Tom provided me with invaluable help in navigating the legalities of my first nurse practitioner contract. His expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. His clear communication made what could have been an overwhelming experience far more manageable. I highly recommend Meridian Law to anyone needing employment contract review.

Prior to meeting Angelica, I thought financial advisors ONLY worked with the rich and the famous! I thought they ONLY cared about maintaining the wealth in certain families and thus were out of reach and quite frankly out of touch with the working class. Angelica obliterated that notion during our very first interaction by passionately describing her desire to continuously partner with & build generational wealth in marginalized groups. Working with Angelica has been an absolute game-changer for my financial well-being. From day one, she took the time to understand my unique situation and long-term goals, crafting a tailored strategy that fits my needs. What I appreciate most about Angelica is her ability to make me feel empowered and in control of my finances—no question is too small, and she always takes the time to explain things thoroughly. She has the wonderful gift of breaking down seemingly complex processes to elementary levels. This can also be seen in her multiple interviews available online. Beyond her expertise; her genuine care and dedication to her clients make her a standout advisor. I feel more confident about my financial future thanks to Angelica, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, results-driven advisor.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted, dedicated financial partner.

Dane Johnson was referred to me by the Animal Legal Defense Fund. He assisted me with a highly complex horse ownership issue that began with a request for assistance in filing a lien to clean up the ownerships records. The case quickly mushroomed past the original intent and became bogged down with multiple parties involved. It took nearly 10 months to resolve. Throughout this case Dane was compassionate to all parties, professional, timely, accessible, and above all, constantly researching the laws and consulting with colleagues and other specialists in the field of animal law to identify the next best course of action for us, his client. He spent countless hours investigating all the allegations made by various parties to ensure that he had the correct information before proceeding. To assist and aid in our corporate communications, he wrote several summaries of the case along with his recommendations in a version that was simplified for the layman. This extra step was highly appreciated. While we didn’t end up using any of the legal tools such as the original lien, it was because of the work of Dane that this case finally came to closure.

I would like to first to thank David and his team for resolving my case in a professional manner. The case was unique in respect but I felt from past performance and reviews I made the right decision on choosing his firm Dave used his experience and expertise from his days with the Manhattan’s da office as a prosecutor Dave and his team take each case as personal experience knowing what the clients are dealing with and trying to resolve and he is there from start to finish it’s the personal touch that he offers that some of the larger law firms can’t offer His honesty and integrity is also what makes the difference I would have been lost without Dave and his team I consider him a great friend and someone I would highly recommend to anyone that faced similar challenges as I did David is there for the individual and family in law practice and if he can’t handle the case he will work along with you to find a firm to help you he is very dedicated to his career helping people out in legal matters thank you so much for helping me in my case and honest google review from other clients. That helped my decision is find a right attorney as well

I can’t even begin to describe what a fantastic group of people The Perecman Firm has to offer. They have managed to find the best of the best and put them all together in this firm. They have become like family to us. They truly care about you. My husband was injured in a construction accident and after being let go by another prominent firm, The Perecman Firm took on our case and gave us peace of mind. Our attorney, Steven Dorfman, is top-notch and absolutely brilliant. Look no further!! Linda Hirschfeld keeps your case organized and flowing with perfection. So many knowledgeable professionals at this firm and you never have to worry. They will work hard for your best outcome. We love you all at Perecman and we thank you for your hard work on our case.

In the fall of 2015, I suffered a crush injury on a construction site in NYC. I was taken on by what is considered one of the top law firms in the North East. 6 months into my case, they dropped me citing the difficulty in winning my case. The Perecman Firm looked over my case and eagerly took it on. From day 1 they coordinated all of my case needs. All of my follow up doctor visits and Independent Medical Examiner appointments were over seen and documented by their group of experts. Ed Guldi walked my case through the red tape of NYS Workers Comp and Silvana Leone navigated me through the incredibly arduous path of obtaining SSDI like she wrote the code! Every T was crossed and every I was dotted! As for case itself, Steven Dorfman nailed it… not only did he win, his filings and oral arguments resulted in the case receiving summary judgement and I never stepped foot in a courtroom! His work was so convincing and thorough that he left opposing council no alternative than to settle and he over-performed again negotiating a settlement beyond my wildest expectations! Nobody reads law firm reviews unless they are in need of representation, I can tell you with 100% certainty that you will not regret ending your search and just contact Perecman… they without question saved my life by getting me the compensation I deserved and needed and I couldn’t be happier with what they accomplished on my family’s behalf.

