From Founders & Inventors who've worked with Stake.

His engineering background makes him extra effective at his work and quick to understand difficult constructs. Great customer service, quick responses, and dedication to his work are greatly appreciated. I highly recommend.

Josh took his time explaining the entire process to us and how our business we would benefit from the protection that a patent offers. We couldn't be happier with the way that Josh handled all the heavy lifting and insured that we were happy with the results.

Stake law is the place to go for anything related to patents. They are reliable, timely, fairly priced, and have excellent quality and customer service.

Josh is very good at what he does, patient in explaining the process, very detailed orientated, insightful, and humble. The process became fun and exciting instead of frustrating. I now have my first patent and another one pending. Thank you so very much Joshua!!

He prides himself on putting together a complete game plan to achieve your goals. I've been an entrepreneur for over 15 years and I know how important it is to build a strong team of professionals around you.

I found working with Josh, as a new business owner very informative and helpful. Josh was easy to work with and understand legal verbiage. I absolutely will work with him again. Thank You Josh and STAKE
