Ms. Williams helped me with my first-time nursing application. I had several arrests from my past and no idea how to explain this to the board of nursing in a way that would not have my application denied or delayed. Ms. Williams put together my explanation letter perfectly. I was given my ATT and official license after passing NCLEX with no delays or stipulations. Ms. Williams's whole team was amazing throughout my process and available for any questions or concerns I had. I can't thank them enough.

I had the privilege of working with Foster Law Firm for both criminal and family law matters, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service they provided. Janee Hawkins, ESG, and the entire team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise throughout the entire process. What stood out to me the most was their fantastic and timely communication. Janee was always readily available to address any issues, even immediately following court sessions, and her prompt responses put me at ease during a very stressful time. The entire team was honest, transparent, and dedicated to ensuring I fully understood each step of the legal process. I highly recommend Foster Law Firm to anyone seeking legal assistance in Atlanta. Their professionalism, commitment to their clients, and attention to detail are second to none. If you're looking for reliable, experienced legal representation, this is the firm to trust.

I engaged Mark in my capacity as an exec at a growing online business and he represented our interests exceptionally well. Mark is an attentive listener, sharp thinker, and is easy to work with, but most importantly he achieved a great outcome for us. Mark is a sophisticated attorney and clearly has a strong command of the law, but it doesn’t come at the expense of clarity. He has a knack for explaining legal concepts in concise terms that are easy to follow. His guidance and communication filled me and my counterparts with confidence that we were in good hands as we navigated a tricky and ambiguous issue. He proved to be an efficient executor and was very fair with his billing (a rare find in a capable attorney, from my experience!) Every touch-point with Mark and his firm was frictionless and easy. Mark will be our go-to guy for business needs, and someone I’d hire for personal matters as well. He’s a good one.

Vickie Sadler is a Woman of Character and Integrity Following an accident involving a SUV and 18 Wheel Dump Truck on an Interstate my husband and I were both simply glad to be alive. We were not interested in a settlement just our medical bills, item replacement and reimbursement for the expenses associated with the event to which we were traveling as I was driving a company vehicle. We felt that this was something we could handle ourselves with the two other insurance companies involved but after relentless and wise counsel from leaders in my company we sought out our own counsel. We had no intention of receiving money we were not entitled to and Vickie Sadler assured us that she understood and would work at the highest level of integrity on our behalf. We closed our settlement in May with all of the appropriate funds being received, with clear consciences and an intense level of regard, trust and appreciation for Vickie Sadler.

Another terrible experience, but I came back to Raina law office and she did what she always do, made sure my family and I was in good hands, with all of my therapy and appointments. Raina is very informative, helpful, and my experience will forever be a 10/10. Thank you again!… Highly Recommend Law Office for your car accidents.

I am so grateful that I found Attorney Raina Spencer on social media! I was in an accident and didn’t know which direction to go in order to pursue filing a lawsuit for my bodily injuries! I came across her profile and knew immediately after reviewing a few posts that she was the one that I wanted to work with. She was very knowledgeable, she gave so much information in her posts, and I could tell that her personality and attitude would be a good fit for me! Working with her was flawless. She kept me updated on my case, and was available any time I reached out to her or had a question! Her assistants were amazing as well. They kept me informed throughout the whole process. Her prompt attentiveness and hard work resulted in my case settling pretty fast! I settled and walked away with what I feel was a great and fair amount! I would recommend her to represent anyone with bodily injuries! I am so satisfied with my case, and it was a pleasure working with her, and her firm!

Followed all his recommendations and after serving the so called mental rehab facility with a formal petition to discharge my husband on a Friday at 455 pm and multiple hours of patiently waiting for my motion to be received by an employee that never gave it to him.. Guess what happened?? The same medical staff that said to my husband that petition won’t do anything called me the very next day at 9am stating that my husband was going to be discharged in a couple of minutes.. FOLLOW ALL HIS RECOMMENDATIONS! Yes the motion was one of the recommendations but some other magical touches expedited everything but I will let him share that with you as he knows what he’s doing and will definitely provide you with the best advice.

I would highly recommend attorney Sasan and the Nemat Law team as I reached out to him to help with a complex landlord situation, and they handled it with exceptional professionalism and care. From the moment I contacted them, they acted swiftly on the same day, ensuring that everything was addressed in a timely manner. Their deep knowledge of landlord-tenant laws was evident throughout the process, and they explained every step in clear, understandable terms. What really stood out was their patience and understanding. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and guide me toward the best possible outcome.

