I use other patent attorneys at HØIBERG, and I have been very happy with their work. The firm may be bigger than you are looking for, but they do good work and are well regarded. Everyone that I have interacted with there is knowledgeable, down to earth, and approachable. If Jens is not a good match for you, perhaps he can recommend someone else at the firm or at another firm.
