I contemplated filing for bankruptcy for several months. I did my research and read many testimonials from various law firms including those pf Mark’s former clients. I had a good feeling about Mark and made the decision to schedule my appointment for the free 30 minute consulation. By there end of the consultation, I knew I had made the right choice and felt I was in very good hands.
His communication was always clear and easy to understand. I provided Mark with all the requested documentation and completed the required forms. In turn, Mark was able to present my case in the best possible light and we received a successful Discharge of Debtor within six months from the date I retained his services.
Mark is truly a master of his craft.

My initial impression of Kathleen was very positive—she came across as competent, driven, and solution-oriented. I spent months organizing and sourcing all my court paperwork at her request, which was the hard part of the process. However, once I completed this, the experience went downhill quickly.
Her 'team' began giving me the runaround. I reached out over six times to get an appointment, and they canceled multiple times. Despite this, I gave grace, trusting my first impression of Kathleen. After yet another cancellation, they said I would have to wait until the new year to be seen. I requested a date for 2025, booked months in advance, but the appointment came and went without any communication from her office.
I reached out to express my disappointment over the wasted months of effort on a sensitive case not to mention the $800 consult fee, urging Kathleen to do better. Her response was dismissive—claiming her staff said I had new representation (which is false) and that she is not taking 'new' clients. There was not even an apology for the months of wasted time, lack of communication, or the sheer number of follow-ups I had to initiate.
This was a deeply disappointing experience, marked by unprofessionalism and poor taste. I cannot recommend Kathleen based on my experience.

I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional attorney who provided outstanding service in handling my legal contract. From the very beginning, his attentiveness and dedication to my case were evident.
He was consistently on task, ensuring that every detail was meticulously reviewed and addressed. His professionalism and communication skills set him apart.
He kept me informed throughout the entire process, patiently answering all my questions and providing clear explanations.
This level of transparency and support was incredibly reassuring. Ultimately, his hard work and expertise led to a successful outcome, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results.
I highly recommend this attorney to anyone in need of legal assistance. His commitment to achieving the best results for his clients is truly commendable.

Malcolm Wiseman is the most honest lawyer I've ever known and his letters to your opponent blow them out of the water and they can try but they can't break his contracts once they sign. Definitely the most ethical, the kindest and most brilliant lawyers I've ever had.

I can speak from the perspective of having worked for him for nearly 6 years. He is an amazing, hard-working, detail-oriented attorney who will do what it takes to get the best deal for his clients. He has a heart of gold with an extremely generous heart and great sense of humor. He was Harvey Specter and I was Donna. Best boss I've ever had!

I had an incredible experience working with Yuhl Carr LLP after my knee injury at my apartment building. From the very beginning, they handled my case with professionalism, dedication, and genuine care. Their expertise and commitment to justice resulted in a successful outcome for me, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Throughout the process, they kept me informed, explained everything clearly, and ensured I felt supported every step of the way. Their attention to detail and persistence made a huge difference, and I always felt like they truly had my best interests at heart.
If you’re looking for a legal team that is both highly skilled and compassionate, I wholeheartedly recommend Yuhl Carr LLP. They fought for me and delivered excellent results!

I am so grateful that I found Joshua Fabian at Boyd Law to represent me as my lawyer for my restraining order case, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. What stood out to me the most was his kind, warm, and empathetic personality. Dealing with a stressful legal situation and the emotional pain of assault was incredibly difficult, but Joshua’s understanding and compassion made the entire process much more manageable.
Not only is Joshua Fabian a genuinely caring person, but he is also exceptionally intelligent and deeply knowledgeable about the law. I always felt confident that he was working diligently on my behalf and had my back throughout the entire process. Joshua was incredibly thorough and took the time to fully understand every aspect of my case and how to get me justice. He ensured he was well-prepared at every step, which made me feel so relieved, and that I didn't have to worry as much, because he had things handled.
Joshua Fabian at Boyd Law is an excellent family law attorney who is not only skilled but also truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services in this area.

Where do I start. First of all the insurance companies are all liars and crooks. I had no idea my employer literally had no control over my care. My own employer was even disgusted with the way I was treated by the insurance company. Zenith was the insurance company by the way so if you're reading this and you have Zenith as your Worker's Comp. insurance company hire a lawyer right away. I would recommend this group but if they're not for you hire somebody to represent you. Zenith is an organization that should literally not be able to conduct business in California. But luckily I found a group of lawyers you did a fantastic job for me. Things didn't move very slow they did warn me things would be moving slow due to Zenith having a what they called a rigged medical provider network. Which basically means they only allow doctors to work with them who see eye to eye with them. Not beneficial for the injured worker but very beneficial for the profits of the insurance company. So I got very unlucky that my employer was insured by Zenith but did get lucky also that I found an aggressive lawyer like Peter who had the patience and the experience to understand how to deal with them. So thank you Peter I appreciate everything you and your staff did for me.

