ANNOUNCER: Today’s program is brought to you by Traverse Legal. A law firm specializing in internet law, domain disputes, and technology company representation. That’s Traverse Legal www.traverselegal.com. Welcome to the Vertio Talk Radio tech spotlight with your host Damien Allen.
DAMIEN ALLEN: Good morning and welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. Today on the phone with us we have Mr. Chuck Brunet. How you doing this morning Chuck?
CHUCK : Doing great. DAMIEN: So, what kind of business are you in? What companies do you own?
CHUCK: We’re in the oil and gas service business. We provide a service where we go in and recomplete oil and gas wells.
DAMIEN: And how long have you been using Traverse Legal?
CHUCK: We’ve been using Traverse Legal since 2001. So, eight years.
DAMIEN: What kind of matters have they handled for you?
CHUCK: Well they’ve handled a number of different matters for us. They’ve helped us with some litigation issues that we had. We had ownership of a company up in Traverse City and that resulted in some litigation that Traverse Legal looked after for us. In addition to that, they’ve helped us with contracts for Radjet (132) here in the states as well as the international operation we have. And also, they helped us with IT matters that is filing for patent and trademark protection both in the U.S. and internationally.
DAMIEN: So what would you say you liked working with them?
CHUCK: Well what I’ve found with Traverse Legal they do things a bit different. They tend to give you a deliverable and charge you amount of money for that deliverable not based on how many hours it takes them to do it, but based on providing what they promised to. That’s quite refreshing. We’ve worked with lots of different law firms over the last 25 years I’ve been in business and we’ve found it’s very aggravating to get a bill at the end of the month because you called your lawyer and talked to him for five minutes and you got billed for a quarter of an hour. None of that ever happens with Traverse Legal.
DAMIEN: Traverse Legal prides itself on being strategic and focusing on clients’ goals. Did those qualities show up in your projects?
CHUCK: Very much so. Whenever we have something that comes up that we want Traverse Legal’s help on, we layout for them what we are trying to achieve and invariably they come up with a scope of work and a cost of doing that scope of work. That’s quite refreshing from a clients’ perspective.
DAMIEN: What return on investment? Most of the money spent on lawyers is just money spent. Did you get good value out of the legal dollars expended with Traverse Legal?
CHUCK: We absolutely have. On the litigation they helped us with we came out much better than we anticipated. On the contracts we’ve worked with them on we’ve found we’ve been able to get to a contract that we can actually sign and be happy that we signed. And not spend an excessive amount of money to get there. It’s always a really very fair value with regard to the IT and trademarks they helped us with. Actually, they directed us to some associates they work with and have actually done the patent applications for us as well as filed for a protection in international locations for some of the patents we had already filed U.S. applications on. So they have kind of helped us across the board. We’re very happy with their services and feel like it’s money well spent.
DAMIEN: Thank you very much for sharing this information with us Chuck.
CHUCK: Ok, happy to do it.
DAMIEN: You’ve been listening to Traverse Legal Radio. We’ve been speaking with Chuck Burnet about Traverse Legal. This is Damien Allen. Have a great afternoon everybody.

ANNOUNCER: This VTalk Radio spotlight is brought to you by Traverse Legal a high-tech law firm providing international representation in business technology, intellectual property, and complex litigation matters. You can contact Traverse Legal through its website at www.traverselegal.com. Welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. Now here’s your host Damien Allen.
