Vice President Legal, People Suppprt – Sizzler USA
Litigation - Intellectual Property
I've been working with Jeff Kobulnick at Lewitt Hackman for years. I can't think of an attorney I've worked with over the decades as a business owner who cares more about his clients. The honesty and direction he provides is second to none. I could literally go on and on about countless stories where Jeff's advice, guidance, and support has been crucial. To the point that although he's still a relatively young man I hope he never gets out of the game as he would leave some amazingly big shoes to fill.
David Stuppler
President – Stuppler & Co.
Litigation - Intellectual Property
The Lewitt Hackman firm was outstanding. They were always professional, courteous and incredibly devoted to me and my company. Their knowledge of intellectual property litigation was thorough and their efforts and dedication saved our company in more than one instance. I have dealt with a few firms over the last decade in IP matters and Lewitt Hackman stands well above the rest.
