Patrice Perkins and I have partnered together on several business projects over the last few years; she is a delight to work with.

Most recently, Ms. Perkins was a guest expert on a webinar I hosted, First Step: “The Legal Side of Business.” She shared profound insight and information pertaining to choosing the proper legal structure for a busines… Read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Patrice on Paul Carrick Brunson’s #MentorMonday webcast and what an experience. Patrice was a joy to listen to and was filled with tons of great knowledge for us entrepreneurs. I think she has a great thing going with Lifestyle Zen and I encourage everyone to connect with her in some way!

I hired Patrice to help me through a sticky legal situation as well as to help me setup my current business. She has been phenomenal in every way possible! Knowledgable, professional and on the cutting edge of technology, I couldn’t be more satisfied with our relationship and look forward to continuing work with Patrice for the duration of my business career.

Talking it through with a lawyer and creative advocate like Patrice gave us confidence in our decisions. She pushed us to think about both our short-term and long-term needs and the legal implications of our business. The biggest results that we experienced were talking with a legal professional that understands what is important to creative businesses and receiving small business support beyond “legal services”. Not all lawyers are the same; Patrice is patient and genuinely vested in suppor… Read more

If you’re looking for an intellectual property attorney, Patrice Perkins should be consider. I’ve hired her on several occasions to negotiate win/win contracts. Her attention to detail, and grasp on the universe of potential issues were invaluable. She’ll get you the results you’re looking for, as well as other things you never considered. I highly recommend her to anyone who is negotiating a major deal.

I started working with Patrice in the beginning of 2013 to start a non-profit organization. She has a creative mind and helped me to see beyond the cut-and-dry law. We now have 501(c)3 status and can begin to offer new services to advance arts education for our community, students, and educators. As an artist, I also worked with Patrice to trademark my brand. She provided me with plenty of advice to protect my own creative language. Coming from an artist’s background I didn’t understand anything… Read more

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Patrice at a local entrepreneur’s conference. She delivered a brief workshop about blogging and intellectual property rights of online content for creative entrepreneurs. I was immediately drawn to her obvious passion for helping small business owners and serial creatives like myself. I hired Patrice to assist me in streamlining my business operations under one legal entity rather than the fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants strategy that afflicts most entrepren… Read more

I stumbled into my relationship with Patrice and Lifestyle Zen. Let me back up, I met Patrice before I knew she was a creative law wiz. She is a good friend of a good friend of mine which, by universal law, makes her cool but after she told me she was a creative law attorney I was floored. Six degrees of separation was more like two degrees of legal kismet. From day one Patrice showed as much interest in my venture, The Genius Syndicate (a learning-inspired lifestyle brand for kids), than I’d se… Read more