If you notice all the real reviews are posting numbers and what they got back and didn’t get back. All the fake reviews are about the same length and sentencing. And none of them are speaking numbers it should be illegal to post fake reviews. These people are the worst.

Peter Garin is an ineffective Child and Family Investigator (CFI) with an aggressive and abusive investigation style. He was court-appointed and began by interviewing my son. The initial meeting was marked by aggressive and abusive questioning. My son and his now ex-wife struggled to agree on parenting issues. Mr. Garin failed to ask probing questions, resorting instead to general inquiries. Each of his interviews lasted between 8 to 25 minutes, while he conducted a lengthy interview with the other party that lasted over 2 hours. He visited our home for only 10 minutes and then left.

Peter Garin is a terrible CFI with an aggressive and abusive investigation style. Although, I was the person who hired him, he spoke to the other party first. Instead of speaking to me about my concerns, my first meeting with him was an aggressive, abusive interrogation where he threatened me with jail time. My 13 year old son had been refusing to engage in parenting time with his father, Mr. Garin immediately blamed me and dismissed my son's mental health records and his therapist's reports of PTSD. When interviewing my son, Mr. Garin told him "it's OK for people to drink and drive as long as they are not under the influence" although we had a specific court order to not consume alcohol during parenting time. My son's father has had open containers of alcohol in his vehicle multiple times with the children in the car. Mr. Garin ignored the alcohol abuse, ignored the mental health aspect of our case, vilified my son's safe parent in his report and never investigated in a neutral way. When I checked his report for bias, using chat GPT, the entire section interviewing myself and my contacts were biased negatively and the entire section interviewing the other party and his contacts were biased positively. I do not recommend him if you are looking for a true unbiased investigation.

Worst most unethical attorney I have had the displeasure to have been associated with. He was my former wife's first attorney (until she fired him). Does the typical dance that unethical family law attorneys do which is to try to create chaos and havoc and hatred. We were attempting to have an amicable divorce but he did everything in his power (lying, restraining order) to cause a war. He even, get this as this is unbelievable, whispered in the ear of my attorney, "should we get them to sell the property." I overheard this in the hall of the courthouse. It was well discussed that the mutually owned property was going to be put in a trust for our son. He even admitted that he makes more money litigating. Word of caution, with his smooth talking and accent he can be convincing but don't believe a word he says. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I was in an accident and was referred to this law firm by a family member who had a good experience with this office. I can happily say the same. Any time I had a question or needed medical advice or help, they answered promptly and made sure I was taken care of. For me, it was more about getting my injuries fixed and they provided excellent physicians. If there was one I didn’t like, they immediately switched them out until I was happy (only took 1x for that). Overall, David and his team were able to also advocate and get the maximum monetary value for me, as well, which was secondary to what I truly wanted, but a very good surprise. I’m very happy with David and hope I won’t need him again, but would happily be a return customer.

Before I relate the excellent legal representation in a Civil/DV matter I was provided by Mr. Ellis, I think it is important that I first say that aside from the legal issues, I have not met an attorney who so genuinely listened and understood my predicament. As if it was he himself who was facing the legal challenges I presented to him, with all the emergency and dire consequences at his door. The otherside had an attorney. I thought I could represent myself, my case facts and rights were clear cut, then I found myself in front of a judge who clearly allowed WIDE discretion to the oppossing counsel, I was about to get steam rolled not by the facts but by legal precedures. I was granted a 2 day continuance by the judge, barely. Mr. Ellis despite having been hired with only 2 days time to prepare for my case, successfully represented me in court and rescued me from my lack of knowledge about how the system and the the courts can be not the easyest of places to navigate by oneself. Most people instinctively know when an attorney is personally invested in their client, I knew that within the first 10 minutes of meeting Mr. Ellis. Thank you Ryan, for being there when I needed it the most...

