Approach

My approach to the law (including trademark law, copyright law, music law, fashion law, entertainment law and corporate law) is rooted in an understanding of what it is to be a client. These principles guide me:

Preventative Legal Medicine is part of lawyer Melissa K. Dagodag’s approach:

It is almost always better to prevent a problem than it is to react to one. I use my experience to spot potential legal issues and work hard to prevent problems before they occur.

Effective Communication is part of lawyer Melissa K. Dagodag’s approach:

I strive to help you clearly understand the legal issues you face, and as much as possible, I speak in plain English.

Respect for Creativity is part of lawyer Melissa K. Dagodag’s approach:

Creative people can think differently, and I appreciate that. When it’s helpful, I can think outside the box and am able to relate well to my creative clients.

Ethical, Efficient, and Effective Work is part of lawyer Melissa K. Dagodag’s approach:

I keep my clients’ issues confidential, and I only provide services that my clients and I agree are in their best interest.