DAMIEN: Good morning and welcome to Traverse Legal Radio on Vertio Talk Radio. My name is Damien Allen and today we’re on the phone with Ed Carmody. How you doing Ed? ED: I’m good. How you doing Damien? DAMIEN: Oh, not too bad. Very few complaints. Tell us a little bit about your business Ed. ED: Well, I had an embroidery and screen printing business that I use to own that I want to reference here, in regards to how Enrico helped me out. As well as, several rental properties that I’ve had and that I still have some of them. DAMIEN: And, of course, we’re speaking about Enrico Schaefer, one of the proprietors of Traverse Legal. In general, what kind of matters did Traverse Legal help you out with? Besides that. ED: Well they helped me with a buy/sell agreement for the business that I divested myself a couple years ago. As well as, they’ve helped me with several in regarding tenants in my rental properties. As well as, how to structure plan contracts, buy/sell agreements regarding the properties that I own in Traverse City and abroad. DAMIEN: Have you had a chance to use other legal services or law firms before? ED: Unfortunately, yes. I think it’s almost a misstatement to call Traverse Legal a legal firm, or call the other ones legal firms, in a way, in regards to how they each conduct business. It’s like night and day. DAMIEN: What was different about Traverse Legal? ED: I would say, probably the biggest one was the transparency in the way they do their business. As well as all actions are defined towards an end goal in the manner in which they get done. When you get a bill it’s not like open up a credit card bill and you have no idea what it’s going to be. It’s a defined amount ahead of time. And if there is course of action that need to be taken in the middle of working on something, they let you know and they let you know that there maybe additional costs. So, you just don’t open a bill and think it’s a bill that’s going to be so many hours and all of a sudden it’s ten times that and you get sticker shock. As well as the transparency with the manner which they conduct business. DAMIEN: So, with all that. What did you think of their billing model, the extranet access, and the fine deliverable approach? ED: I thought it was great. At first it kind of stunned me that somebody would actually do law work in that manner. But, as I’ve become accustomed to it, and I mean when I say stunned me it was like a refreshing stun that people actually would conduct business that way. It’s almost like you’re buying, you’re in essence buying services, but you’re buying them packaged as a product. So, you know that ok, if we do this, this is what we’re looking at for cost and then you can weigh the cost benefit. Versus, going out and spending five times what you thought you were going to spend on a project and at the end you look at it and go, ‘God, this project wasn’t worth spending that much money on.’ DAMIEN: Indeed. Do you feel you got a good return on your legal investment? ED: Definitely. Definitely. I feel with Traverse Legal I’m not afraid to pick up the phone and call the gentlemen I’ve dealt with there, Enrico and Mark. In regards to, I don’t feel I’m going to get billed a hundred dollars just to pick up the phone and talk to them. DAMIEN: What was your favorite thing about working with Traverse Legal? ED: I would say the people. And then, I mean if you want, the list goes on, but the manner in which they conduct business, their transparency of their actions. They’ve given me a whole new outlook on law. It’s hard to imagine that other law firms practice the way they practice and get away with what they do after I’ve...well, they don’t get away with what they do anymore with me after using Traverse Legal. DAMIEN: And I don’t think you can get a better testimonial than that. We’d like to thank you Ed for joining us today. ED: Thank you. DAMIEN: You’ve been listening to Traverse Legal Radio. I am Damien Allen. Have a great afternoon.</p>

CEO AND PRESIDENT, DALE H. CAMPBELL
A twenty year veteran of the Casual Furniture Industry is a self motivated, aspiring entrepreneur that has lead sales organizations to a fifty percent increase in sales, while greatly enhancing customer satisfaction. Listen To The Interview Here |
| Dale H. Campbell, CEO and President, Urban Diversions. |
"...I am extremely grateful to the firm." |
|
"…The amazing thing behind that is you can call him as many times as you want..." |
|
"… …when I first met Enrico I was extremely impressed...Enrico took care of all of the inhibitions right away..." |
JOHN BENTLEY: Today we’re speaking with Dale Campbell owner of Urban Diversions fine furnishings, antiques, and architectural elements of Traverse City. So Dale, how has Traverse Legal helped your business?
DALE CAMPBELL: Well John I have to tell you, when I first met Enrico I was extremely impressed, because as you know when you speak to lawyers you really not sure of what it’s going to cost or where the actual path is going to go. Enrico took care of all of the inhibitions right away when he told me their fees are like a menu. If you want a certain project done he will give a price so there is no hidden cost. The amazing thing behind that is you can call him as many times as you want in between the project being finalized; which I just find absolutely amazing and very comforting. On the professional side I have never met with anybody more professional, more enlightening, and knowledgeable. His whole firm has walked us through many phases of making our website what it is today and he has helped us with our trademarks and our patents and made us very secure in all our moves. And I am extremely grateful to the firm.

