"I turned to Francesca at ESCA Legal to help me with a global brand protection strategy to do something about knockoffs. After years and years of other attorneys telling me there was nothing I could do because we didn’t have a patent on my product, ESCA Legal was able to get me protections that we could enforce and help stop counterfeits coming in from overseas."