I got a pretty bad speeding ticket because I was late going to my pregnant wife’s appointment to meet the specialist because she had a high risk pregnancy. The ticket I received was also a super speeder. My job requires that I have a clean record. I hired Kevin and he was able to help me get a great outcome. No points, no reporting to my MVR, this helps SO much because I work and drive a company vehicle for an insurance company. Kevin made the process very easy and seamless. Out of FOUR lawyers that I contacted, Kevin was the only one who was responsive, he was up front about his pricing and steps that I would need to take going forward. Most lawyers are lazy but not Kevin. I would hire Kevin again if ever needed his services! Thanks for the hard work Kevin!

I have had the fortunate and unfortunate pleasure of working with SWTW, and more specifically Andrea Pawlak and Kevin Ward, both of which I can not speak highly enough about. I have been through the worst of life experiences and can honestly say that without their friendship and guidance I would be in a much different position. Andrea is by far the most prepared, educated, dedicated and passionate attorney that I have been exposed to. The single greatest attribute that stands above the rest is her ability to manage a client through what is seemingly their worst moments in life such as a child's death and/or a contentious divorce. Andrea brings a level of personal connection to the engagement and truly cares about the well being of her clients, not just the outcome! She knows the case inside and out and is so well prepared to provide her clients with the necessary information to make educated decisions. A lawyers job is not to make choices on custody as mentioned in a review below, that is the clients decision, your attorney should be a trusted ally that provides you with legal informed decision making options and aligns with your morals, values and ethics, I could not recommend Andrea and SWTW more because of this reason.

I used Fisher and Phillips (Boston office) for a US business visa from the U.K. Brian Coughlin was my lawyer (whom I knew previously) along with his team: Casandra and Tatiana , who worked on the application. They provided a flawless service. The initial Consultation, scope of the work, the transparency of the fees and payment schedule along with the actual application and supporting documentation itself was great. I can’t speak on the company as a whole or the other offices but I was very impressed by Brian and his team , they represent the firm well. Thank you for the service, I’ll be recommending to friends and family for immigration and business related legal work. ⭐️

It has truly been a pleasure working with Mr. Forrest K. Clinard for the past 6 years. I found his information on "Avvo" in 2015. After looking through numerous entertainment attorneys on this site, I just kept coming back to his profile and reading all the wonderful comments from clients who have worked with him. When we connected by phone and I explained my legal matters, I knew from the first phone call, that there was no need for me to search any further for an entertainment attorney. Over the years, I've learned so much terms used in the entertainment industry like option rights, life rights, option period, purchase agreement contracts, etc. Forrest's wealth of knowledge and years of experience in the industry gave me the fuel to start my production company. This year we gained the attention of a well known production company in Hollywood, with a story that I've been developing. Forrest was exceptional in guiding me through the process once the project got sold, as he made sure all the necessary paperwork was in place, thoroughly reviewing each document with me and making sure I had a good understanding of these contracts before signing them. Forrest is a true professional in the business, compassionate, honest, trustworthy and just a good hearted individual who puts the needs of his clients first and at the end of the day he gets the job done. I wish this site gave " 10 stars or more, because he would be so deserving of each one! I'm so blessed to have listened to my intuition when choosing him to represent me and I know that we will be working together for many years to come. Forrest is simply the BEST !!!

I would recommend these attorneys to any of my family and friends. They were very knowledgeable and fought for me even when I had a citation against me. The police officers found me at fault and gave me a ticket even though I was innocent. No lawyers would take my case because I had received the citation, and I had just about given up on the case but these attorneys picked up the case, fought hard, took it all the way to trial and delivered me a WIN!

I was facing an incredibly stressful and life-altering situation after being falsely accused of a felony for criminal trespass, despite not having trespassed at all. From the very first consultation, Joe Habachy stood out as a beacon of hope. He was confident, professional, and reassured me that we could get the case dismissed. His confidence was not just words—he delivered. Throughout the entire process, Joe kept me thoroughly informed, explaining each step and making sure I understood all the legal jargon that came my way. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small or how often they came up. His dedication to my case was evident; he worked tirelessly to ensure that justice was served. When the day finally came, Joe secured the dismissal of all charges against me. The relief I felt was indescribable. Joe not only defended my innocence but also restored my peace of mind. If you need a criminal defense attorney who is not only skilled and knowledgeable but also deeply committed to their clients, I cannot recommend Joe Habachy highly enough.

Weeks before graduation, our daughter—a high school senior, scholar-athlete, and honor roll student—and her friends were arrested for a senior prank that went wrong. They accidentally targeted the wrong house with toilet paper and chalk, leading the homeowner to falsely allege exaggerated charges and damages, which triggered a full police response. This resulted in felony criminal damage charges in a county known for severe penalties on minor offenses. Facing the potential of not being able to walk at graduation and significant disruption to her college plans at a top university due to a lengthy court process, we (along with several of the other families) turned to Joe Habachy. He acted swiftly, working with the district attorney to expedite the process and resolve the case with a dismissal of all charges and an expungement of our daughter's record.

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.
