02 · Trademark Registration
Whether an entrepreneur, small business or Fortune 500 company, businesses of all sizes put a lot of time and effort into creating their brand. A trademark is a significant part of that strategy — and mistakes in the registration process can lead to delays, denials and disappointments.
The firm conducts a comprehensive trademark search, prepares a legal opinion memorandum of your proposed mark, prepares accurate applications, and timely responds to legal inquiries from the USPTO — nationwide.
03 · Copyright
Advancements in this digital age make it easier than ever to violate intellectual property rights — especially for anything you write or produce. Whether as an individual or an entity, your written creations risk copyright infringement if not protected. The most important and effective means of protection is copyright registration.
A copyright gives an author of an original work exclusive rights to their work, including the right to control and protect it. Copyrights cover a wide variety of subject matters: books and e-books, music, lyrics, graphics, literature, videos and more. To qualify, a work must be original, tangible and at least a little creative — an idea cannot be copyrighted, but a written work can be.
04 · Estate Planning
Planning for the future helps ensure that your children are able to hold onto your home, investments and assets. Otherwise, disputes among family members and the intervention of the California court system is inevitable. The firm offers estate planning services in Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino County, Riverside County and Los Angeles County.
Every personal and financial situation is different. From the first consultation, we take the time to truly discover your goals and design a plan based on your needs and desires — whether you require a Will with a guardianship provision for young families, a Living Trust to ensure assets are controlled during your lifetime to avoid probate, or direction on how debts, taxes and expenses are handled after your passing.
We prepare Wills, Revocable Trusts, Durable Powers of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directives and HIPAA releases to effectuate your desires and ensure your financial house is in order.
05 · Family Law
Family law matters touch the most personal parts of your life. Whether you are facing a difficult divorce, navigating child custody disputes, or seeking protection through a restraining order, the firm is here to guide you with compassion, strength and unmatched legal skill.
With years of experience and a reputation as a compassionate yet aggressive trial attorney, Aletha fights tirelessly to protect your rights, your children and your future. The firm handles divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, domestic violence protection and prenuptial agreements.
Prenuptial agreements. By preparing a prenuptial agreement, you can create a financial plan for what will happen if your marriage were to end in legal separation or divorce. Once thought to be an option only for the very wealthy, prenuptial agreements are now more commonly recognized as benefiting people of all income levels.
