Client Testimonials:

“This was my first experience being sued. Brianna sensibly guided me through the process with patience and thoroughness. She knows how the system works and was conservatively strategic. I was grateful to have her on my team.”

“I recommend Rome LLP. They are my go to firm for contracts and intellectual property disputes. I am a world class artist and designer and by the sheer nature of my business I am deliberately positioned in the public eye. And although imitation is said to be the highest form of flattery, copying or outright stealing is not…and Brianna has helped me prove it.”
