Portland Intellectual Property, Business Law, and Other Client Testimonials
Ted was very helpful in determining a path forward. While I did not get the answer I wanted, I did get the answer I needed to hear. I will gladly do business with Veritas Business Law again.

When an auto-mechanic informed me (after months of me using public transit) that the engine needed to fix my car was not available, I asked for a refund. The auto mechanic refused to give me my money back, and refused to let me retrieve my vehicle. After I contacted the BBB, the auto mechanic damaged my car intentionally, and parked it next to a fire hydrant.
I’ve never had to sue somebody before. But, there really was no alternative besides foregoing the thousands of dollars I had paid, and my vehicle.
After searching, I decided to go with Veritas Business Law.
I’m so glad that I made this decision. Every step of the way, I’ve been overwhelmingly impressed with Ted’s professionalism, integrity, and fortitude.
He is consistently on the ball. Every time there has been a court appearance, he made sure I knew about it, and he’s always been there, on time, and ready to get it done.
In the courtroom, he has been a zealous advocate. Often times, I was grateful the court appearance was telephonic because the look on my face of pure astonishment of Ted’s articulation of arguments was better not displayed in public.
I hope and pray that I never need an attorney again. But, if I do, and if I need a lawyer for a business related issue, I know exactly whom to call.
Thank you to Mr. Ted Roe for your hard work, integrity, professionalism, and kindness. You’re my hero!

Ted has been very attentive to my endeavors and promptly responds to updates and matters at hand. He’s a fount of knowledge as he educates and informs me about my options in a way that is empowering, which is refreshing.
Based on my direct experiences with Ted, I would highly recommend Veritas Business Law.

Ted Roe helped us with a petty matter that was brought up by another party. He was very professional, on point with his responses, and called them out on their meritless claims when corresponding with the other party. Very happy with our outcome, and extremely happy we used him to help resolve the issue.

As a small business owner, I was unexpectedly served with a lawsuit. As this had never happened in over 8 years of being in business, I knew I needed to act quickly to protect my company. I Googled reputable business law attorney’s in the areas and Ted Roe with Veritas Business Law came up on the first page. The excellent reviews compelled me to reach out right then and there, and to my surprise, Ted answered directly.
Ted wasted NO TIME contacting the opposing party to let them know I was being represented by him. His counsel was impeccable throughout the whole process! Ted was intentional about keeping me informed during the whole process and took the time to explain complex legal terms in a concise and non-jargon way, which I greatly appreciated. I am VERY pleased with the outcome of the case. In sum, if you are looking for an aggressive, dogmatic, thorough, and knowledgeable attorney who leads with integrity, Ted Roe is your guy!!!

Ted is a wonderful lawyer. He’s professional, experienced and attentive. When I came to him with an issue with our home, he took time to listen to all of our pain points and really understand the case at hand. The same goes for some issues I encountered with an employer. He knew exactly how to help me and did so flawlessly.
If anytime in the future I find myself needing legal services again, there is no doubt I will be hiring him for the job.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Ted was able to help me understand my legal rights, and the laws around them, when an unexpected situation presented itself to me and my small business. He also helped me figure out some of the options I had moving forward. After my consultation with Ted I felt much more confident and was able to make informed choices. Thank you!

Like most people this was one of the only times I’ve ever had to talk to a lawyer. I had a contract dispute involving my business and I was stressed and worried but Ted explained everything to me in a way that I could understand and put me at ease.
He took over immediately and eliminated a lot of the stress and before I knew it, he had resolved the dispute for more than I originally wanted. I’ve also gotten trademark advice from him and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good lawyer who will really take care of you. If I ever need a lawyer again, I’m calling Veritas.

We are a broadcasting group with radio stations throughout the US. When we needed local representation in Oregon, in an action against an advertiser, we contacted Ted. The lawsuit was disputed by the advertiser and he made contract and constitutional arguments against us, but Ted did an incredible job and prevailed 100% for us. We could not have been happier and wholeheartedly recommend his firm without reservation.

I was in a boat accident a few years ago, which was caused by the other party’s misjudgment. I did not have any insurance on my boat, as it is a small sailboat without motor, which does not require insurance. The other boat was a powerboat, and was insured. Although I made it clear, as best I could, why it was not my fault, their insurance company insisted for months that I should pay for their repair cost and threatened to sue me. I contacted Ted for help. Ted, after a few days of careful research, wrote one letter to the insurance company, which completely silenced them. I never hear from them again. His letter had stringent wordings but well-reasoned, I recall.

Ted is a total professional. When I had problems with a copyright, another attorney referred me to him and I was immediately impressed with his knowledge as well as his ability to tell me what my options were in plain English. I was really reluctant to hire a lawyer because I thought it would cost me a fortune, but Ted resolved my problem for way less than I would have thought possible. If I ever have a problem again, I’m calling Ted.

