I turned to the Law Office of Ronald D. Weiss, P.C. for assistance when I was drowning in debt and unable to see a way out. Their debt and credit resolution services provided me with a lifeline.

If you’re going through a divorce, don’t try to handle it alone. I made that mistake at first, and it was a nightmare. Then I found Gordon Law, P.C., and everything changed. Steven took over my case and helped me with my contested divorce against my narcisstic spouse. He was honest about what to expect and didn’t make any false promises. He fought fought for me like a pitbull. Even though the process was still tough, having a an experience and tough divorce lawyer like Steven on my side made all the difference. Don’t wait too long to get help like I did. Highly recommended.

Within my 13 years in the US I had dealt with many lawyers, including criminal, immigration and this time IP. I was hesitant to hire a woman because I tend to think that male attorneys do a better job. I decided to give it a try and I cannot be happier with my choice.
Elena is a top notch lawyer and she delivered prompt responses on questions I had and provided me services I requested from her.
She was also not pushy about payments and I thank her for the trust to a new client as my matter was somewhat urgent.
I hope I will not have to hire Elena again to the issues I had before with those scam providers I dealt with, but I hope to hire Elena for my other matters such as creating contracts and advising me with other things.

As someone who needed assistance with a complex copyright issue, I had the pleasure of working with Elena Gurevich, an outstanding copyright lawyer in NYC. I am thrilled to share my experience with her, as she went above and beyond to provide excellent legal service.
From the moment I first reached out to her, Elena demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and responsiveness. She was prompt in answering my inquiries and took the time to carefully listen to my concerns. Elena's communication skills are truly remarkable, as she made sure I understood the legal process every step of the way.
Her expertise in copyright law was evident from our initial consultation, and her knowledge continued to shine throughout our work together. Elena developed a well-crafted strategy tailored to my specific situation, ensuring that all aspects of my case were thoroughly addressed. She took a proactive approach to my case, diligently preparing all necessary documents and staying ahead of any potential issues.
What stood out the most was how easy it was to work with Elena. Her approachable and friendly demeanor made me feel comfortable, which is essential when dealing with legal matters. She always made sure I was informed and involved, and her dedication to my case was unwavering.
I am extremely grateful to have had Elena Gurevich as my copyright lawyer, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance in this area. With her unparalleled knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to her clients, Elena is undoubtedly the best copyright lawyer in NYC.

My experience with Shapiro Legal Group PLLC WAS GREAT. I must say the representative that called me was very nice and he made me feel comfortable with the whole process and explained in detail how everything went from here. There's no amount of money that could buy out the suffering with headache's and everything else that goes along with the tumor, but the people (same people who made some COVID injections) (Pfizer) let millions of women get the Depo- Provera shot for over a decade while neglecting to label the side affect that it could cause brain tumors. At least they could do is compensate/ Settle out of court with us women who did develop a brain tumor due to their negligence

Long overdue review! Mehdi is truly an amazing lawyer who cares. I had a complicated family court case while simultaneously an ongoing criminal case with my abusive ex. I was in postpartum and it was the beginning of separation. I was very hyper vigilant and probably not the easiest to deal with, but Mehdi fully supported me through both cases. He took my life chaos with stride. He always fought hard for me in the court room. He even advocated for me to the ADA in the separate criminal case pushing the case further than it would have without him. I sometimes had to remember he was my lawyer and not my therapist! He gave me so much advice and honestly strength. Sharing a child with an abuser is no fun. We did get everything we asked for in Family Court which was such a relief. It wouldn’t have happened with any other lawyer, only Mehdi. I truly believe that. After Family Court ended he contacted me to check in and show support. He has worked with many women who have experienced DV so he gets it. Hopefully we don’t end up back in Family Court, but if we do He’s our GoTO… If he will have us again. Ha. Ha. We love you Mehdi!

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. After an extensive search for a new lawyer in New York Nicole Sotto and the entire Sottto Legal team quickly picked up where our former lawyer left off. Sotto Legal is extremely knowledgable, professional, responsive, courteous, and detailed. I highly recommend Sotto Legal!

