Gary Hood has a national practice, limited to intellectual property disputes/matters (patent, trademark, copyright) in federal court.  He is admitted to the bars of the States of Illinois and Washington, as well as a number of federal courts.  He is also a registered patent attorney, admitted to the bar of the United States Patent & Trademark Office.

During his career, he has officed and worked in Chicago, Illinois, as well as Seattle and Tacoma, Washington.  But modern technology has rendered the traditional physical office model of practice inefficient and unnecessary.  So Mr. Hood now offers his services in federal courts in Illinois, Washington, and other locations where he is admitted.  When asked to represent clients in jurisdictions or courts to which Mr. Hood is not already admitted, we associate with lawyers local to that jurisdiction, and seek admission pro hac vice (for the specific case).

But wherever the case is located, we pride ourselves on doing things right.  We comply with all professional and ethical rules and requirements, so we only take cases in courts and jurisdictions where we are admitted already or gain admission for the specific case.