"The thing that I like about Brian in particular, I’ve primarily been working with Brian Hall, is that, Brian, he is constantly advising us in terms of what is best for our business, not what’s best for Traverse Legal, and their legal fees. And that’s something that’s great. I mean, just yesterday I actually sent him an e-mail regarding the registration of a trademark of another business and he got back to me and he said, ‘Sean, I understand where you would like to trademark this slogan, but I see three main trouble areas for you. Here’s one. Here’s two. Here’s three.’ This is something that probably took Brian 15, 20 minutes maybe more to look up, he provided that feedback and he was basically providing this evidence and research that was not in support of me getting a trademark, in which, he would have been paid a trademark fee. And so, that’s something that I really appreciate with Traverse Legal and that’s why we have such a high level of trust and such a high rating and recommend them so highly, because I always feel like they’re looking out for us.” Listen To The Interview Here.

ANNOUNCER: Today’s program is brought to you by Traverse Legal. A law firm specializing in internet law, domain disputes, and technology company representation. That’s Traverse Legal www.traverselegal.com. Welcome to the Vertio Talk Radio tech spotlight with your host Damien Allen. DAMIEN ALLEN: Good afternoon and welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. My name is Damien Allen and today with us in the studio, via the telephone, we have Mr. Sean P. Kelly Chief Humanist of HUMAN. Welcome to the program Sean. SEAN KELLY: Thank you Damien. I really appreciate it. It’s good to be on. DAMIEN: Why don’t you tell us a little bit about HUMAN and what you do? SEAN: HUMAN which stands for Helping Unite Man and Nutrition. Is, simply put, a healthy vending company. We manufacture and create our own innovative state of the art vending machines, stock these with healthy products, and place them across the country. DAMIEN: That sounds like a very interesting little business. In general, what kind of matters did you have Traverse Legal help you with? SEAN: Thus far Traverse Legal has primarily helped us with our various trademark applications, trademark assistance, filings, and actually achieving the official Federal registration of trademarks. DAMIEN: Had you have the chance to use other legal services or other law firms before? SEAN: Yes we have. We’ve used several law firms, me and my businesses, even though HUMAN is my main business. I own another business and also have founded other businesses in the past. So, yeah I’ve used quite a few different law firms. DAMIEN: So what did you find that was different with Traverse Legal? SEAN: More than anything, I think it’s the hands on services and it’s that Brian and Enrico who I have primarily been dealing with since day one over there. I’ve never really known if they were kind of better friends or lawyers. I didn’t know which one they were. Were they more of a lawyer or more of a friend? I think they’ve always been looking out for us and always providing us with great advice all around. The thing that I like about Brian in particular, I’ve primarily been working with Brian Hall, is that, Brian, he is constantly advising us in terms of what is best for our business, not what’s best for Traverse Legal, and their legal fees. And that’s something that’s great. I mean, just yesterday I actually sent him an e-mail regarding the registration of a trademark of another business and he got back to me and he said, ‘Sean, I understand where you would like to trademark this slogan, but I see three main trouble areas for you. Here’s one. Here’s two. Here’s three.’ This is something that probably took Brian 15, 20 minutes maybe more to look up, he provided that feedback and he was basically providing this evidence and research that was not in support of me getting a trademark, in which, he would have been paid a trademark fee. And so, that’s something that I really appreciate with Traverse Legal and that’s why we have such a high level of trust and such a high rating and recommend them so highly, because I always feel like they’re looking out for us. DAMIEN: What did you think of the billing model, the extranet, and the define deliverable approach? SEAN: Well, it’s simple, especially as a previous owner and entrepreneur in online space and somebody who is very active in the web 2.0 world, I appreciate it. There’s relatively no paperwork, unless one of our trademarks gets filed and that’s usually from the Federal Government or the USPTO office. It’s easy. It’s simple. I think it takes a little while to get used to and that’s only because most law firms and IP firms seem to love paperwork, but at the end of the day it works best for everybody. Everything’s fully tracked and it’s always really easy to go back and see exactly what’s happening, what has happened, and what still needs to be done. DAMIEN: Would you say that you got a good return on your legal investment by using Traverse Legal? SEAN: That’s without a question. Traverse Legal not only, I think, have they provided me, my company, and my employees and partners with the best service, but they have actually always been able to work with us regardless of what level of funding or what we could spend. They always found a way to work with us and even when we have paid them their full billing rate it’s been more than worth it. That’s for sure. DAMIEN: So you’d feel safe in recommending Traverse Legal to your friends, co-workers, and associates? SEAN: I already do! I’m trying to get them more business out here in Los Angeles. I already do, do that. I was actually, just recently, at the Online Media and Advertising, OMA, tradeshow last week, it’s kind of like additional fineage online advertising organization. I was at the tradeshow here at the Renaissance Hotel in Los Angeles, because our healthy vending machines actually have digital LCDs on the front of them that display advertisements, health education information, purchasing advice, so we were there learning a little bit more about the industry, meeting contacts, and quite a feel people in that space had questions regarding what we were doing for IP, if we had any advice, or if we had any recommendations and we gave Traverse Legal’s name and contact information out. So, we’re already doing it. DAMIEN: Well great deal. We’d like to thank you very much for joining us on the program today, Sean. SEAN: No problem. Hey, like I said anything I can do to support Traverse Legal I’m more than happy to do it, because they, again since say one, have been in full support of us and it’s a great synergistic partnership. DAMIEN: We’ve been speaking with Sean P. Kelly Chief Humanist of HUMAN, Helping Unite Man and Nutrition. I’m Damien Allen in the studio. Have a great afternoon.

