Send Us the Notice You Received

The fastest way to get a reliable answer is to send the actual notice, letter, or court papers. Pick your situation below, attach what you have, and we confirm the conflict check and the fixed fee before any work begins.

Email the notice to ip@zyllaw.com (copyright, trademark, letters, Schedule A / TRO) or patent@zyllaw.com (APEX and other patent complaints). Include the platform, store name, affected ASINs or links, the complainant's name, and any deadline. Sending information does not create an attorney–client relationship; we first run a conflict check against the complainant.

Frequently asked questions

Does sending my notice make you my lawyer?

No. An attorney–client relationship begins only after the conflict check and a signed engagement. Do not send confidential strategy documents before then; the notice itself is enough to start.

Can I send materials in Chinese?

Yes. Our team works in English and Mandarin.

The deadline in my notice is very short. What should I do?

Send the notice immediately and put the deadline in the email subject. Do not let the deadline pass while deciding; we tell you what can be done in the time available.

Attorney Advertising. This page is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney–client relationship. Listed amounts are professional fees only and exclude government fees, APEX deposits, court costs, and other third-party charges; the written quote controls. No lawyer can guarantee how a platform, evaluator, or court will decide, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Engagement is subject to a conflict check. Federal court matters are handled by counsel admitted to the relevant court, with local counsel where required.
