Randy Michels, Esq.

Intellectual Property, Trademarks (Transactional)

Nashville, Tennessee

Personal Introduction

I serve on the Academic Committee of the International Trademark Association. In addition, I am on the board of directors for the Dr. Ronald G. Michels Fellowship Foundation, which supports training and education in vitreoretinal surgery. I'm a proud “Double Dore” holding both a bachelor’s degree and a law degree from Vanderbilt University. I take Vanderbilt sports a little too seriously, and I'm raising my children to be the next generation of Vanderbilt super fans. And for some shameless self-promotion: I've been named to Managing Intellectual Property magazine’s list of IP Stars every year since 2013. I'm also "top rated" on Upwork.

Practice Summary

As trademark lawyers, we believe that your trademark is essential to the long term success of your business. To us, that's as important as a platinum record. At Trust Tree, we spend our days helping folks with their trademarks and visiting with friends and family. We reserve a good portion of each day to look for new ways to keep quality high and prices low while making the trademark registration process as convenient, simple, and fun as possible. Trust Tree is a child of Nashville. We are laid back. We have fun. We are honest and fair. We talk straight. We are great at what we do, but we aren't fancy. Most importantly, we hope what we've put together is helpful to you.