ANNOUNCER: This spotlight is brought to you by Traverse Legal a high-tech law firm providing international representation in business technology, intellectual property, and complex litigation matters. You can contact Traverse Legal through its website at www.traverselegal.com. Welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. Now here’s your host Damien Allen.
DAMIEN ALLEN: Good morning and welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. My name is Damien Allen and today we have with us in the studio via the telephone Dave Page of Three Sergeants Brewing in Traverse City, Michigan. Good morning and welcome to the program Dave.
DAVE PAGE: Thank you Damien.
DAMIEN: So why don’t you tell us a little about Three Sergeants Brewing?
DAVE: Three Sergeants Brewing Company is owned and operated by three former military veterans; myself, my two partners Todd and Jeff. We’ve always appreciated home brewing. We had a guy in our unit that was a home brewer years ago and after a training cycle we, like most people would after a hard day of work, we would enjoy one his home brews. Along the way we started naming it for our own use within the unit decided as a customary thing to do and eventually this name took on a real life product now it’s in the marketplace. It’s called Sergeants American Ale. And that’s where we met Traverse Legal.
DAMIEN: What type of legal issues were you facing when you met Traverse Legal?
DAVE: The first thing we had to understand is how to legally incorporate a company. We’re three retired sergeants so, we hadn’t founded any kind of private enterprise of this kind of undertaking. So we had to meet with Enrico and talk about those issues, understand what minimum documents were required to exist as a legal entity in the state of Michigan. And after that we had to figure out our trademark protections. We named this a beer that we conceived of. We have to give it a name and we have to have it protected and that is something he helped us with right from the start.
DAMIEN: How did you learn about Traverse Legal PLC?
DAVE: I happened to, was working for Raymond Minervini at building 50 on the renovation and Enrico was a tenant there. So, that’s how I met their office and their business and they were a small business starting up at the same time that that project began.
DAMIEN: What was your favorite thing about working with Traverse Legal PLC?
DAVE: I think the ease with which we can prospect through a complex issue, like trademark protection. Because we can meet and conduct an interview and get a familiarity for what they’re teaching us basically and then we can go online and follow up and see the notes from that meeting and know exactly what we’re being charged. And also, know what the concept of our discussion was.
DAMIEN: So what did you think about their flat fee billing and, of course we just mentioned, the defined deliverables and the ease of use of the extranet?
DAVE: Well, that was unique because we could track our invoicing. We could do it from a Blackberry or we could do it from our studio, our home office. So, without having to have a document and sort through a file we could, with just a couple click of the mouse, there it is.
DAMIEN: So, everything they said they were going to do you knew what you were being charged for and everything was laid out right in front of you?
DAVE: Yeah. If I had any questions click on the clients and say, ‘Hey. I’m confused about this issue. Can you clarify?’
DAMIEN: Would you refer Traverse Legal PLC to one of your colleagues or somebody that you’re in business with or a friend?
DAVE: Yes I would. In fact I do have other business associates that are clients of Traverse Legal.