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!

He spent a lot of time with me, helping me work through my case, even though I couldn't express myself clearly. It was a great experience working with him and his team from start to finish. They truly had a solid game plan, and the prices were more than reasonable compared to others.

Monroe Mann was an absolute lifesaver when it came to helping me start my business. From the very beginning, he guided me through the process of creating my business, setting up my LLC, filing all necessary paperwork, and even setting up my business banking information.

Made a free 3PM consultation appointment that was sent to voicemail due to another unrecognized number dialing in at the same time. By 3:04, after hearing the message left from the firm, I promptly called speaking to someone who sent my request on, and emailed the man who originally scheduled the intake. Days later, not a word.
Writing the review for those looking for a law firm that doesn't treat you like another number, clearly they moved in to the next caller, regardless of preparing notes, and blocking off the later afternoon. It's an amateur mistake that dissuades any confidence despite the other reviews

I am a former entertainment and intellectual property lawyer who left practice over 20 years ago to run global entertainment businesses. I have worked closely with Laverne Berry over the past 25 years as both a colleague and client on a wide range of complex and innovative issues. She is always extremely well-informed on the latest developments in the field, creative in solving problems and responsive in emergencies. She has very strong negotiating skills and always looks for solutions for all parties in a deal or project. In addition, through her ongoing active involvement in a range of professional organizations, such as her role as President of NY Women in Film and Television, she has built up a strong network of other lawyers to support her clients and supplement her own expertise.

Ms Tamburrino is represented me in a personally painful bankruptcy filing. Upon our first meeting, she explained the process with professionalism and compassion. She has consistently responded quickly to my questions and concerns and has followed up with unanticipated issues that have arisen. She has made a dreadful situation less painful and continues to keep me informed.
If you are thinking about the option of bankruptcy, I do recommend that you consider speaking with Stacy. It took me many, many months - and many sleepless nights - before I took the first step. Looking back, the process was less painful because of solid representation. Looking forward, things become under control and the rebuilding begins!

I recently hired Mr. Palmateer in a Federal trademark dispute case in which I was the defendant. First of all, Lee is very personable and an excellent communicator, which I have found to be qualities lacking in some attorneys. He is diligent about returning phone calls and e-mails and is scrupulously honest in his billing practices. He is, in short, a credit to the legal profession.
But don't let Lee's unassuming demeanor fool you, he excels as a litigator. In fact, he is a litigator of uncommon ability and judgment. I have found him to be tenacious in pursuit of his client's best interests, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to someone in need of a seasoned intellectual property attorney. I credit his expertise and hard work for the amicable end to my case.

I had been sitting on my business trademark for years knowing I need to secure an official trademark but clueless on where to start. I was seriously considering using an online legal filling service but very uncomfortable with the unknowns and completely overwhelmed by the process knowing there was much more that had to be considered. A colleague recommended I contact Lee. It was the best move I could have made. I called his office and he got back to me immediately. He listened very carefully and answered all of my questions to complete satisfaction. In all of our conversations I felt like we were communicating as equals. There was no condescension whatsoever. All of the fees were presented in detail and I completely trust his judgement.
He is timely with any follow up issues and clear about deadlines and the consequences in regard to my application for not meeting them. I highly recommend Lee Palmateer and look forward to working with him in the future.

As a professional photographer in New York, I found myself in a situation where I needed the representation of a lawyer in a copyright infringement matter I brought up with a major company. I came across Bruce Colfin at The Firm and gave him a call. I was left with a good impression from my initial consultation but wanted to look into some others before hiring. After calling and speaking with several other lawyers I decided to go with Bruce.
He was personable and down-to-earth as well as straight forward and professional. He kept me informed throughout the case and advised me of all options along the way.
We settled the matter quickly and with a favorable outcome, and in addition his fee was very reasonable with no "surprises" during or at the end of the case.
I highly recommend Bruce Colfin

