‘Enrique Diaz is always available for his clients.

Enrique is always willing to go the extra mile to make certain that all our trademark matters are well taken care of. In fact, I recently had what I believed to be an emergency request, and Enrique did not blink and handled the matter most expeditiously. The filing was done, and confirmation was sent within a matter of hours so that we could rest assured that he had everything under control. I have recommended Enrique to both other in-house professionals and other law firms and will continue to do so.’
