He left the corporate world and became an award-winning documentary filmmaker and photographer while traveling to places like England, India, and Mexico. In between all that, Trevor started a couple of different companies. For over 20 years, Trevor was a creator and an entrepreneur, so he understands their unique legal needs. His legal practice is dedicated to helping inventors, creators, and businesses protect their rights and pursue their dreams.
