I help online marketplace sellers manage their overall account health and work with sellers to get their suspended listings or account reinstated on their respective marketplaces (Amazon, Etsy, eBay, etc.). Whether your listings/account has just been suspended and you're not sure what to do, or you've run into so many dead ends with getting reinstated and have no options left, I can help. • I can help clients who no longer receive responses from the businesses with whom they have an issue. • I'll work with you until you see the result you want or all appealing methods have been exhausted; success cannot be guaranteed. • We'll keep in touch regularly to ensure we reach a resolution for you as soon as possible. PLEASE NOTE: I only accept cases I think have a chance for reinstatement, even though I cannot guarantee it. I review the details of every case before I accept them. I will not accept your case if it's clear that your account has engaged in the sale of counterfeit goods, your identity cannot be verified, or it's apparent to Amazon that you've acted maliciously.

Experienced attorney with a passion for non-profit and corporation strategy; I have helped secure over $500M in grant funding for my clients across the United States. After writing grant applications on my tour bus while touring the world as a guitarist for #1 Billboard hit artists like Tantric, I decided to jump in to law school and taking my passion for grant writing to the next level. While learning about the law, I worked as a Senior Research Associate for the New York State Innovation Law Center. As a Senior Research Associate, I would facilitate meetings with clients with innovative technologies looking to patent and/or commercialize their ideas. I would perform in depth intellectual property landscapes, develop market plans, analyze business models and commercialization strategies. I would also help train the Junior Associates to learn those skills. From there, I moved on to Aetna - a Fortune 500 Company. I supported both the Intellectual Property and Procurement legal groups. While at Aetna, I designed company policy. I also created workflow processes to create legal solutions for problems like legal content review, marketing campaign regulatory approvals, and more. I also helped to analyze MBAs, negotiate and draft different vendor agreements and RFPs. I'm ready to take all my experience and add it to your business or research project! Rock on, Molly D'Agostino, Esq.

I am pausing taking on any new clients at this time. This does not apply to new projects for past clients. Thank you for your understanding. --- If you need to secure a trademark that sticks- or if you're in a sticky trademark situation- I can be your go-to trademark lawyer. I have helped many businesses from all over the world to register, protect, and enforce their trademarks under U.S. federal law. From clearance searches and USPTO applications to responding to Office Actions and handling disputes, I guide clients through the entire process with practical advice and clear communication. Whether you're launching a new brand or safeguarding an existing one, I make sure your trademarks work for you. Credentials: I am a licensed U.S. trademark attorney who has represented hundreds of clients before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). I earned my BA from Cornell University and my Juris Doctorate from Brooklyn Law School. I am a member of the NY state and Massachusetts state bars.

Experience: I have handled trademark legal matters for professional sports teams, restaurant owners, social media influencers, software developers, and companies in the pharmaceutical, cannabis, cosmetics, and logistics industries, to name a few. Achievements: I recently obtained a six-figure settlement for a client whose trademark had been infringed by a competitor. Versatility: Whether you need help choosing a strong brand name, submitting an application to the USPTO, responding to an Office Action refusal, or handling a Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceeding, I can help you with each stage of the trademark process: -Trademark clearance search to find out if your trademark is available for use -Analysis of the strength of a trademark -Legal counsel regarding trademark conflicts and disputes -Applications to the USPTO -Challenges to rejections ("Office Actions") such as the 2(d) Likelihood of Confusion refusal and the 2(e) Descriptiveness refusal -Trademark forms and procedures such as the Statement of Use, Assignments, Renewals and Extensions -Drafting or responding to Cease and Desist Letters -Trademark Trial and Appeal Board proceedings -Letters of Protest -Expungement proceedings -Amazon Brandy Registry set up -Take down requests on Amazon, Ebay, Walmart etc. -Customs & Border Control recordation for counterfeit protection My passion is helping clients understand the law and achieve their goals. I look forward to working with you! Testimonials from past clients: "Lindsay Kaplan was amazing to work with in completing the trademark application and process for my business. She was patient while I asked her so many questions and she constantly made sure I fully understood her responses. She saved me so much time, frustration and worry. Thanks to Lindsay's thoroughness, I fully knew what to accept with the application process and the steps required of me thereafter. Highly recommend!" -Heather, New York "You have done such an excellent job in representing us. I don’t know how to express in words how impressed I am. I've worked with literally dozens of attorneys from a variety of specialties. You are the best." -Gary, Monterey California "Lindsay was incredibly helpful with the forming of my LLC and trademarks. We ran into numerous hiccups along the way, but she continued to find solutions and was so easy to work with.

