We are an innovative law firm for innovative entrepreneurs. We utilize cutting-edge technology and proprietary systems to efficiently deliver legal services to our clients, without compromising the quality of our services.

​

We are value-driven.  We recognize that greater time spent billing does not necessarily confer the greatest benefit to you, the client. So, we've have left hourly billing behind and decided to offer our clients value-based billing.  This means that we provide our services on a flat-fee basis and you know the cost of the service you have chosen upfront. No hidden fees.  No extra costs.  No surprises.

About Me:

 

Drawing from a rich tapestry of experiences that spans from the corridors of state prisons to the podiums of state courtrooms, I have carved a niche for myself as a passionate advocate for intellectual property (IP) rights. My extensive education and hands-on courtroom practice have ingrained in me a commitment to protecting your creative genius and business acumen.

​

Experience:

  • Trademark and Brand Protection: Ensuring your brand’s unique identity is safeguarded through comprehensive trademark registration, enforcement, and strategic brand protection.

  • Business Consultation: Beyond IP, I offer advice on business formation, governance, and contractual obligations, ensuring your commercial undertakings are legally sound.

  • Litigation: An accomplished litigator, I've represented clients in diverse legal matters, from personal injury to criminal defense and complex civil litigation. My diligent approach means I manage cases from the spark of inception to the final conclusion.

  • Hearing Officer: My role as a Hearing Officer honed my ability to objectively consider all the facts, evaluate relevant evidence and make sure all aspects of a case are appropriately considered to deliver optimal results.

​

Every brand has a story, every innovation an origin. As your attorney, it’s my privilege to protect that narrative and ensure its legacy. Let’s write the next chapter of your brand’s journey, together. Contact me today.
