I have admired and learned from Ed Rice and James Hopenfeld since the early 1990s when I worked with them at the U.S. Department of Justice. Ed and James are two of the smartest, hardest working, and most thoughtful attorneys I know. Both have a deep knowledge of and passion for the intricacies and strategies of patent law and litigation, which is evidenced by their superb written and oral advocacy. I applaud their innovative strategies for efficiently staffing patent cases to achieve maximum success for their clients at a reasonable cost.
For more than 6 years, I have trusted Ed and Marina to protect my patented technology and keep infringers away. They are efficient and effective; they get the job done with minimum cost.
Ed and Marina were invaluable to us when we were sued by a litigious competitor 50x our size. They quickly assessed the key issues and identified the optimal strategy that led to victory at trial and on appeal (which Ed argued). We do not litigate often but when we have to, it is comforting to know that we have a great team backing us up.
I worked closely with James and Ben at Fish & Neave and Ropes & Gray for a long time. I recommend the HSRS team to anyone looking for elite, high-quality litigators who deliver a highly-personalized service. They are a particularly good fit for growing businesses that need efficient lawyers that understand their businesses well enough to offer creative solutions.
I have known the HSRS lawyers for several years and their trial lawyers truly are first rate. They offer first chair trial victories at the department of justice and in private practice, broad technical expertise, and elite credentials in a nimble, flexible team.
The HSRS team is a collection of exceptionally talented, focused, and creative trial lawyers. If I were marching into a tough patent battle, these are the lawyers I would want by my side.
Having worked with the HSRS team, I can describe them in one word: excellence. They demand it of themselves and their clients and it shows in the quality of their work.
