Problem Solver
Clients often ask for fee quotes up front – something Mark often did not have the authority to offer when working for law firms. So in 2004, Mark started his own law firm and began offering projects on a flat-fee basis. This model was so successful, that today Trenner Law Firm offers all work on a project-based or flat fee billing system
“Clients are happy to know the cost of a project up-front before they authorize any work to be done. Once the project is finished, clients receive an invoice for the flat fee quoted up front, and nothing more.”
About Trenner Law
Businesses and individuals don’t want to allocate their budget to attorney fees. However, involving an attorney early on can help you identify business issues and secure rights in your intellectual property. If properly protected, intellectual property can be a significant asset for your business.
Trenner Law Firm can help protect your business and inventions. An attorney will evaluate and guide you in properly establishing and protecting your business and business assets. Trenner Law Firm is experienced with identifying potentially patentable inventions, subject matter which may be protected by copyright, and that which should be maintained as a trade secret. Trenner Law Firm can also help select a strong trademark and secure trademark rights to protect your brand.
Patent Law is federal law. Everything happens at the US Patent Office (headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, with satellite offices in Dallas, Denver, Detroit, and San Jose). But it does not matter where the US Patent Office is located physically. Everything is filed online. Nor does it matter where you are, or where your patent attorney is.
Trenner Law Firm works with clients throughout the United States and around the world.
Being an online law firm with offices in Colorado and Tennessee, we are able to offer high-quality work at lower prices than many East Coast or West Coast law firms.
Client-Centered Patent Law Firm
Being client-centered means we put our clients at the center of our practice. Rather than making decisions based on what’s best, or easiest, or cheapest for the law firm, we strive to provide our clients with the best experience and most value. We do this in several ways.
- All projects are flat-fee based.
- We answer client questions as part of the project – not by issuing a bill every time the client contacts us.
- We recommend the best course of action for the client – not what we can make the most money doing for the client.
- We recognize that what is best for one client is not necessarily the best option for another client.
- We explain everything, in clear, easy to understand terms.
Our goal is for clients to think of Trenner Law Firm as a breath of fresh air. There are a lot of other professional service providers. Think of the time spent waiting to see your accountant, or your doctor. Never mind that you never know what the bill will be – which you won’t receive until after you leave. But what about all that wasted time spent waiting past the appointment time, and filling out mindless forms before you even get to talk to anyone. Promising to pay whatever you get charged. The same goes for most lawyers. But at Trenner Law Firm, we want our clients to tell everyone that working with us is convenient, easy, and relatively painless.
