Reviews

I always enjoy working with Dinah, it's rare to find a lawyer who understands the documentary space, fair use and other right issues. She works with filmmakers to make it happen instead of just saying don't or it won't. I consider her part of the creative team, because without her I couldn't make the films I want to make.

Dinah Perez ALWAYS exceeds the threshold of mere professionalism, extending a sense of personal concern toward my legal issues. She is supportive, tough when necessary, extremely knowledgable about entertainment law and passionate about her clients' success. She has helped me on numerous occasions, particularly with writers' contracts and, recently, by negotiating a refund from an online media services company that fell far-short of its claims. She has also advised me on copyright, trademark and licensing issues. I consider Ms. Perez to be a vital member of my team and, without hesitation, recommend her services.

Dinah Perez has been more than an attorney for me. She has been a champion of my work. She really took the time to get to know me and my needs and she understands my needs as an artist. She has handled my legal affairs with great focus and expertise.

Ms. Perez helped me get an option on a play and advised me in ways that have enhanced my knowledgeabilty of the entertainment business ever since. When I need representation, which I will soon, I always ask Ms. Perez to consider representing me first.

Dinah provides compassionate representation. I have known her for 20 years and worked with her in legal and production capacities. She has demonstrated tremendous follow through and loyalty in all our contract reviews. She is strong, responsive and attuned to the nuance of negotiation.

I've worked with Dinah for almost five years and she has been an essential part of my success in the entertainment industry. She has always been committed to helping me reach my goals, protecting me on all matters, and offering excellent advice. There has never been a time when I felt she was just "doing her job". On the contrary, I would say she's always gone above and beyond the call of duty. I can't recommend Dinah enough when it comes to film production, negotiations, contracts, smart thinking and lawyering in general.

She's supportive, but honest. She's also approachable and will advise most in need with reasonable requests. You should have no hesitations.

Dinah Perez is the first one I call when I need a contract reviewed, negotiated or an option put in place. I have worked with Dinah on two book options and a 'for hire' screenwriting contract and her attention to detail is second to none. She has also written some amazing articles on book options which is how I originally found her. You can't do better than Dinah Perez for all your legal needs.

What I like about her is that I can always phone and get answers without being intimidated. She's always happy to respond to my questions and to explain the details of contracts she's reviewed for me. She's also really quick when it comes to turning things around. I spent weeks waiting for contracts from my other lawyers, she's not like that. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, she's a great advocate who knows her stuff. She improves every single deal -- even after it's been negotiated by my agent!
