“We were fortunate to have Doniger/Burroughs represent our company in a complex, document intensive copyright case. We found them professional, extremely knowledgeable, honest and straightforward. Communication was always immediate, relevant and pointing towards the best course of action. After 25 years in the entertainment business and several other legal cases, we can say that Doniger/Burroughs is one of the very best law firms one could hope to have by their side when legal issues arise.”

“From fear to Peace of Mind”
Earlier this year I was served by a threatening cease and desist letter that claimed I was infringing intellectual property on some of my products that I had designed. My business and customer relationships were threatened, and I was scared and confused over the entire ordeal.
I contacted Stephen at Doniger Burroughs, and his immediate response was, “don’t panic, come to my office and let’s have a look.”
Stephen was so thoughtful and kind in explaining my rights and options and guiding me to create a plan of action. We filed a pre-emptive case that quickly resulted in a complete withdrawal by the other party of all its claims against my business and products—a far better result than I initially even hoped for.
Stephen literally walked me from fear to peace of mind and did so more quickly and less expensively than I would ever have expected. I recommend this firm for copyright matters wholeheartedly. It’s what they do!

Doniger / Burroughs is an exceptional firm, and Stephen Doniger and his team are a true pleasure to work with. They’re at the top of their field, with unparalleled expertise in intellectual property rights. They’re also genuine and trustworthy individuals with an empathetic understanding of artists, and they were able to make an intimidating legal process as stress-free as possible for me. What I appreciate most is their understanding of my values as a creative. I wouldn’t choose to work with anyone else. I highly recommend Doniger / Burroughs, for independent artists and large organizations alike.

I came to Doniger / Burroughs with an issue that at face value could have been treated simply as a copyright infringement case. But for me, it was a deeply personal matter that required attorneys that understood the legal landscape as well as the artistic stakes involved. I had discovered a documentary had used footage from a short film I made preserving my family’s history as survivors of the Khmer Rouge genocide. This short film documented and celebrated my family’s love and resilience— so for me, it wasn’t just footage, it was literally and figuratively, my family. At every step, Stephen Doniger and Kelsey Schultz sought my input and allowed me to express my thoughts as an artist and a granddaughter. They understood and respected the nuances of my concerns and translated them into concrete actions and results. I’m so grateful for their legal excellence and compassionate advocacy. I could not have asked for better advocates than Stephen and Kelsey.

“For years it felt like more trouble than it was worth protecting my original designs. I was tempted to turn a blind eye to infringers since suing always seemed to put a pit in my stomach due to the expense and stress of litigation.
Once we met Stephen all of that changed. I had finally met a lawyer that was equal parts advocate and friend. Someone who truly valued his clients and felt a sincere responsibility to protect the rights of artists and designers. Now I take pleasure in contacting Stephen with news of infringements knowing that he will get results, and I will be fairly rewarded for protecting my design legacy.”

We have been working with Stephen and the Doniger/Burroughs team since 2015 on corporate disputes, intellectual property protection, litigation, and various other legal matters. We started as a company that had no interest in working with lawyers, but through their professionalism, dedication, and skill we now recognize the immense value of having experienced counsel in our corner. This was especially so when we found ourselves sued on a claim we believed had no merit and Doniger / Burroughs ably defended us and negotiated an amicable resolution after also guiding us through the existential business challenges of the COVID pandemic. Their expertise and support have proven invaluable and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

I have been very happy with Trevor and the team at Doniger/Burroughs and highly recommend them to artists who are serious about protecting their intellectual property rights. Their deep understanding of copyright law and genuine passion for supporting artists makes me feel more confident that I am able to protect my work should the need arise. In an increasingly frustrating landscape of rampant art theft, having this team behind me allows me to spend more time focusing on my artwork.

We are a longtime client of Doniger Burroughs and could not be happier with their excellent work. We have learned that they have a genuine concern for the wellbeing of the companies they represent. They are extremely knowledgeable, honorable, energetic and skilled in protecting intellectual property. We have observed how their firm has grown over the years and this success is well deserved. Being involved with litigation can be stressful and difficult, but the team at Doniger Burroughs does its utmost to be supportive in every way.
