How do I find a great patent attorney that will be in the best interest of my patent?

Look no further my firm and I are at your service. Best way is to evaluate a patent attorney is to set an appointment to talk to him - then get references and then fall back onto your own gut instincts. Ask if there is a charge for the initial consult - if there is then I would steer clear of them.

Selecting a patent attorney, similar to selecting a doctor or other lawyers, is a subjective thing. Obviously, you want your patent attorney to have experience in drafting and obtaining patent applications for inventions that are similar to yours. Also, it is always recommended to perform research on your patent attorney on the web, read their bio's, check any reviews from other clients etc. Lastly, if possible, it's advisable to have an in-person meeting with your patent attorney to make sure you feel comfortable with them.

Patent attorney are generally able to give you an idea of their fees during the initial phone call. Call a few and compare their pricing. While cost is important - don't base your decision solely on pricing. Do your research. Learn as much as you can about a patent attorney online through their website and online profiles. Then call a few and talk to them to get a feel of what it would be like to work with them. If you don't get a good feeling initially, try another one, until you find one that seems knowledgeable and can explain the complex process of patents in an easy to understand manner. Good luck!
