I must say, hiring Ms. Shania King, as my attorney was the best legal decision I've ever made... And trust me when I tell you this I've had a lot of legal issues that needed excellent legal advice.
Attorney King is beyond exellent!!! Watching her argue my petition to the court was like watching a chess master making their final move for the checkmate! I've had a lot of attorney's in my life time and I believe she is one of the best in the world!
Thank you Attorney King for making the impossible possible!!! My petiton was granted!

I was served with a TPO with a very short time to hire representations for court date. Ms King returned my call within 5 min., met with me within 48 hours, prepared and in court within 72 working hours. Ms King is very passionate to her clients situation. My case came out with a dismissal! Thank you, Ms King

There are good and even excellent criminal defense attorneys in the Kansas City area; however, Kevin is the best. What differentiates him and the Regan Firm are the ability to attack impossible issues with the client's life at the forefront. More than a results lawyer, he is a practitioner. For a family member, loved one, or valued client, the Regan Firm is the first, and really the only, choice. Generally, you get what you pay for when it comes to representation. But those who are experienced and understand know that there are good and then there are great. Kevin and the Regan Firm are great. They achieved the desired result but solved more than just the legal challenge. The practice has a just and compassionate style. This not only provides a solution, and ensures a client's freedom, but creates an opportunity to recover and preserve lives and dignity. That is the most valuable service in the long-term.

Kevin is amazing at handling criminal cases. He knows how to navigate and guide a client to the best outcome of a case. I cannot imagine any other lawyer being as seasoned and able to achieve such high success. I will forever be thankful for picking Kevin to represent me. He saved my life and my son's too in my opinion. I would recommend Kevin to anyone.

Reviews and words are great! Actions and Results are proof. From Mr.Regan to Jennifer and his Son, I always felt like a priority. His knowledge and ability to get the best possible outcome is unmatched. He always kept me in the loop, answered any and all questions promptly and treated me like his own. Mr.Regan saved my life, my sanity, my freedom, and most of all my family. I’m so fortunate to have him in my life. He made the impossible, Possible!!!
Wouldn’t think twice about ever hiring another attorney!

As I was leaving an organization where I had worked as a 1099 contractor for ten years, the owner of the company denied that he owed me compensation that was clearly spelled out in my contract that Mark had written five years previously.
Steve handled this situation with professionalism and thoughtfulness. He laid our my options for the situation and negotiated with the owner's lawyer. He was effective and efficient, and he ended up recovering not only the compensation that was owed to me but also enough to cover my lawyer's fees.
I very much appreciated how Steve handled my case even though it was a very small job that lasted less than three months.
Hopefully, I won't find myself in a similar situation, but if I do, I will be hiring Steve and Bracepoint Law to help me out.

Working with Hillary Johns was nothing short of stellar, I found her services through lawyers.com, and from our first phone call, I knew I would be covered. I had a contract regarding a film option and during my experience with her, she was very professional and determined to ensure her client was protected, which was a lifesaver while doing business in a field as notorious as entertainment. She is incredibly generous, compassionate, and will fight tooth and nail to make sure that no one gets the best of you. I cannot thank Hillary enough for all the help she has provided me and I have no doubt if you are in need of legal services she is your best bet of making sure you feel protected and confident in whatever legal problems you may face.

Mr. Shaffie helped us navigate a delicate situation regarding our child and our home.

I was involved (starting in 2004) in a probate case with another lawyer.
I spent the next 5 years trying to get him to be a lawyer. He was very incompetent and the experience was horrible.
I needed someone to help me out of the mess the other lawyer created.
And it was a mess and complicated by this time.
I found Eric Gordon by a referral, and from that day my entire case began to look like something that We could resolve.
Eric shared with me all the unethical actions of the other lawyer.
Once he took on my case it all came together in MY favor.
Eric walked with me through the legal system steps and all that he needed to do so that I always knew what was going on. Huge for me since the other lawyer was impossible to get return calls and emails from.
Besides his total professionalism, Eric was available to me on every level. I felt watched out for and cared about as a real human being.
He goes the extra mile to do what is necessary . A rare trait these days.
Not only is the whole case finally behind me, I was also, with Erics
help awarded a settlement!!
If I ever need a lawyer again, I only wish It could be Eric Gordon.