DAMIEN: Indeed. We thank you very much for this fine testimonial for Traverse Legal PLC, Dave.
DAVE: Thank you.
DAMIEN: We’ve been speaking to Dave Page with Three Sergeants Brewing in Traverse City, Michigan. You are listening to Traverse Legal Radio. My name is Damien Allen. Everybody have a great afternoon. We’ll catch you next time.

You can contact Traverse Legal through its website at www.traverselegal.com. Welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. Now here’s your host Damien Allen.
DAMIEN ALLEN: Good morning and welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. My name is Damien Allen and today we have with us in the studio, via the phone, Chris Bosio from Fast Physical Therapy. How are you doing this morning Chris?
CHRIS BOSIO: Fantastic. Yourself?
DAMIEN: Oh, not too bad, not too bad. A little frozen up here in northern Michigan, but making a way through. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about your business Chris?
CHRIS: Well we have two physical therapy clinics, one in Traverse City and one in Elk Rapids. We do sports training as well as some fitness training as a cash based business.
DAMIEN: I understand that Traverse Legal helped you with some matters. In general, what kind of matters did Traverse Legal help you with?
CHRIS: He helped us with some trademark issues, as well as, he reviewed some franchises over the last couple of years and Traverse Legal helped us look at all those contracts.
DAMIEN: Had you had a chance to use other legal services under other law firms before?
CHRIS: Yes I have.
DAMIEN: What was different about using Traverse Legal?
CHRIS: It was more like working with a business consultant when you work with Traverse Legal. Where an attorney just tells you what you can’t do, Traverse Legal tells you what you can do and how to get it done.
DAMIEN: What did you think of their billing model, the extranet, and the fine deliverable approach?
CHRIS: It was terrific. With the billing model there’s no surprises, you know what you’re getting into from the get go. The extranet they use just make the entire process transparent and it’s a real collaborative effort with the staff at Traverse Legal, as well as, our people here at Fast. And knowing, and kind of defining, the deliverables up front is really an effective way to deal with various situations and we have nothing but great things to say about Traverse Legal.
DAMIEN: You feel you got a good return on your legal investment with Traverse Legal?
CHRIS: Oh, absolutely.
DAMIEN: What was your favorite thing about working with Traverse Legal Chris?
CHRIS: The fact that it’s kind of a collaboration of ideas. It wasn’t just us trying to explain our position or our issues. It was really a team approach and it was not only like working with an attorney, but a business consultant. It was just a real positive experience.
DAMIEN: Sounds great. I would like to thank you for joining us today on Traverse Legal Radio Chris. We’ve been speaking with Chris Bosio of Fast Physical Therapy. Once again, this is Traverse Legal Radio. I am Damien Allen. Have a great afternoon. Disclaimer: Each case is different. Prior results should NOT create an expectation about results in your case. We do provide deliverables, however, which are guaranteed in each instance. Your retention agreement will provide the details concerning the terms of your engagement of Traverse legal.

ANNOUNCER: This spotlight is brought to you by Traverse Legal a law firm providing on-line attorneys and high-tech representation in business technology, intellectual property, and complex litigation matters. You can contact Traverse Legal through its website at www.traverselegal.com. Welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. Now here’s your host Damien Allen.
DAMIEN ALLEN: Good morning and welcome to Traverse Legal Radio. My name is Damien Allen and today we have in the studio, via the telephone, Gabrielle Blair of Kirtsy.com. How are you doing this morning Gabrielle?
GABRIELLE BLAIR: Very well. Thanks for having me.
DAMIEN: We’re very happy to have you here today. Why don’t you tell us a little bit about Kirtsy?
GABRIELLE: Kirtsy is a fantastic site that women love to come to and see what the latest and greatest kinds of things that are happening online are. So, if you live in the techie world, you have probably heard of Dig, which is a popular site for men. My partners and I at Kirtsy founded the company based on the Dig model where users can, anyone really that wants to come to Kirtsy, can submit a link to any store that they find interesting on the internet. Basically, any URLs that exist they could submit and the community at Kirtsy can take a look at all of those submitted URLs and decide what they think is interesting and that is the stuff you find on the front page of Kirtsy.
