I've never heard of the attorney you mentioned. To evaluate any patent legal representative, first check to see if the PTO licenses them. There's a full list of licensees on the PTO's Web site . You can look the attorney up by name. You can also find a list of other licensed attorneys in your area by entering your ZIP code, city or state.
Most states have an online list.
So I'd definitely go further and ask about her education, fees and experience as well as for some client references. Ask if she'll give you a free half-hour interview so you can get a feel for compatibility. If you decide to hire representative, avoid open-ended arrangements where the attorney bills you by the hour always get a fixed price in advance for every job. I'd also go to the PTO's patent manual database . Finally, search the Internet to see if the representative has a Web site.
