If you’re looking to bring in the heavy artillery with unrivaled strategic planning, look no further than Michael Powell and his able crew at Baker Donelson. Michael and his firm have been an outstanding resource over the last roughly three years, and the only firm we would consider for matters in Georgia or the surrounding areas. Michael’s work ethic is second to none, and his reasoned and contemplative approach to litigation and willingness to explore alternative dispute resolution is refreshing. But make no mistake, if such alternatives are unachievable, Michael and his firm have the expertise, resources and professionalism to take any litigation to a successful conclusion at trial. I recommend Michael and his firm without reservation.
Mike is not only a knowledgeable lawyer but also very technically astute. He has the ability to process very complicated technical issues and to be able to gain a quick understanding of the issues at hand. His honesty in his work and in his communications is exemplary. I highly recommend him and would look forward to working with him on other projects.
Michael is a client focused lawyer who cares deeply about his work. He is diligent and communicates well. He is also very well versed in his area of concentration and has a desire to continue to learn more about intellectual property law. I am very happy that he is a shareholder here at Baker Donelson, he is a tremendous addition to our firm and adds value to for our clients.
Mike and I met when our company’s primary trademark was being threatened by a large multi-national company. We were a small business and the thought of litigation was disturbing to say the least. Our trademark was was also the name of our company and the name our customer’s knew us by, so if we would have lost the name the consequences could have been dire. Mike stood up to the playground bullies and fought admirably for us and we prevailed. We will always be grateful to Mike for his perseverance and creativity while representing us. It is safe to say Mike had a very large hand in the survival, let alone success, of our business. I look forward to working with Mike again, and can whole heartedly recommend him to anyone.
Michael Powell and I were Partners when I worked at Baker Donelson. I had the pleasure of working with him on several complex litigation matters. Throughout he exhibited professionalism and applied a mental acuity toward the issues that gave the clients and myself a great deal of confidence in his abilities. The depth of his experience in IP matters is envious. Michael’s keen ability to communicate complex issues to clients and co-counsel is reassuring and essential to cost-effective representation. He is a perfect gentleman with a great sense of humor; I recommend him highly and look forward to the next time we can work together.
I had the great privilege of using Mike Powell as a mediator in a large complicated intellectual property matter. Mike was able to dig in and quickly grasp the legal issues involved. Mike did a fantastic job of using his understanding of this area of the law to help facilitate a favorable settlement. Mike worked hard and long on both parties to get the matter resolved. I would not hesitate to use Mike again as a mediator and wholeheartedly endorse him.
Mike Powell is one of the finest attorneys I’ve had occassion to work with over the years. He is bright, articulate, and client-dedicated. Most critically, he brings this skill particular set to the table with a great attitude and terrific demeanor. Hire Mike when next you find yourself in the thick of an intellectual property dispute.
I worked with Mike on a patent infringement matter. His knowledge, expertise, and insight into not only the patent issues, but the business issues surrounding the dispute, was simply outstanding and helped steer the strategy discussion. Mike’s ability to see the issues “beyond the issues” sets him apart from the field. His work comes with my highest recommendation.
Michael took over a case from a departing colleague at Baker’s. He was quick to jump in and take control of a nasty situation. Despite the potential of winning the case against us he was quick to summarize the costs and time of doing so. Looking at costs in the hundreds of thousands is a sobbering thought. In effect even if we had won we would loose because we may not have be awarded costs As a result of his forthright nature we decided to settle and minimize costs and time and move forward on building business. Definately the right choice. Sometimes proving one is right or innocent is not necessarly the best choice. Deferring to agree to disagree is the better business decision. Mike got us there.
