Trusted by Families and Businesses Across Washington and Oregon
"Susan Ford is exactly the kind of professional that every entrepreneur should have on her team! What we have learned about and accomplished with our intellectual property is extremely critical to scaling our business. Most recently, with Susan's expert navigating and negotiation, we secured a trademark that was, at the time of initial research, off the table. After months of careful maneuvering, it is now ours!"
“Susan Ford helped me prepare for a small claims case (where I represented my company) for a customer that sued us for nearly $5,000. Before hiring Susan I had checked with two other lawyers but I did not feel confident. Susan helped with both the mediation and the final court hearing. With her knowledge in my brain, I was able to make a clear and coherent explanation of events. The judge decided the case in my favor. I recommend Res Nova for anyone dealing with business issues in Oregon.”
