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!

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 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

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 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!

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

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.
