"Jason has played an invaluable role in helping me protect my brand and the original artwork at the heart of my business. His guidance has given me greater confidence in standing up for my creative work and navigating the challenges of being an artist and small business owner. Having someone in my corner who understands the value of what I’ve built allows me to focus on creating and growing my brand. He's always an email or phone call away and promptly helps with contracts and filings."

“As an art brand with 30+ brand collaborations, I negotiate all my own licensing deals, and Jason has been my go-to for contracts and business dealings for several years, from licensee agreements to evaluating agency representation. He’s thorough, knowledgeable and responsive, and I always feel informed, protected and confident he’s got my back, whatever comes my way. I couldn’t imagine getting to where I am today without him.”

"We've been working with Aquilino Law for many years now, and I feel so fortunate to have found Jason. I'm sure Jason Aquilino has many clients, but he always responds immediately and remembers every detail of our cases, as if I were his only client. I also really appreciate that he treats small cases with the same care and attention as the larger ones. His instincts have also proven to be very reliable throughout the years, and I've never regretted following his advice. Jason's firm has collected many significant settlements for us, and helped stamp out many companies who were stealing my artwork. He's also just a really nice guy and explains everything in plain language. "
