What can I say but the absolute best about Freeman Injury Law! I was injured and had to go through a lot including surgery. Carl was the BEST attorney I could ever ask for. Jill was amazing. Really the whole team from front desk to the nitty gritty was the best decision I could have made. They got me the compensation I was owed and helped me to pay for the medical bills I required to be normal again. and then some! Friendly, kind, knowledgeable, aggressive and made sure I was comfortable and included every step of the way. Thank God for them. Call Freeman Injury Law! They are THE ones! Carl Wald and Jill Ross have been my saving grace. I can say that today, with the help of their team, i feel whole again and have my life and health to show for it! They stuck by me for about 3 years through this process while I healed and continued my treatments. Don't be a helpless victim. I'm glad I wasn't!

I was involved in a business contract lawsuit. Corneal Law Firm came highly recommended by a friend, who is a trial lawyer. Seth and Alex took my case, explained to me in common sense the plan, and had my case dropped very quickly. While their rates are very reasonable, you will get top-notch contract lawyers who will help you with your contract issues. I definitely recommend this firm!

When working with an attorney I look for someone who is knowledgeable, takes the time to understand what is required of him or her, responds to my inquiries and follows through in a timely manner with a quality work product. Greg hits the mark on all accounts and understands the importance of balancing legal issues with getting a deal done.

Greg has represented my daughter's music career for four years. In an industry where it almost becomes impossible to know who you can trust it is such a relief to have Greg there by our sides, navigating us through what to do and what not to do. Greg brings the kind of knowledge that only someone with years of real world experience can bring and the kind of integrity that only a person who really cares can have.

Greg Galloway is a terrible lawyer and a cheat! After charging a $300 consultation fee this man pretty much went on tease me about the possibility of paring up with a company that would help me get my production off the ground for 2 MONTHS only to turn around and tell me the deal fell through. What worst is when I asked if there was anything we could do to move forward, any people he could try to reach out to and talk to he pretty much said "I wish I could..but I can't" PLEASE save your money and DO NOT go to this guy for any legal advise. He's going to take your money, fake care about your project and leave you high and dry.

Outstanding experience from start to finish.
From the support staff to the attorneys, this is a well oiled machine that goes to bat for you and wins.
I was unfortunately in a 2nd accident and based on how Anidjar & Levine handled my 1st accident, I retained them again for the 2nd one.
Not too big and not too small, I recommend Anidjar & Levine as a perfect fit.

I most definitely will recommend anyone to De La Rosa-Monroe Law Firm…
1. Assessing and advising a client on his or her legal rights
2. Educating clients on the task at hand and giving them tools that will help them down the road
3. Family law gives a lawyer a deeper appreciation for their family, and the role the lawyer wants and needs to play in their family.
4. One of the best family lawyers

I had a great experience with this firm. Even though it took me roughly 2 years to complete the attorney's requested documents for my uncontested divorce, they never once made me feel that I was burdening them by asking many questions and taking as long as I did to finalize.
When it came down to the hearing itself, I was clearly informed as to all of the next steps and the process couldn't have been any easier than it was. Thanks again, John & Suzanne!

John is an exceptional attorney who is deeply committed to his clients. His straightforward approach and professionalism are truly commendable.

Would avoid working with this firm if at all possible. They are extremely slow to respond, completely disregard emails, and show a complete lack of empathy or understanding. If you are not consistently following up, you will be hard pressed to receive any type of response. If you do receive a response, it will be short and often times not even answer your questions. It consistently felt like we had to chase them down for the most simple requests. Go elsewhere if you have the option.

As a real estate agent, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many title companies, and Dawson Title truly stands out. Their team is exceptionally knowledgeable and professional, making every transaction smooth and seamless. The office is not only clean and beautifully designed but also conveniently located. I highly recommend Dawson Title and look forward to partnering with them for future closings!

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with Dawson Law P.A. and their unprofessional business practices. **The atmosphere at this firm is toxic, hostile, and completely inappropriate for any employee**. On behalf of my friend’s experience working there was nothing short of a nightmare, and I feel compelled to share their grievances.
First and foremost, the lack of professionalism displayed by the management and colleagues was appalling. **There was a complete disregard for ethical conduct and basic workplace decency**. The work environment was rife with misconduct, favoritism, and a blatant lack of respect for employees.
Furthermore, the communication within the firm was abysmal. **Important information was often withheld or misrepresented**, leading to confusion and unnecessary stress among staff members. **There was a severe lack of transparency and accountability** from the leadership, which created a culture of fear and mistrust.
Moreover, the treatment of employees was nothing short of disgraceful. **There were instances of bullying, harassment, and discrimination that went unchecked**. It was clear that employee well-being was not a priority for Dawson Law P.A., and those who spoke out against the injustices faced retaliation and further mistreatment.
In conclusion, I urge anyone considering working with or for Dawson Law P.A. to proceed with extreme caution. **Their lack of professionalism, hostile work environment, and blatant disregard for employee rights make them a company to be avoided at all costs**. My friends time at this firm was a harrowing experience, and I would not wish it upon anyone else.

While Allen offered a pivotal insight, the overall experience was negative and damaging. Meetings were capped at 15 minutes, making it hard to address the legal needs of our pilot. Even these short meetings were often cut short or canceled, leaving key issues unresolved.
Critical tasks were ignored or left incomplete, and if confronted, Allen would deny ever discussing them, even if we had the night before.
When cornered, rhetorically, Allen resorted to demeaning remarks and threatened to cut off communication. He eventually declared the work done, dismissed our objections, and made it clear none of our concerns were valid.
His staff, while sympathetic and doing their best to rein him in, couldn’t compensate for the lack of focus. After reading other reviews, I now see our experience wasn’t unique. Thoroughly research before hiring. Now we must regroup to ensure our pilot is completed

Allen has represented us for almost 25 years ranging from agreements in music publishing, artist management, production, and copyright infringement disputes. Each and every time we have worked together whether it is a label negotiation or an independent he always manages to make deals come to fruition, probably because he always does the right thing. Besides knowing all the player's in the industry he has such a deep knowledge of music it doesn't matter what genre he loves music! Allen, thank you for being there throughout the years. Besides being such a consummate professional you are an amazing person. I can't imagine having navigated the industry without you.

