Anthony Paredes

Anthony Paredes comes from a marketing and business background — which means he understands firsthand how much a brand is worth and what it takes to build one. He became a lawyer because he wanted to use legal knowledge the way he used to use marketing: as a growth tool, not just a safety net. He brings an entrepreneur's mindset to every client relationship, focused on where they are going, not just where they are.

At Ascent Legal, Anthony focuses on trademark strategy and business formation. He helps content creators, production companies, and growing businesses protect their brand names, logos, and creative assets through USPTO filings and trademark portfolio management. He advises clients on clearance, registration, and practical brand protection strategy so they own what they build before someone else stakes a claim to it.

On the business formation side, Anthony helps individuals and companies structure their businesses the right way from the start — entity selection, operating agreements, founder documentation, and the legal infrastructure that allows a business to scale with confidence. Whether you are a solo creator forming your first LLC or a growing company formalizing your structure, Anthony makes the process straightforward and tailored to where you are headed.

Anthony also has significant experience in U.S. immigration law, having assisted clients with EB-3 immigrant petitions, PERM labor certifications, E-1 treaty trader visas, VAWA petitions, and U-Visas. This breadth of experience gives him a deep understanding of the real-life stakes behind legal decisions and reinforces his client-centered, solutions-driven approach.

Known for being approachable, responsive, and practical, Anthony ensures clients understand their options at every stage and feel confident in the decisions they make. His goal is not just sound legal advice — it is peace of mind and a clear path forward.
