Certified Trademark Paralegal | USPTO Filings, Searches, Office Action

Your trademark application is only as strong as the person behind it. I'm a paralegal with 10+ years of USPTO trademark experience, an ABA-approved paralegal certificate, and a track record working with startups, e-commerce sellers, law firms, and multinational corporations. I handle filings within 1–2 business days, and I'm based in California — which means I'm in your time zone, I respond within 4 hours during business hours, and you're never waiting on someone overseas to wake up when a deadline is approaching. Here is where I can specifically help: → Trademark clearance searches using USPTO TESS, common law sources, and WIPO databases → U.S. trademark application preparation and electronic filing (TEAS Plus and TEAS Standard) → Office action responses — I analyze the refusal, explain your options clearly, and draft a strategic response → Trademark portfolio management, renewals, assignments, and maintenance filings → Canada, EU, UK, and Madrid Protocol filings in coordination with foreign counsel → Honest pre-filing assessments — if your mark has a problem, I'll tell you before you spend money What working with me actually looks like: you send me your information, I get to work, and you receive a complete, accurate filing with a full summary of next steps — no back-and-forth, no surprises, no invoice padding. My proactive approach to drafting is designed to streamline the USPTO examination process, helping my clients avoid the typical delays associated with Office Actions. I'm not a law firm. That means faster turnaround, direct access to the person doing the work, and rates that don't include partner billing hours. When a situation genuinely requires an attorney, I'll tell you clearly and refer you to one. Most standard filings don't. Not sure where to start? Book the 30-minute consultation — $50, and the full cost applies toward your filing if you move forward. Send me a message with your brand name and I'll take a look before we even meet.
