Anyone know the Trademark Process?

I’m about to start a side business and I want to trademark the name so nobody else can use it. I know very little about the trademark process but before I go any further I thought I would ask if anyone has any expertise? Do I need an attorney, etc?

Thanks for your time.

What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

My wife did it on her own with a little help from searching google. A lawyer would be easier if you don’t want to do it yourself. Enforcement is a different issue and gets to be a pain quickly.

I did a couple on my own (though I don't remember how). Don't recall it being too difficult.

I have done a few, and know enough to be dangerous. Email in contact page.

I have a very good attorney that does trademarks and patents for me. I am very glad to talk to you about the process. Send me an email if you want to talk.
