"I was looking for a good IP and corporate attorney for over a year for my new business venture before I got introduced to Maya Simmons Rogers. I consider myself very lucky! Maya always provides exceptional service and often goes above and beyond the call of duty, which is rare nowadays. Legal matters are one thing I no longer have to worry about!  Maya is very professional, trustworthy and knowledgeable.  She has exceptional business instincts and ethics. One of our trademark applications, prepared by another attorney, was declined. I was devastated because that could really hurt my business.  But Maya had this issue resolved successfully in a very creative and top notch professional way. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Maya!"
