About Michael Ahmadshahi, PhD, Law Offices

Michael Ahmadshahi, PhD, Law Offices is an intellectual property and business litigation practice located at 4695 MacArthur Court in Newport Beach, California. The firm’s stated practice areas cover patents, patent infringement, copyrights and trademarks, trade secrets, IP and business litigation, and contract preparation and disputes. Its trademark work is described in terms of prosecution, infringement, litigation, and business trademark matters. The practice is led by attorney Michael M. Ahmadshahi, who holds a PhD and is listed on the firm’s site as Michael M. Ahmadshahi, Ph.D., Esq.

The firm states more than 20 years of experience and says it has handled over 150 worldwide patents spanning the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Australia. Case results published on the site include patent infringement, trade secret, trade dress infringement, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and breach of contract matters, with listed settlements and verdicts ranging from $500,000 to $10,000,000. Those figures reflect the firm’s own published case list rather than an independent rating.

Clients described in reviews range from individual inventors and first-time filers to small businesses and companies in active disputes. The firm markets itself to Orange County and Los Angeles, and lists Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Diego, and Palo Alto/San Jose among the cities it serves. Its website positions the practice as able to act as in-house counsel for businesses that prefer ongoing intellectual property management over single filings, and consultation scheduling is offered through the site and by phone, with a toll-free line listed alongside the Newport Beach office number.

Review feedback most frequently emphasizes direct access to the attorney and clear communication. Several reviewers describe receiving substantive guidance by phone or email before any discussion of retainers, and others note patience with detailed questions, plain-language explanations for people unfamiliar with legal proceedings, and prompt responses. Recurring praise also covers provisional patent and terms-of-service work, partnership and negotiation matters, and trademark disputes. Reviews from clients who describe returning over multiple years point to long-term relationships.

The 20-review profile is mixed. Most ratings are five stars, but a small number of one-star reviews report dissatisfaction, including a claim that the attorney did not grasp the details of a court order and a more serious allegation of conflicted representation that the firm rebuts in a detailed owner response citing withdrawal over unpaid fees. Prospective clients weighing the firm should note that split and can ask about case history and fee arrangements directly.
