As a partner at Sanchelima & Associates, P.A., I represent clients in all phases of intellectual property law, including trademark and patent filings, prosecution, and litigation. My practice also extends to franchise creation and compliance, franchise litigation, and complex commercial disputes involving breach of contract and partnership disagreements.
With an engineering background, I bring technical fluency to electrical, mechanical, chemical, and software patent applications, enabling me to craft precise, enforceable protections across industries. I serve clients locally and internationally with the same unwavering commitment.
At Sanchelima & Associates, we don’t just handle cases — we build relationships. I live by our firm’s guiding principle: “We Don’t Have Cases, We Have Clients.”