DAMIEN: Nice. I understand that Traverse Legal helped you with a few things. What kind of matters did Traverse Legal help you with?
GABRIELLE: They did and they were so helpful. Basically, back in the day our name wasn’t Kirtsy it was another name and we had a domain name dispute come up where we owned the domain name, but there was a magazine with a similar name that didn’t want us to own the domain name. So, we were a new company and we didn’t have really any legal problems at the time. It was all new to us. But, we found Traverse Legal and they helped us out.
DAMIEN: Had you had a chance to use other legal services from other firms before?
GABRIELLE: We hadn’t. So, basically, what was sort of is a cold call sort of thing and I figured since this is an internet problem we were having that the best internet lawyers would be able to be found quickly on Google. They would be at the top of the list if they new anything about the internet. So, I did a Google search for domain name lawyers and Traverse Legal came up as one of the top three. I called all three of the top three, from the time. I don’t even remember what the other two even were. But, Traverse Legal got back the fastest and was by far the most helpful. And so, that’s why we went with them.
DAMIEN: What do you think is different about Traverse Legal?
GABRIELLE: Again, with Kirtsy I haven’t worked with other lawyers but, just as someone that has worked with lawyers for not Kirtsy related problems I loved how they didn’t bill by the hour. How I could get an exact price on what this project was going to cost, because as a startup you’re budgeting so carefully and your funds are so limited that we really needed to know going in what the end was going to be.
DAMIEN: What did you think of their billing model, and the extranet, and the fine deliverable approach?
GABRIELLE: I’ll start with the extranet. For Kirtsy it was perfect. We’re a virtual company. We have a partner in Charlotte, North Carolina. We have a partner in Houston, Texas. I’m in New York and we have a new partner that’s in Boulder, Colorado. So, we’re totally a virtual company and we do all of our communication either, via conference calls or online, and so for us the extranet was perfect, because one e-mail would go out. We would all get it. We could all stay in the loop. You get to find all the information in one place. The billing model, as I’ve mentioned, was also perfect for a startup. Where you really can have an exact price that you can budget for and plan on and that was wonderful.
DAMIEN: Did you feel you got a good return on your legal investment?
GABRIELLE: Absolutely. As I’ve mentioned, we have this dispute about our domain name and we won the dispute which was terrific. The whole way through it had been communicated very clearly, what the chances were of winning and what the outcomes could be. Weeks later we decided to change our company name anyway and go with a new domain. Traverse Legal helped us through that entire process as well. This was a fantastic communication company as far as I’m concerned. We really understood the whole time what was happening and felt like we could call at any time and get someone on the phone that could walk us through any questions or ideas that we had.
DAMIEN: What would you say was your favorite thing about working with Traverse Legal?
GABRIELLE: Accessibility. I truly, from the first phone call and the first contact, had great response from Traverse Legal and time, where I never felt like they were hurrying me off a phone call or skimping on e-mail communication. They truly were accessible and made themselves available to us, their clients.
DAMIEN: Thank you very much for joining us today, Gabrielle.
GABRIELLE: I’m glad to be here. Thanks so much.
DAMIEN: You’re very welcome. And you have been listening to Traverse Legal Radio. We’ve been speaking with Gabrielle Blair of Kirtsy.com. And I am Damien Allen. Have a great afternoon.

You have a right to smart, aggressive legal services.
The most common complaint we hear from prospective clients is that they had no ability to analyze lawyers or law firms before hiring an attorney.
So how do you find a good attorney?
You don't need just any attorney, but a good one who delivers legal value for each legal dollar spent. The truth is that there are some good answers to this fundamental question.
Trade secrets about legal services:
Before you make a decision about which lawyer to retain, educate and prepare yourself. Any lawyer that does not want to answer the tough questions is probably not the one you should hire.
Finding a lawyer with experience: Wouldn't it be smart to find out what you need to know about retaining top-drawer legal talent before you hire a lawyer?
The first advice that we give is to approach any lawyer as a smart consumer. Be ready to seek other counsel if you feel uncomfortable with your prospective counsel during your initial contacts. Discuss budgets and expectations early and often. Ask detailed questions about the law firm, the attorney you are speaking to and prior experience handling matters like yours.