🚀 Real-World Litigation Firepower, Reimagined for the Digital Legal Marketplace. I’m Steve, a multi-state licensed trial attorney (NY, NJ, PA, CA) honored by Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America and Super Lawyers: Upstate New York Rising Stars annually since 2021. Over the past decade, I’ve litigated high-stakes personal injury and commercial cases for plaintiffs and defendants—advocating for Fortune 500 clients like Tesla, Hyundai, and State Farm in both state and federal courts. From catastrophic injury claims and wrongful death cases to insurance coverage disputes and complex civil litigation, my experience is broad. My practice blends litigation-tested legal strategy with the agility and responsiveness today's clients demand. Whether you're a business facing a complex legal issue, an attorney seeking premium litigation support, or a startup needing early-stage legal insight, I deliver precision-driven legal work that meets the moment—with an emphasis on speed, clarity, and results. 💡 Why Clients Choose Me: ✅ Elite Litigation Credentials, Real-World Results With a decade of experience in catastrophic injury, insurance, and business litigation, I’ve successfully handled everything from multi-party tort actions to high-dollar coverage disputes. I bring the strategic thinking of a seasoned trial lawyer to every matter—whether it’s a $750 contract review or a seven-figure demand. ✅ Dual-Sided Perspective That Wins Cases Having represented both plaintiffs and institutional defendants, I understand the playbook from both sides of the table. This allows me to anticipate adversarial moves, neutralize common defense tactics, and craft case narratives that resonate with both adjusters and juries. ✅ Strategic Framing That Drives Value I don’t just provide deliverables—I position legal work to accomplish business goals. Whether you’re pursuing recovery, managing litigation exposure, or testing a new service model, I help clients make informed, outcome-oriented decisions with legal strategies that support broader objectives. 🛠️ High-Value Legal Services I Deliver: 📑 Demand Letters & Settlement Packages These aren’t off-the-shelf templates. I create tailored, fact-driven demand packages that present your case as a compelling litigation risk—supported by medical summaries, liability narratives, and exposure framing. Designed to command attention, drive negotiation leverage, and maximize recovery. 📄 Litigation Support & Motion Practice Need a trial-ready brief or critical motion? I deliver well-researched, strategically positioned pleadings with the tone, structure, and legal analysis courts respect. Ideal for solo or small-firm attorneys needing overflow support with no compromise on quality. 🔍 Complex Case Analysis Across Medical, Technical & Legal Domains With a decade of experience analyzing high-stakes personal injury, professional liability, and insurance defense matters, I specialize in distilling complex medical records, expert reports, crash data, and claim files into clear, actionable legal strategy. Whether dissecting causation theories, challenging liability assumptions, or identifying evidentiary gaps, I bring a rigorous, multidisciplinary approach that strengthens case positioning and maximizes strategic leverage. 💼 Legal Tech & AI Integration Consulting I advise legal teams and tech developers on the responsible, effective integration of generative AI into legal workflows. From use-case development to ethical risk mitigation, I offer attorney-led insight rooted in both legal practice and technical literacy. From guiding legal-tech startups on AI integration to advising traditional law firms on best practices, I bring an attorney’s strategic mindset plus a developer’s familiarity with emerging technologies. ✨ Bonus Value: Enhanced Efficiency Through Advanced Legal Tools Behind the scenes, I leverage cutting-edge tools and AI systems to streamline research and drafting—delivering big-firm quality with boutique responsiveness. Every deliverable is personally reviewed, refined, and tailored for strategic impact. Let’s connect. If you’re looking for a legal professional who brings courtroom-tested experience, elite-caliber writing skill, and modern efficiency to every engagement—look no further. I’m equally comfortable handling one-time projects or forming longer-term partnerships to support ongoing legal needs, ensuring consistent, high-quality representation as your business or case evolves. 📬 Message me today and let’s build something innovative.

Resolve and hard work have taken me to where I am today, professionally. I work with precision to detail, style, and grammar. I am highly organized, which is reflected in my work and writing. I incorporate feedback into proofreading and editing writing materials, and have taken many writing classes for writers to learn the best ways to approach feedback in their writing and in the editing process. Some fun facts about me! I am a honest, loyal, and committed public servant of Chinese-American Jewish descent with a strong work ethic who loves process and firmly believes in providing equal access to justice for all. Lifelong learner with the ability to relate to and work with anyone, including administrative staff, court officers, Supreme Court Judges, and unrepresented litigants.

Whereas the very precise and persuasive nature of legal writing has helped me to fine tune my writing skills with a level of maturity and professionalism, my consistent enthusiasm for learning keeps my content both fresh and exciting.

I always make sure to keep up to date on the most recent rules and regulations for anything I am tasked to do, as well as ensure I use the most relevant and governing case law. can file a myriad of applications such as those involving business entity work, licenses, trademarks and copyrights, tax work, ability to operate businesses and sell or provide the services and products associated with each specific business, and other applications to the correct governing body or enforcement agency. I can draft and review basic to complex contracts. I have been the point person for multiple agencies, government bodies, and courts in relation to the task at hand. I have experience ensuring legal tax requirements are being met as well as knowing when exemptions apply for taxes and other types of registrations. I have loads of Compliance and legal experience working for financial institutions including broker/dealers, banks, private equity funds, and hedge funds. I am an expert on securities law. I have also worked in Compliance for commercial and business service companies. I can even just help with random legal tasks, even if they are more administrative. I am very punctual, attentive, communicative, collaborative, and organized. I am a quick learner and am able provide exceptional work as I put my full effort into every step of a process involving whatever legal task I have been assigned to do. Please read my resume for a more in-depth look into my experience. If you are interested in my help in those areas, I would be happy to provide you with more details or answer any questions about my experience with certain job tasks and legal areas as I have done many things not expressly listed on my resume because I have so much experience in so many areas of law from my freelance work that I’ve done while working in full time positions listed on my resume which emphasizes the fact that my full time work experience mostly focused on finance, corporate, compliance, securities regulation and trademark law. I have been doing freelance work for over a year and a half in addition to my last 1099 full time position, which is why I have been able to gain experience in so many different areas of law. Some of that freelance work was not done through upwork so don’t be detered by the number of jobs I have done on here. Also most of those jobs began as one task but then went on to include multiple more tasks from the same client under the original contract because of how happy they were with my work. I now understand how to ask for milestone pay to show all the tasks I do for one client under a single contract so the work I’ve done under each contract is more accurately demonstrated on here. I hope to work with you soon! :)
