Meet Carrie, Principal at Frias Indian Law

Meet Richard, Principal at Frias Indian Law
Richard “Rico” Frias has been practicing as an attorney for nearly 15 years. Richard previously served as the executive director of the Native American Finance Officers Association and legislative director of the National Indian Gaming Association. He also previously served as the chief general counsel for the Pueblo of Pojoaque in New Mexico.
“I wanted to trademark my logo to protect my small fashion brand but didn’t know where to start. I didn’t have any experience navigating the process and Carrie’s expertise was so reassuring. She went above and beyond by taking the time to listen and understand why this felt like such an important leap for me as a Native Woman-owned small business.”