I was recommended by a friend of mine to Ryan earlier this year. I set up a consultation, discussed my business issues with him, and got a quote. He was very friendly, expressed his knowledge about my issues, and really knew what he was talking about. The meeting was great and i didnt feel pressured at all, like some of the other attorneys I visited with. Aer meeting with him, I did some research, called around, and found that he was a reputable attorney and respected by his colleagues. I decided to hire Mr. Ellis. He walked. Me through the retainer agreement, took all of the documents I had with me and made copies, and asked me a few other questions regarding issues he brought up (that I didn't even I know I needed to talk about). He told me he would begin immediately and I left the office with a smile on my face. I received an email from Mr. Ellis the next day with a copy of a letter he sent to the people who owed me money. Later that week, I got a call from Mr. Ellis to notify me that my case was settled and and I could either pick up the money I was owed or he could mail a check to me. I have been trying to collect this money owed to me for so long, and it took Ryan around a week. He was always very professional and courteous to me, carried out all of his promises. If any of you out there are looking for an attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Ryan Ellis. He is very knowledgeable, and if I ever need another attorney, I will absolutely be hiring Mr. Ellis again.

He was kind enough to speak to me for free to see if there was anything worth pursuing in my situation. There was and I felt heard and informed. We worked together and he did all the connecting with my company and I got results beyond what I expected. Honestly, even if I had not, I felt working with Ted gave me closure and peace of mind.

What an Entertainment Lawyer Can Do for You

An entertainment lawyer specializes in legal matters related to the entertainment industry, including film, television, music, publishing, sports, and digital media. They assist artists, creators, producers, and companies with contract negotiations, intellectual property protection, licensing deals, royalties, and disputes. Entertainment lawyers also help clients navigate complex industry regulations and ensure their creative rights are protected.

Whether you're an actor, musician, producer, writer, or influencer, an entertainment lawyer can help safeguard your rights and ensure that your business deals are legally sound.

When Should I Hire an Entertainment Lawyer?

You should consider hiring an entertainment lawyer in a variety of situations, including:

  • Contract negotiations: If you're signing a contract for a film role, recording deal, or publishing agreement, an entertainment lawyer can review the terms and negotiate on your behalf to ensure your interests are protected.
  • Intellectual property protection: If you're a creator (musician, writer, filmmaker), an entertainment lawyer can help secure copyrights, trademarks, and licensing agreements to protect your work from unauthorized use.
  • Disputes or litigation: If you’re involved in a legal dispute, such as breach of contract, copyright infringement, or defamation, an entertainment lawyer can represent you in negotiations or court.
  • Representation agreements: If you’re hiring or entering into a contract with a manager, agent, or publicist, a lawyer can ensure that the terms of representation are fair and comply with industry standards.
  • Royalties and licensing: If you're licensing your work for use in film, TV, or digital platforms, a lawyer can negotiate royalty agreements to ensure you receive proper compensation.
  • Talent contracts: Whether you are hiring talent for a project or negotiating your own appearance or performance fees, an entertainment lawyer can ensure the terms are legally binding and beneficial.
  • Film and television production: If you're producing a film, TV show, or other media project, a lawyer can handle contracts with crew, talent, and distributors, and ensure that all legal aspects of the production are covered.

Hiring a lawyer early in your entertainment career or project can prevent costly legal mistakes and protect your creative and financial interests.

What Does an Entertainment Lawyer Do?

An entertainment lawyer provides a range of legal services to professionals in the entertainment industry. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Reviewing and drafting contracts: Entertainment lawyers review, draft, and negotiate contracts for talent, production, licensing, distribution, and endorsements. This ensures that the terms are fair and protect their client's interests.
  • Securing intellectual property rights: They help clients obtain copyrights, trademarks, and patents for their creative works, and assist with licensing those rights to third parties.
  • Negotiating deals: Whether it's a film deal, music contract, publishing agreement, or endorsement, an entertainment lawyer ensures that their client gets favorable terms and is protected from potential legal pitfalls.
  • Handling disputes and litigation: In cases where contract terms are violated, intellectual property is infringed, or other legal issues arise, an entertainment lawyer can represent clients in negotiations, arbitration, or court.
  • Advising on industry regulations: Entertainment lawyers help clients navigate industry-specific laws, such as union regulations, labor laws, or FCC rules for broadcasting.
  • Managing royalties and residuals: They assist in tracking and collecting royalties or residuals for music, film, television, and digital content to ensure clients receive the compensation they are owed.
  • Talent agreements and representation: Entertainment lawyers often work with talent agents and managers, ensuring that their clients' representation agreements are legally sound and financially beneficial.

