    It's really going to depend on why you need an attorney. If you are wanting to trademark something, there are a lot to choose from. If you are involved in a domain dispute, John Berryhill and Ari Goldberger are considered two of the industry best. If this is a trademark issue that is going to involve a lawsuit, you would want someone who can practice in the State where the suit will be heard.

    1. Yep, need to trademark something regardless
    2. No dispute yet but I am about to start one lol...
    3. Thanks for the recommendations
    4. Err.. its web based really so I don't quite get how to determine that...eg: my state or domain prospectors state.

    To my dismay, I learned today that there is a very fine line between a domain broker and an ambulance chasing scumbag.

    thanks for your input M.

    I would give Berryhill a call - he is somewhat a legend amongst IP attorneys. He can likely give you a quick list of options and give you a referral if he can't help you. Trademark disputes are very, very expense. You will spend six figures to get through a court case - but don't waste your time and money with anyone who doesn't have a lot of experience with domain disputes.
