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

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.

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

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.

My partner and I consulted Patrice for some advice regarding our start up business. Patrice was very thorough…very detailed…she gave us relevant suggestions and things to think about. She allowed us to ask questions and take our conversations where we wanted them to go which is important to our vision!! I have actually recommended Patrice to several people already so was MORE than happy to recommend her here!

Patrice exhibits a thoroughness that is not easy to come by. Her attention to detail and ability to research the facts makes me feel more confident in having her as my attorney. Promptness, creativity and professionalism are just a few of her traits that makes working with her a joy.

Patrice has served as my attorney since late last year. As a new business owner, Patrice literally walked me through the steps of properly organizing the legal side of my enterprise, as well as preparing contracts and protecting my brand and blog. I highly recommend her to creative entrepreneurs like myself who are ready to take their businesses to the next level. You cannot afford to miss out on her services.

I would give Patrice ☆☆☆☆☆ (5 STARS)! She is truly visionary and has given me so much valuable service and coaching as it relates to my graphic design/printing business as well as my recent book project The Entrepreneur Within You which she is a contributing author. She is by far one of the smartest people I have met. She is patient, strategic, understanding, fair, and is truly creative. She’s an amazing attorney and helped me shape my contract up very nicely. I would and do recommend her OFTEN … 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

Patrice presented at the Blogging While Brown Conference, and her workshop was the best, in my opinion. The information she gave about protecting your intellectual property as an online content creator was PRICELESS! She made it easy to understand, and I walked away feeling empowered with so much information. She’s clearly an expert in her field, and the impression she left had me eager to work with her!