By their very nature family disputes are disruptive and emotionally taxing. Eric Gordon has created a professional relationship built on trust and confidence as well as effectively and economically representing me in the resolution of custody and support issues.
Mr. Gordon is extremely mindful of the long-term effects of marital dissolution and how the children and myself are affected. He has constructively advised me on countless preventive actions as well as applying a holistic approach to counseling me throughout this taxing process.
Mr. Gordon has worked closely with my accountant and financial advisor. He has provided a depth of knowledge in all ancillary issues arising from the dissolution of my marriage, including the complicated division of income properties as well as navigating complex tax and estate planning consequences.
We are going on a year and a half together through this process and it's not over yet. I am extremely grateful to have Eric Gordon on my team.

Eric had a very "neutralizing" effect on a stressful situation. His expertise in the field of family law and his calm demeanor most likely kept me from being the lead story on the Eleven O'Clock News. His tenacity and extreme advocacy for his clients makes him a diamond in the rough. I highly recommend Eric Gordon.

Mr. Witkin went above and beyond helping me understand and modify an agreement for my work as a freelance music producer. He took the time to educate me on parts of the agreement I didn't understand, as well as share his expertise as an entertainment attorney. I especially appreciated how Mr. Witkin was able to work quickly, as I was on a tight timeline and needed to sign document as soon as possible. I would definitely recommend Mr. Witkin and look forward to hiring him in the future.

I had an opened case for over 25 years in Los Angeles, CA. that was preventing me into getting my U.S citizenship. Jason was capable of finding my case while I was located in Florida.

Mr. Jason Coker represented my case for an outstanding bench warrant that was very concerning to me. There was a real possibility I could have been remanded into custody and have to post bail. Jason was very conscientious and gave me careful instruction on how to proceed with the matter. He then went before the judge on my behalf and deftly dealt with the case, and got me the result I wanted. I was not taken into custody and only had to pay the fine I owed the court. I strongly recommend Jason to anyone who needs the services of a criminal lawyer.

I got my first DUI, and had no clue what to do. Not only was Jason Coker completely capable of handling my situation, but he also made me feel comfortable and more secure about my situation. I was charged with my first DUI with a .1 reading on the breathalyzer at the scene. My situation looked bad, but through it all Jason got my case down to a wet reckless and even struck a deal where I didn't get a breathalyzer put in my car. He is a highly qualified lawyer and a great guy. I'd recommend him to anybody.

This is the second time I used this law firm. They are fantastic! They represented me during the sale of my house. My attorney, Hiba Touma, and her team were very attentive, professional and answered all of questions immediately. Even when things got stressful for me (because I was selling and buying at the same time), they calmed me down and took care of everything. I can’t thank them enough for making this process effortless! I highly recommend this firm for anyone looking for an attorney that is knowledgeable and will also treat you as a priority!

My experience was phenomenal! Our company's former lawyer ran into legal issues which required our company to part ways and search for a new entertainment lawyer.

I am producing a short film for the festival circuit. Nicole Sotto made it possible for me to secure a film location by writing up a contract/agreement between the owners of the facility and me. She made it an easy process because all she needed from me was to answer a few questions about the project. I gave her the info and within days I had the contract. She is helpful, intelligent, and anticipates your needs. She helps explain things in a way that makes you feel like you have a better understanding of your legal matter. If you’re looking for a no fuss, timely, and efficient entertainment attorney, you want to work with her!

