Creative Law Network - Denver, Colorado

Travis Howard

I’ve known Dave Ratner for well over a decade at this point and I’ve recommended his services to a number of folks. He’s smart, caring, and dedicated to his craft. He’s personally given of his time ($0 billed) to assist me in some interesting circumstances where I already had representation through another entity. Who does that these days? Dave does. Can’t over emphasize the character here… Looking for intellectual property guidance, start here, no matter your geography.

We hired Creative Law Network to help with a trademark for our business and were very happy with the experience. They were very knowledgable, helped explain a very confusing process and were successful in obtaining our trademark! Highly recommended!

Dave Ratner has been our attorney since 2016.  Dave is experienced, intelligent, efficient, consistently responsive and timely, and unusually conscientious about his time with respect to the financial limitations artists are often operating within.  Dave takes unusual care to examine anything that requires investment and expenditure.  That is, he is someone who is collaborating with us to stretch resources as far as they can possibly go.

I would like to also describe Dave in a more personal way.  I always look forward to our meetings.  We always have a laugh.  When Dave talks about projects, he always uses the words “we” and “our.” In so many ways, Dave communicates that he is standing shoulder to shoulder with us on each project and concern. I think of Dave not as “the IP attorney,” but as the collaborator who understands the law and addresses legal issues, from contracts to trademark filings to answering random questions like, “Can we illustrate Muppets along with our story characters in this panel?”

We have worked with Dave in the realms of apps, print books and web content, and, unfailingly, he is both a careful listener and someone who will courageously do his job.  It’s not easy to tell people things they don’t want to hear.  After combing through the shortcomings of a messy “Frankencontract,” with a fine tooth comb, Dave told us flat out that we were not getting a good deal. We were disappointed to hear that news for a little while, but, for a much longer time, we will be relieved and grateful that Dave shined a spotlight on all of the nitty-gritty problems.

I could not recommend Dave Ratner more highly.

Emily Irwin and Michael Moroni are equally responsive, conscientious, helpful and always a pleasure to work with, too.

intraMuse Creative (iMc)

We were referred to Dave Ratner by a client and are so grateful to have him in our corner. He truly gets creatives and our work, and hopes that we succeed. The new contract he created for intraMuse empowered us and encouraged a much more efficient and reliable process for onboarding new clients. We feel much more secure in how we do business as a result of our work with Dave. Thank you!

Dave and David at Creative Law Network are top notch. As a creator I am less than organized and seldom think about the details of my business. Having these guys on my team has really given me a level of professionalism I wouldn't have been able to provide for myself. They make the process painless and they will spend the time making sure the work you do with them is valuable to you and your business.

Dave is great! He is able to meet the needs of our business while keeping the language simple - exactly what we are looking for!

From the first phone call until the completion of my services, this law firm was prompt, professional, kind, and effective. I will reach out to this firm for all similar legal needs in the future.