What a Copyright Lawyer Can Do for You
A copyright lawyer specializes in helping individuals and businesses protect their creative works by navigating the complexities of copyright law. They assist with registering copyrights, enforcing rights against infringement, drafting licensing agreements, and advising on the fair use of copyrighted material. Whether you're an author, artist, musician, software developer, or content creator, a copyright lawyer can help ensure your intellectual property is legally protected and monetized appropriately.
When Should I Hire a Copyright Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a copyright lawyer in the following situations:
- Registering a copyright: While copyright protection exists upon the creation of an original work, registering your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office provides legal advantages, such as the ability to file a lawsuit for infringement and eligibility for statutory damages and attorney's fees.
- Enforcing your rights: If someone is using your work without permission, a lawyer can help you enforce your rights by sending cease and desist letters, negotiating settlements, or filing infringement lawsuits.
- Defending against infringement claims: If you're accused of infringing someone else's copyright, a lawyer can defend you by assessing the validity of the claim and representing you in negotiations or court proceedings.
- Drafting and reviewing contracts: When creating licensing agreements, work-for-hire agreements, or transferring ownership of a copyright, a lawyer can ensure the terms are legally sound and protect your interests.
- Fair use assessment: If you plan to use copyrighted material under the fair use doctrine, a lawyer can evaluate the risks and advise on compliance to prevent potential legal issues.
- International copyright concerns: If you need to protect your work internationally, a lawyer can guide you through the process of securing rights in other countries and navigating international treaties.
What Does a Copyright Lawyer Do?
A copyright lawyer provides a range of legal services related to the creation, protection, and enforcement of copyrighted works:
- Copyright registration: Assist in preparing and filing applications with the U.S. Copyright Office, ensuring all legal requirements are met for successful registration.
- Legal advice on protection strategies: Offer guidance on how to safeguard your work, including the best practices for documentation and disclosure.
- Drafting and negotiating agreements: Prepare contracts such as licensing agreements, assignments, and work-for-hire agreements to monetize your work while protecting your rights.
- Enforcement actions: Take legal steps against infringers, including sending cease and desist letters, negotiating settlements, and litigating infringement cases.
- Defense against infringement claims: Represent you if accused of infringement, developing defense strategies and handling negotiations or court proceedings.
- Fair use evaluation: Analyze whether your intended use of copyrighted material qualifies as fair use under the law, reducing the risk of infringement.
- International protection: Advise on securing copyright protection abroad and complying with international intellectual property laws and treaties.
How Are Copyright Lawyers Paid?
Copyright lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:
- Hourly rate: Many lawyers bill by the hour, with rates ranging from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
- Flat fee: For straightforward tasks like filing a copyright application or drafting a simple contract, some lawyers offer flat fees, which provide cost predictability.
- Retainer: For ongoing services, a lawyer may require a retainer - a lump sum deposited in advance - against which hourly fees are charged.
- Contingency fee: In some infringement cases, especially those involving significant damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, receiving a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or judgment.
It's important to discuss payment arrangements upfront to understand the total cost and billing practices.
How Much Does a Copyright Lawyer Cost?

Infringement matters:
- Cease and desist letters: Sending a letter may cost between $500 and $1,500.
- Negotiations and settlements: Legal fees can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more.

To make the most of your initial meeting with a copyright lawyer, bring the following:
- Descriptions of your work: Provide detailed descriptions or copies of the work you wish to protect, such as manuscripts, recordings, software code, or artwork.
- Evidence of creation: Documentation that proves when and how you created the work, such as drafts, timestamps, or metadata.
- Existing agreements: Any contracts, licensing agreements, or previous registrations related to your work.
- Infringement evidence (if applicable): If someone is infringing your copyright, bring evidence like copies of the infringing material, URLs, screenshots, or witness statements.
- Questions and concerns: Prepare a list of questions about your rights, the registration process, enforcement options, and any potential legal risks.
- Goals and objectives: Be clear about what you hope to achieve, whether it's registering your work, licensing it, or taking action against an infringer.
By coming prepared, you enable the lawyer to provide accurate advice and develop an effective legal strategy tailored to your needs.