She is open about the fact that lawyers basically are untouchable by the general population and can do as they please. The legal system is basically extortion and exploitation of those who are most vulnerable. That being said, she knows the system and would make a good advocate... if you can affordher.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Suzanne and working with her for several years. She is bright, experienced, honest and really thinks outside the box. She has helped me with medical legal issues, business negotiations, and other legal issues. If she doesn't have an answer, she will research the question and get back to me with a great explanation, proposed plan of action and a intelligent, cogent response. If you're looking for a great medical legal attorney, call her now before she stops taking new clients. If it's a different legal issue, still call her, as she has a deep drawer of her trusted referral attornies who are equally as great as she, in their fields. THE BEST

Dinah’s dedication to her clients is unmatched—she’s not only thorough and detail-oriented but also genuinely cares about her clients’ well-being. She always kept me informed, was quick to respond to my questions, and handled everything with such precision and grace. I felt completely confident with her in my corner.

I couldn't ask for better counsel when it comes to Antonio. I had a pretty difficult contract that I needed to get through with a new agency I was signing to and Antonio made me feel supported and clear on all of the terms that were presented. He made sure I understood the areas that I had difficulty with and went through all of the fine print along with me. He is amazing at what he does, looks out for his client's best interest and is the only person I trust to work with with on such matters. You won't regret having Antonio on your side and as your legal counsel.

This was my first time ever needing a lawyer and from what I'm being told I lucked out with George. He was recommended to me by a friend of mine who heard my story and thought it was right in George's wheelhouse. It was, George helped me get my license reinstated and got my misdemeanor dismissed all during covid lockdown! He was able to get done what I was trying to do for at least a year in a few months while navigating the new corona virus hurdles placed in front of us all. I'd 100% recommend his services.

Upon running into a few issues with traffic law, Benson was the right person to turn to for consultation and aid in resolving my vehicle troubles.
He is very professional and knowledgeable in the process of handling any situation; and very friendly and trusting so you know you'll end up back on your feet.
On a personal level, he will go out of his way to make sure his clients are well taken care of. Highly recommended.

I rarely ever leave reviews but attorney Sabrina and her team are worth my time and effort.
Needless to say, it was our first experience dealing with an attorney where we were not left in the dark and where we didn't have to reach out first with frustration.
We were surprised how quickly and smoothly things were taken care of and communicated. Not only that, Sabrina contacted us to see how we were recovering from the accident. Now that was a surprise because she actually cared!!
Working with Sabrina and her team was easy and that's what we needed. Thank you all!

If I could give zero stars, I would. This attorney is, without question, the most unprofessional and incompetent individual I've ever worked with. Not only did she completely mishandle our immigration cases, but she also demonstrated an alarming lack of knowledge and expertise at every turn. She charged us exorbitant fees while delivering absolutely no results--just empty promises and excuses.
When we started questioning her work and requested a refund for her failures, she blatantly ignored us, blocked all communication, and refused to take any responsibility for her actions. What kind of professional behaves this way? If she can't even handle her own business and treat her clients with respect, how can she possibly help anyone else with theirs?
Disappointed but not surprised that other people who have left reviews seem to have experienced the same mistreatment. It's clear that this pattern of incompetence and negligence is not an isolated incident. She has repeatedly proven that she cannot be trusted to handle her clients' legal matters.
This is someone who clearly prioritizes taking money over delivering results or providing any real legal support. Her lack of accountability and ethics is appalling, and I can only hope others avoid falling victim to her greed and deception. If you're considering her services, run--don't walk--in the other direction. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration of dealing with someone who has no business practicing law.

If you are looking for an immigration attorney who will stick by you through thick and thin, will advocate for you, and will ultimately succeed in getting you a green card, Ron Rose is the one. Ron originally represented me in my immigration case when I was company-sponsored and later with my marriage-sponsored case. Some people get lucky and have a relatively hassle-free, smooth immigration experience. I was not one of those people. I was lucky to have Ron fighting for me through years of legal maneuvering. No matter what obstacles the USCIS put it my way, Ron navigated them with professionalism and perseverance. Thanks to Ron, I have a my green card today.

She is incredibly generous, compassionate, and will fight tooth and nail to make sure that no one gets the best of you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I hired Richard to draft a contract for representation for my model and talent agency. He answered my emails in a prompt and timely manner no matter the day of the week or time of day! Richard also answered my questions and was able to translate the 'legalise' into layman's language. He charged me a flat rate and never seemed to be bothered by the number of emails sent or the number of times the contract needed to be altered. I would recommend Richard as an attorney in his area of expertise!

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:
-
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.
