Testimonials

Julie Dennis
Fox Canna Joint Relief, Founder

Luke is professional, responsive and effective. I am grateful to have found Luke in the early days of launching my CBD product, Canna Joint Relief. He has maneuvered through complex state and federal regulations and applications to secure a variety of trademarks. I don’t hesitate to recommend his services. And on a personal note, he’s a pleasure to work with! Thank you Luke Zimmerman.

Matt Robertson
Glass Blower, ME Glass

I have been Luke’s client for a while now and have never had anything but a positive experience with the various things he’s helped me with. Especially when informing me of my intellectual property rights, specifically with assisting me with seeking copyright protection of my original works of art. He’s always responsive, knowledgeable, and thorough.
I plan on continuing to be a client for many years to come! “

Scott Gilmore
Fox and Bones LLC

Luke worked with us to register and trademark our band name for performance and merchandising purposes. He was confident and knowledgeable throughout the entire experience and made sure we understood each step of the process along the way. We trust Luke with our business and look forward to working with him in the future!

Mario Guzman
Founder of Sherbinskis

Luke is very knowledgeable at what he does and always has made me feel like he’s ahead of the game when it comes to how to protect cannabis-related intellectual property. He helped Sherbinskis to be one of the first cannabis brands to receive trademark registration in California.

Scarlet Ravin
Founder White Fox Medicine and Psilocybin

I had many ‘out there’ business visions, and of course I wanted to try have them receive trademark protection. Luke Zimmerman has done what EVERYONE told me couldn’t be done with my ideas, he not only got me three federal trademarks related to my cannabis brand, he also got me a Supplemental Register for the word PsilocybinⓇ. As an Educator, Medicine Woman and New World Creator it’s crucial for me to be partnered with fellow trailblazers like Luke, for he creates solid ground for us to stand upon which makes this new world seamless to birth!”

Luke is a lawyer with huge heart, generosity, skill, and in-depth knowledge. Without his help, I'd have been lost navigating a legal process that would have certainly bogged me down. I feel grateful to have been referred to him, and cannot recommend his legal services enough.

Luke Zimmerman has been thoroughly informative and given us a lot of guidance and strategy. We just received our official trademark. We've been working with Luke for a while and even are referrals have let us known they enjoy working with Luke.
Luke has been an invaluable resource for TruSteel. For over 4 years, he has helped us not only file for trademarks during start-up, but also has recommended a thoughtful trademarking strategy that can increase the value of our business and secure ourselves against competition over time. His dedication to helping our company has been critical to our success and is always an excellent teacher. I would recommend Luke to anyone who is new to business or has an existing business and wants to cover all of their trademark bases.

My trademark was up for renewal Luke came highly recommended. Initially, my TM was set up by a lawyer friend who did not specialize in trademarking. Luke was able to point out issues with the initial setup of my trademark which could have come back to haunt me in the future and remedy them. Working with Luke feels like working with a very knowledgeable, professional friend who calls you back and answers your questions right away I highly recommend Luke Zimmerman.

Luke came highly recommended to me from a friend. I called him and was able to schedule a time to discuss my requests very quickly. Everything I needed to know was addressed immediately and I felt extremely confident in my situation. I’ve been working with Luke for 8 months now, he has been nothing short of outstanding ever since. Communication is huge with me, Luke has communicated so clearly and effectively through each and every part of the process. I highly recommend Luke to anyone needing legal advice, he’s a true master of his craft.
