Owen Seitel is an outstanding intellectual property law and entertainment attorney. He is responsive, thorough, creative and collegial with others. He is caring, responsive, thoughtful and knowledgeable across a broad range of entertainment and intellectual property law issues, able to foster agreement among parties with vastly different goals and concerns and always mindful of bottom-line business practicality. I have been using Owen for well over a decade as counsel for all of my activities as a screenwriter, director and producer of feature-length films for both independent features and studio deals with Warner Brothers, 21st Century Fox, etc. He has always provided valuable advice, and, when necessary, aggressive representation, in my activities in the entertainment industry. Owen has been and will continue to be a trusted advisor.

I spoke with Owen Seitel about various legal issues. I found him to be concerned, knowledgable and we fully discussed how to proceed. I was impressed with his total grasp of my situation and would recommend him without reservation

I would never recommend Owen Seitel as Entertainment Attorney. While he give fantastic advice on the initial formation of a company and the traditional dues and don't he's has trouble with listening. I had the feeling that since I'm not an attorney he feels he knows all the answers and all I'm good for is questions. Owen Seitel replies very quickly with an uninformed decision. Without truly listening to your situation, he goes on a rambling binge that covers useless topics. And guess why that is TERRIBLE for you... yup, you guessed it, you'll be charged $395/hour to listen to him talk about a host of issues that do NOT pertain to your current situation. e.g. Owen SeiteI sent me two long detailed emails informing me to send him my LLC operating agreements so he can then obtain my Federal I.D. # and establish separate bank accounts. He told me the bank accounts should be separate so that the funds wouldn't " bleed into " one another. What frustrated me is that I ALREADY formed two separate bank accounts and had he LISTENED to me he wouldn't have spent his time/my money typing an unnecessary email. He then sent me another email asking me to authorize payment for minute books but had he been listening I already HAVE minute books for both companies. I had to Donald Trump (YOU'RE FIRED) Mr. Seitel and search for another Attorney who knows how to listen before replying. I hope you found this information useful.