I reached out to Zach who was Reccomnded though someone at Harvard law criminal justice department.
I spoke to several other attorneys as well as Zach. Zach stands out compared to the 4 other attorneys I had consultations with.
I called and he got back to me within the hour. I had a phone consultation with him about my case.
He went above and beyond with out being asked.
In our consult, and for several days following Zach continued to give me information I had never been presented before that could be the difference between winning and losing a case. This is all based on Zach’s experience, knowledge and research. He took the time and went far beyond the expectations of a consultation.
He presented it from both sides and was able to play devils advocate well.
Alone on his consult, I would highly Reccomnded Zach. There are many attorneys out there but there are few that put in the time and effort as Zach does.

I hired Mr. Stone off the recommendation from a friend. In the process of trying to recover my wrongfully withheld security deposit from my former landlord, I was countersued and subsequently lost in small claims court. After Mr. Stone reviewed my case, he gathered evidence in my favor through various legal routes that I would have been unable to myself. We then filed an appeal which was heard in a higher court. My landlord settled days before the trial and dropped his countersuit. Additionally, he returned my full security deposit and paid all my lawyer fees, including other accrued charges in the legal process. Mr. Stone put a tremendous amount of effort and time into my case and I would trust him with any other legal issues that would require an honest, experienced lawyer.

Being a single mother of two with a grandbaby and never being in this situation before I felt hopeless, until I went online and seen this site and chose to try Mr Stone he answered we started to talk about my situation and from then on we never lost contact. Mr Stone made sure I was informed every step of the way. With his knowledge and firmness displayed to this slum lord it was without a doubt he was representing me and to the fullest. After all was said and done my results were a wrongful eviction WON also my deposit and court fees PAID IN FULL. Where this landlord took away from me believing that good people no longer exsist Mr Stone restored. I really appreciate all the work he did to represent me and the stress he took off my family. If your in need of a professional to represent you with a great soul look no more Mr Stone is you guy. Again Mr Stone THANK YOU.

There are some other reviews here mentioning that Roman is a genius, and I have to echo that statement. I engaged Roman as a start-up founder for a complicated contract issue against a seasoned publicly traded company. Main points in my experience:
Roman is an exceptional/creative business and legal advisor. He really is much above average in his capabilities and understanding as an attorney. I’ve had a number of attorneys look at my contract before (a 6 figures contract drafted by the most expensive legal firm in my state). He was able to thoroughly yet quickly dissect and capture the landmines that bypassed numerous other attorneys.
Roman will look out for your best interest. He truly cares about his clients, and every moment charged produced value.
Roman is extremely honest. That being said, he will tell you the harsh realities of your situation and work with you to find out the solutions.
Roman is not just a spectacular attorney, but he is a valuable advisor that you would want along your entrepreneurial journey. He is also a great individual to work with, and I wished I found him much sooner in my career.

Besides being a very friendly and genuinely nice person, he has an extremely sharp mind, grasps the issues immediately, and due to his years of experience in all phases of law, knows exactly what course of action to take. He is also highly respected in the community and very well connected with centers of influence and members of the court and judicial system as well as numerous other lawyers with whom he can concur if need be.

I own a digital media agency for a couple of years now and I been into many different business ventures prior. With that said, Ron has been by my side for all those business ventures. He pays attention to detail with every meeting and answers any question you have for him. His knowledge excels more than any lawyer I've encountered with but what I like most about him is the relationship we built over the years. Overall, I would recommend anyone on using him, and he will go above and beyond to help you.

I came to Ron for help when I ran into problems writing my first book. It was a biography of a Hollywood actress and I needed legal advice to protect myself and to ensure that all necessary permissions were secured. From the start, I found Ron to be completely professional and totally knowledgeable about the entertainment business. I felt that he took my case very seriously and did not consider my dilemma to be frivolous, which was a fear of mine going into this. He was always extremely supportive and encouraging. He was EXACTLY what I needed. It did not take me long to realize that I actually had better representation than the actress I was writing about! While I did not achieve all of the goals I was hoping for, that was more a reflection on others than on the efforts of Mr. Bienstock and his team. The bottom line is this: my book is published and I am extremely grateful for that. I do not think I could have accomplished what I did without the guidance of Ron Bienstock.

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.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
