Previously, one of my clients in Maryland retained Hibbs Law and I was super impressed with their professionalism, friendliness and exceptional knowledge in this field. It is rare to find a law firm that handles the issues with such passion for the details and genuine concern for the client. I will continue to refer to Hibbs Law knowing that my clients are well taken care of and will enjoy the entire process.

I wholeheartedly recommend Hibbs Law for your legal needs! I met with Genna for the first time several years ago because I had a question about some intellectual property and a contract associated with it. Not only was she incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, but it was also obvious she really cared about protecting my interests and my work. When you work with incredible professionals who truly care about what they do and how it impacts their clients, there is no comparison. Genna and her team are fantastic to work with. I have also had the opportunity to work with Genna on other projects and I can enthusiastically say you will not be disappointed working with her or her team in any capacity. Hibbs Law is an asset to our community, and I would refer her to anyone needing their services without hesitation.
Cassandra Vohs-Demann, A Place to Shine Coaching & Speaking Academy
As a founder of a lean startup with limited knowledge about IP’s and trademarks, Genna has patiently explained each step of our US and international trademarks for our bandage brand. When a patent troll came knocking, she systematically silenced his meritless case, but more importantly, eased our minds to focus on the continued tasks at hand. She’s been there to handle our contract agreements and even the occasional ‘what would you do’ calls that come with the territory. That and a jar of homemade spaghetti sauce from her tomato garden, and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind advocate in your corner
Toby Meisenheimer
Tru-Colour Products, LLC
Youth in our community (State of Washington) created a marijuana prevention messaging campaign called, ‘Weed Can Wait’. In order to protect the integrity of the message, our team decided to trademark the message. Ms. Hibbs provided pro bono consultation and assistance in navigating the intellectual property rights laws, ultimately assisting us to trademark two campaigns. We are incredibly grateful for Ms. Hibbs’s kindness, professionalism, and expertise.

Genna has been an incredible resource for our organization. In the complex world of health care regulations, she has been invaluable as a navigator and adviser, helping us to ensure that we are not only compliant with regulatory requirements but that we also have strong measures in place for the safety of our clients and the overall health of our organization.

We recently were awarded a trademark, and someone tried to challenge its validity with the courts. This came out of nowhere! Furthermore, they were infringing on my trademark.
After months of back-and-forth communications with this company trying to challenge us, I think it was Genna’s keen strategies that caused them to finally back down, and ‘surrender’— and drop the whole case. She did a great job positioning our arguments, and at the end of the day, they knew they could not win.