I needed to have my business name trademark registered and I literally didn’t know where to begin. There are services that charge very little to register a trademark but I learned that they are often useless if there is a problem and there was definitely a problem with my application. After finding Ted and filling him in on what I had already done, he told me not to worry and they he could easily fix the problem. Not only did Ted quickly fix the problem, he got our registration back on track and it was approved in less time than I expected. I learned that the cheapest option is not always the best option. For only a slightly higher price I felt like I got a very knowledgeable attorney and world class service. I would definitely recommend Ted.

Ted is hands down the best attorney I’ve ever worked with. I hired him when our trademark was being infringed by a competing company. He was professional, intelligent, always responsive and got us an outstanding resolution! We have hired him many times since on business related matters, from contract review and drafting to corporate compliance issues. I recommend Ted 100% without reservation. We look forward to continuing to work with Ted in the future.

Ted handled my trademark application with diligence and helpfulness. I was surprised at how quickly things went after I followed his directions. Ted was patient and informative throughout the process and delivered on every promise in a timely and professional manner. Whenever I want trademark or copyright help, I’ll go to Ted. I have recommended him to colleagues and will continue to recommend his excellent services to all.

I own an Oregon based distillery and when we discovered that another company that makes beer was using our name, we started researching our options. After reading an article that Ted wrote, I called him and he started representing us in short order. After he sent out a cease and desist letter there was considerable push back by the brewery but thanks to Ted they agreed to stop using our name and surrender their websites to us, since they used our name. This was a 100% win as far as I’m concerned. Ted also helped us protect our name for the future. Ted did a phenomenal job and I would love to work with him again if the need arises.

We are a company located outside the United States. We are a distributor of products for sale via the internet. When we were sued in Utah for trademark infringement, I contacted our attorney who told us to contact Ted. I was delighted to learn that Ted speaks French, our primary language. After I explained the case to Ted, he had some excellent ideas on how the lawsuit should be defended against. The opposing party took a difficult position but Ted didn’t back down and ultimately we settled the case for very favorable terms. If we ever need a lawyer in the US again, I will be calling Ted. I recommend Ted, particularly on commercial, trademark or international disputes.

Ted is simply the best! I originally hired him to give me advice on how to protect my music and myself in contracting with others, then I hired him to copyright an album for me and when I later discovered someone was using my songs, Ted had my back. He took immediate action and not only got them stop using my songs but also got a sizable settlement for me. I can’t tell you how nice it is to have a smart, capable lawyer in my corner. I will happily hire Ted again and recommend him to anyone else who wants to be smart and protect themselves. Thanks again Ted! You’re the best!

My company had a very difficult intellectual property dispute in federal court and Ted was a champ! Not only did he explain every issue fully and in a way I could clearly understand he was incredibly knowledgeable (I can see why he teaches this subject) and skilled in the way he approaches resolving disputes. The opposing party and their lawyers were difficult but Ted always kept his cool and stuck to the facts and law and pushed forward to trial. I believe that we only received a very favorable settlement in our IP lawsuit because of Ted’s skill and tenacity. We have already hired him again to redraft our licensing agreements. So whether it’s litigation or transactions I would recommend Ted without reservation.
Steve
2015
Ted was very helping in consulting me on a matter of copyright infringement concerning garment design. He spoke with me about my rights, and what steps I could take regarding the matter, prior to taking any action. When the time came to hire him, I felt very confident what my retainer was allocating, and what steps he was taking to help me. He was informative during the process, so I never felt in the dark or confused about any details of my case. In the end, everything sorted itself out well.
Jamie

Ted’s work was both efficient and very well done. I would happily recommend him for the types of services he rendered me (business and intellectual property).

I have a small clothing business and Ted counseled me when I had a trademark infringement concern. I ended up not needing to take legal action, but I was very grateful for his advice.
Holly

Ted was hired by me to get a trademark for my small self-publishing business. He did extensive research to make sure no other company was using this name. He went to court and proved the case that my firm is the only one of that name devoted to publishing music. Excellent.
Patricia

Ted helped us with the formation of our company was very easy to work with. He took the time to make sure all our legal bases were covered in our paperwork both with the state and clients. The only time we’ve had an issue, Ted worked doggedly to get us what we deserved and resolve the legal problem. I highly recommend Ted.

Fellow lawyer in community
I’ve hired Ted a few times now for everything from Trademark registration to sending a cease and desist letter to helping set up my business and then a business contract dispute. I have always been happy with how well Ted treats me and makes sure that I am informed fully and understand my options. I will absolutely continue to use Ted in the future and recommend him to anyone else needing a lawyer.

I work in the tech industry and I’ve known Ted for many years now and had the pleasure of working with him several times. He is intelligent, thoughtful and always sensitive to speak to non-lawyers in terms they can understand. He is always working to resolve clients’ problems with a minimum of costs. Ted is simply the best lawyer I’ve ever worked with. If you have a legal problem, I highly recommend that you contact Ted for help.