How Are Entertainment Lawyers Paid?

Entertainment lawyers may be paid in various ways, depending on the type of service provided. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many entertainment lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $250 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fee: For specific legal services, such as drafting a contract or filing a trademark, some lawyers offer flat fees. Flat fees are common in simpler or one-time transactions.
  • Contingency fee: In some cases, especially when working with talent, entertainment lawyers may charge a contingency fee, meaning they take a percentage (usually 5% to 10%) of the client's earnings from a particular project.
  • Retainer: For ongoing legal services, such as managing contracts and royalties over a long period, a lawyer may require a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services, and the lawyer bills against the retainer as they work on the case.

It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer at the outset to ensure you understand the total cost of legal services.

How Much Does an Entertainment Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an entertainment lawyer depends on the complexity of your legal needs, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of fee arrangement. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Entertainment lawyers typically charge between $250 and $1,000 per hour. More experienced lawyers with extensive connections in the entertainment industry may charge higher rates.
  • Flat fees: For simpler services like drafting a basic contract, flat fees can range from $500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the agreement.
  • Contingency fees: Lawyers working on a contingency basis typically charge between 5% and 10% of the earnings from a project or deal. For example, if a lawyer helps you secure a $100,000 film contract, their fee might be $5,000 to $10,000.
  • Retainers: For ongoing legal representation, retainers can range from $2,500 to $50,000 or more, depending on the scope of the legal services and the length of the engagement.

Always discuss the costs and fee structure during your initial consultation to ensure that the services fit within your budget.

Top Questions to Ask an Entertainment Lawyer

Before hiring an entertainment lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they are the right fit for your career or project. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have in entertainment law?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience in your specific area of the entertainment industry, whether it's film, music, television, or digital media.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fee, or contingency fee, and ask for a detailed cost estimate.
  3. Do you have industry connections?
    Ask about the lawyer’s experience and connections in the entertainment industry, which can be valuable for contract negotiations and deal-making.
  4. What contracts or legal issues should I be aware of?
    Ask the lawyer to identify potential legal pitfalls in your specific project or career and how they would help you avoid them.
  5. What intellectual property protections do I need?
    If you’re a creator, ask how the lawyer will help protect your intellectual property rights and prevent others from using your work without permission.
  6. How will you negotiate deals on my behalf?
    Ask about the lawyer’s approach to negotiating contracts, ensuring they focus on getting favorable terms while maintaining strong industry relationships.
  7. What happens if there is a dispute?
    Ask the lawyer how they handle disputes, including whether they aim for negotiation or litigation and how they would protect your interests.

How to Check the Credibility of an Entertainment Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable entertainment lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions against them.
  • Look for entertainment law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in entertainment law and have successfully handled cases or negotiations relevant to your industry.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer, especially in terms of contract negotiations and industry knowledge.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on entertainment-related matters.
  • Check for industry memberships: Membership in entertainment law organizations, such as the Beverly Hills Bar Association Entertainment Law Section, can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to staying up-to-date on industry trends and regulations.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with an entertainment lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Current contracts or agreements: Bring any contracts you have already signed or are considering, such as talent agreements, recording contracts, publishing deals, or management contracts.
  • Intellectual property portfolio: Provide details about any copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property you own or are seeking to protect.
  • Project details: If you’re working on a specific project (e.g., film, album, book), provide a summary of the project, your role, and any legal needs, such as contract negotiations or copyright protection.
  • List of collaborators or stakeholders: Provide information about other parties involved in your project, such as agents, managers, producers, or distributors, and any contracts related to them.
  • Questions about your legal needs: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, potential issues, and how the lawyer can help you protect your interests.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your legal needs effectively and provide the best possible advice tailored to your entertainment career or project.
