If you asked Chad’s family, friends, and colleagues about what drives Chad to work tirelessly through the night, they would likely say that 1) he cares about his family and 2) he cares just as much about the employees that depend on him.. This dedicated passion for workers’ rights comes from being raised in a union home in Louisville, Ky. and having parents that taught him inclusivity, integrity, compassion, and to put others before himself. Furthermore, Chad’s passion for workers’ rights also stems from his experiences working since he was 15. Like many, Chad worked multiple jobs (i.e retail, fast food, delivery driver, laborer, manufacturer) in order to provide for his family and pay for college. In fact, when Chad began his first semester at University of Louisville School of Law, he was also employed full-time at a Louisville manufacturing plant where he was a night shift union shop-steward. During law school Chad made every attempt to gain opportunities in all things relating to labor and employment law so that he could fulfill his passion to represent workers who need a voice when they need it the most.

At all times, my main objective is to give my clients the answers and information they need to make the right decisions about their intellectual property. When my advice moves a client forward in their pursuit of IP, I value the opportunity to help my clients’ portfolio grow. Sometimes, however, my more valuable role is to steer the client away from risk, even if it means moving the business in a different direction than the client had planned. Understanding what is at stake, I make it a goal to give the client all the information necessary to make informed choices and navigate the way to success.. I believe the first phone call with, or email to, an IP attorney is one of the most important steps a business can take when launching a new idea, because action without the proper protection can have drastic ramifications. I try to take the risk and guesswork out by providing clear direction from the moment I start working with a client.. The environment at Richards Patent Law facilitates this guidance. We pride ourselves on approachability and encourage our clients to view us as a resource for all things IP- and legal-related. It has been my privilege to form collaborative and constructive relationships with clients at RPL.

Practice Areas: Administrative Law

My name is Catherine Cornell, and I am an attorney who works to get veterans and their families the benefits they deserve. I became interested in helping veterans with disabilities in college during an internship at CNN in Washington, DC when I researched a story about homeless veterans. After getting my master's degree in journalism, I worked in TV broadcasting for several years. I then left TV journalism to pursue a career in law.. After law school I worked as a litigator at the Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago (now Legal Aid Chicago) for more than five years, helping some of Chicago's most impoverished residents with a variety of legal matters. After a short stint as one of the editors of the journal generated by the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law, I worked at a law firm where I got my start handling veterans compensation claims.. Seeing the frustration experienced by so many veterans and their family members trying to navigate the complicated VA system, I decided to establish my own law practice that focuses only on VA benefits. I handle cases at all levels of appeal, from the regional office level up to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Additionally, my father served honorably in the U.S. Air Force.. In addition to owning my own law practice, I serve on the board of the Veterans Legal Aid Society. I am also a sustaining member of the National Organization of Veterans' Advocates.. When I am not working on behalf of veterans and their families I love to bike, spend time with my family, read, hike, bake (I make a mean chocolate chip cookie) and play with our rescue dog, Rosie.
