His two decades of research, manufacturing, management and legal experience have provided him with valuable insight into the technical, business, legal and strategic challenges facing technology-oriented entrepreneurs. This allows him to provide his clients with cost-conscious, legal advice based on their "total business needs" and the shared goal of "maximizing the returns on your intellectual endeavors."
His technical expertise and industrial experience make him especially effective at monitoring and evaluating the intellectual property environments of his clients' businesses. He uses this knowledge to counsel his clients on the strategic alternatives that they should consider implementing in order to continue to maximize their businesses' profitabilities. Mr. Guffey's unique contributions in this area allow him to establish long-term relationships with his clients -- he can essentially perform as a part-time, in-house, patent law counsel.
Using a combination of fixed fees, discounts on certain hourly fees paid in advance and discounts on multiple-related cases, Mr. Guffey has a fee structure that stays focused on his clients' bottom lines. After many years of managing "Total Quality Management" programs, he prides himself on the level of client support that he provides and exemplifies within the legal profession. less
