Our Approach

Gompers IP Services was founded in 2014 by Samuel Gompers.  Our goal is a simple one: provide quality and expert legal services at an affordable price.  To that end, we are a virtual practice.  That is, we do not operate out of an office.  Today's vast array of technological tools and software permit most of the attorney/client interactions to take place outside of traditional settings.  This not only cuts down on expenses, but we have found that most of our clients are quite comfortable with and prefer the informality.  Rest assured that your legal needs are being given the maximum professional attention in any environment.

Samuel Gompers has a unique mix of educational and professional qualifications that put Gompers IP Services at the vanguard of intellectual property practices.  In addition to completing a J.D. degree from Widener University Commonwealth Law School, Dr. Gompers received a doctorate in Laser Physics from American University, while conducting his research at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center.  Prior to that, he was a satellite engineer at NASA Goddard, working on a variety of Earth and science satellite missions.  He was a member of various attitude ground control and mission planning teams.  Additionally, he was a key figure in the rescue and re-boost of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.  Dr. Gompers's post doctoral research was at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in the Department of Physics, focusing on theoretical quantum optics.
