My experience with Confidant Consult and Baron Lesperance has been very positive through the now, years-long process of getting a patent approved through the USPTO. Baron has been a steady guide through the process and has always made himself available to help answer my questions, and also weighed in on matters related to trademarks, copyrights, etc. for my companies. I highly recommend Confident Consult as a professional legal firm.

Mr. Dotson was amazing thru my divorce and child custody case! He stayed firm and fought for and got me what I wanted and deserved! He was compassionate and understanding of the very hard and sensitivity of that time in my life! Him and Mrs. Frances kept me very informed and up to date thru my case and trials! I will use this form for the rest of my life!!!