Ted helped me when no one else would take my case. I’ve never seen someone work so hard for me. Ted really cares about his clients and went out of his way to make sure I was well protected and that my rights were enforced. Ted understood that I was not use to the legal system and he made a very difficult situation a lot better. If I ever needed a lawyer again, I will be calling Ted.

Ted is a stand up guy. His moral fabric is impeccable and his sense of justice and his willingness to help those in need make him an excellent resource for those requiring his assistance. I have know Ted for twenty years and call him one of my best connections. I often phone him just to discuss contemporary issues because I know the conversation will be enlightening. Ted has the unique ability to relate to all sides of the issue and very resistant to the formation of biased opinions. I value my relationship with Ted and recommend his work to others.
Kevin Gibbs

Ted provides specialized legal service to clients needing copyright or trademark protection for their intellectual property. As a small business attorney, it is helpful for me to know other lawyers who provide superior service for a reasonable price. Ted offers flat fee pricing which gives clients certainty about their legal expenses. I highly recommend Ted for copyright and trademark work and will continue to refer clients to him.
James M. Hillas
2013
I have known Ted personally for over 15 years, having first met him when he was donating his time and talents with St. Mary’s Cathedral Choir. Ted’s good deeds have not been limited to his work as an attorney though. Ted has always been eager to help others. He regularly volunteered to assist the church with school events and other functions. Ted regularly gave of himself, in his time, talents as well as giving of his worldly possessions when it would make other’s lives easier. I know that Ted regularly opens his home to out of town guests, with no compensation, simply to live a life full of charity. Ted also gives of himself to the community through participation in drop-out pretension programs and work with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, Meals on Wheels and other charities. Ted is a good, trustworthy, honest, ethical and dignified man. I stand behind Ted without any reservation.
Archbishop John Vlazny

I was shocked one day when I received a letter saying that I was being sued for copyright infringement along with over 600 other people. I immediately went to see a lawyer, but after I told him about what was happening he said, “you need to call Ted. He is the expert on these cases.” That was the best advice I’d ever gotten. After I called Ted and he told the case, he immediately filed papers to have the case dismissed against me. Within a matter of months, not only did he get the case dismissed against me, but also against most of the other defendants. I was so worried before I hired Ted and he really put my mind at ease. I would happily hire Ted again if I had the need for a lawyer.
Joanne R.

We needed a lawyer badly. Someone who we had a commercial dispute with bought domain names on the internet under our personal names and started posted really terrible stuff about us and links to pornography. It was so much stress. A friend suggested we call Ted and after we told him what happened he was so outraged by what he heard, he started work that very day. Within the week he had sent out cease and desist demand letters to not only the guy doing this but the web hosting companies and internet service providers in an effort to get the domains released to us. In no time, Ted had secured the domains for us and had any objectionable material removed. We were lucky to find Ted and wholeheartedly recommend him.
Jerry & Cathy B.
2013
I know Ted very well in both a professional and personal capacity. I was admitted to practice law in Washington in 2007, and since then I have worked with Ted on many cases, doing research and writing memos and briefs. My professional experience while working with Ted have been extremely rewarding. My experience has been that Ted is smart, dedicated, and extremely ethical. I would be honored to continue to work with him.
Matt R.

We are a film production company who needed a variety of agreements drafted for a production, from crew, actor, writer and director agreement to releases to film financing agreements. Ted did a great job tailoring all these agreements to our special needs. He was extremely easy to work with and we hope that we can work with him again. We absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer, particular those in the creative fields.

Patricia R.
2012
We needed a trademark lawyer for a lawsuit that was filed against our business and none of the lawyers in our town handled that kind of work, so one of them recommended Ted. As soon as we talked to him and he explained our options we wanted him representing us. While, we understand that these cases can take a long time to resolve and be very expensive, Ted resolved the case against us in only few months and with a minimum of expenses to us. If we ever need a lawyer again, we are calling Ted.
Yan Z.

I had a contractual dispute with my employer, which is never a good thing. Ted was great. He was sensitive to that fact that I wasted to get the dispute resolved but I still wanted to work there. He was extremely careful to assert my position but not to burn any bridges. I was extremely pleased with the results he obtained and I highly recommend him.

Stephanie M.

Ted represented our construction company in a contentious contract dispute.

I recommend Ted without reservation and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
John O.
2009
Our business was being sued for copyright infringement and I read an article that Ted had written about the same subject. When I called him, he was extremely professional and explained all my options in easily understood terms. After I hired him, he was great. He always kept us informed and made sure that we understand what our options were and that the ultimate decisions were ours regarding what to do about the case. We followed his recommendations and got the case settled for less than we thought we could. Ted is a super nice guy, a very knowledgeable lawyer and joy to work with.
Christine B.

My business was in a commercial dispute over the delivery of a large, very expensive piece of equipment.

Thank you Ted! We would recommend him to anyone.
