# Alex R. Sluzas
!!
> "I initially tried the patent process alone and ran into so many roadblocks along the way. Finally, I was referred here through a friend who had used the firm's services before. Paul & Paul helped me patent an idea I'd had for years! It was so great to work with a team who felt like they genuinely cared about my product, and wanted me to succeed. Months later I have now been able to turn my dreams into a reality! Thank you everyone at Paul & Paul!!!"
