Lucien was very thorough in researching my needs/wants for my case and laying out the pros and cons for each option, which in turn helped me make the best decisions. He is knowledgeable about the field of entertainment and is patient, but still firm when dealing with other representation that may not be so well-versed. I always came out happy with the end result of every contract/agreement he's drafted for me.

Being new to Chicago and a little lost in the transition, I was blessed to have gotten introduced to Lucien during my specific situation. He slowed everything down, and not only displayed extensive knowledge and experience of precisely what I was going through, his 'bedside manner' and consultation was calming and helped me understand my situation in a way I never would have framed it up. Consequently, he gave me significant piece of mind and allowed to take a new perspective and hope in what I was facing. I would highly recommend Lucien for his detailed knowledge and practice of law in his field as well as from a creative perspective as he is incredibly bright, forward thinking and easy to work with. I will thank him again, because I am not sure I can thank him enough. Thank you Lucien!

My company was in need of submitting our trademark applications and also needed legal advice for changing our business name plus a few IP issues. He was very thorough in his research and kept us informed throughout the process. My partner was hesitant to hire a lawyer but we were both very satisfied and happy with our choice. His fees were reasonable even as we went over our budget he helped us stay on track. Mr. Carter was very attentive to our questions and really helped us define our business as it pertained to acquiring the trademark. The application is now submitted and has been accepted. I will be seeking more counsel from him as our business grows and highly recommend him as a lawyer.

Lucien took me through the incorporation of my business with a level of detail that made me extremely comfortable with the entire process. He is very straight forward in his explanations to make sure I have all the information I need to make timely decisions. His attention to detail allows me to feel at ease now that I am having him handle all our compliance requirements. I have already recommended Lucien to a few of my friends who are also doing startups.