Mr. Carter was consulted for title review and assessment of an existing real property whereby the property owner was excluded and denied membership privelages conveyed with the property.
Mr. Carter was subsequently hired as plaintiffs representation for litigation.
Mr. Carter successfully resolved the matter in favor of plaintiff. The case was complicated, difficult to dissect with multiple defendants.
Ultra professional, most attentive, excellent steward, and commanding in the court room.

Mr. Carter is exceptionally well versed in the areas of business and corporate law. His attention to detail and ability to communicate effectively is both efficient and eloquent, thus authoring arguments that stay on point and drive home compelling conclusions that are difficult, at best, to rebut. Further, Mr. Carter is a very giving listener that allows his client the freedom to contribute and opine throughout the process without any condescension, bias, or judgment. HIs sincerity and genuine concern for his client's needs and goals are clearly illustrated by incorporating every relevant angle of an argument into a case while keeping his points focused and consistent. In short, Mr. Carter's finest quality is respect for his client and the rare ability to empathetically engage an individual while maintaining an objective and calculated perspective.

Ivan mislead me with information on the amount my settlement would be and drew out the entire process for nothing than maybe his own gain.
I was pregnant and suffered my entire pregnancy and still now.

He did for my passenger though.

My son was in a terrible accident and the insurance of the other person (the person whose fault it was) was not corresponding.

But Ivan is different. He is passionate. He is rigorous and kept me informed throughout my accident case. The results were always in my favor. I've recommended his firm to everyone. Plus, you can't beat his free consultation.

I retained Mr. Miller's firm for an Action in Partition defense. I was lied to by his partner Robert Garcia. He told me he was going to file a Motion for Mediation, prepared it, billed me for it and never filed it. He failed and refused to get a matter to mediation three times, under the guise that he was trying to save me money, after which I told to get on with and that he would be paid, and he still refused. Mr. Miller even told him to file the Motion and get the Judge to sign an Order. Mr. Garcia still failed to do so.
Then when I became angry at his failure to act, he fires me! Then there was the matter of the $2,500 retainer I paid these people. I had to ask for an itemized bill. I eventually received an email of what was left of my retainer.
Upon receipt of my bill, I discovered that I was billed close to $150 for preparation of a Motion THAT WAS NEVER EVEN FILED WITH THE COURT!! Unless it's filed, it's of zero value! THEN I was charged a $15.00 fee for "filing" another motion. THIS is purely a secretarial function! This takes minutes at best. I have worked for law firms in three different states, and know of NO reputable law firm who bills their clients for pleadings that are NEVER filed and for secretarial services.
The descriptions Mr. Garcia entered on the bill are inadequate. I've billed my time, and my time entries were NEVER called into question because my descriptions were adequate! I was taught well. You simply cannot enter "email with opposing counsel," and a next to nothing description of that email unless, of course, you don't mind redoing billing entries!
When I questioned these email charges, I requested copies of those emails I was being charged for. Mr. Garcia requested that I give him essentially "carte blanche" to have his secretary figure this out and send them to me. He added I would be charged secretarial time and he had no idea how much that would be. Now, once again, I know of no reputable firm that does this kind of thing! IF you want copies of something, you are charged per copy what the Clerk of the Court charged PERIOD! There were NOT that many entries I was questioning.
They failed and flat out refused to address the billing issues. I asked Mr. Miller if he would agree to the Fee Dispute Arbitration Program of the Florida Bar. He failed to respond. IT'S FREE! I also sent another offer to amicably resolve the matter, which also went ignored by Mr. Miller and Mr. Garcia. There was a $600 difference between what they took as their "fee" and what I believe their sub-par work and what they put me through was worth. Many times, both Mr. Miller and Mr. Garcia stated "we do not nickel and dime our clients." Just because they say this, doesn't make it so.
I am a Senior Citizen, living on Social Security. These people ripped me off as set forth above, disrespected me, and took advantage of me.
I do not want anyone else to have to go through this with these horrible people. Use them for closing, as closing are cookie cutter. BUT do not use them for anything else.
Also, this website https://www.expertise.com/fl/orlando/real-estate-attorneys, scored 141 real estate lawyers in Orlando and arrived at the top 33, Mr. Miller's firm is conspicuously not among them. They were scored on availability, qualifications, reputation, experience and professionalism. It appears obvious to me that Mr. Miller's firm must not have measured up.
Now Mr. Miller and Mr. Garcia may attempt to refute all of this. BUT Please know that I have each and every email sent to my by both of them that will substantiate everything and then some.

Andrew and Theodore were extremely professional and transparent with me throughout my whole case. My case lasted approximately 5 months and they were by my side throughout the whole period. Weekends, holidays, after hours they were always a email/phone call away.
If you have been in a car accident, and you need someone to help you deal with everything. Give them a call and they will fight for you, and protect you with the law.

The absolute best!
After my injury, I felt completely lost and vulnerable. Having never experienced anything like this before I didn’t know what to do or who to turn to… and then a friend recommended Theodore Enfield to me. From day one, I hung up the phone with a sigh of relief, feeling a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. I knew I had placed my “burden” in their trusted hands.
Andrew handled my case and was an absolute God send! He is exceptional, very kind and courteous; answered any and all questions I had, and kept me informed every step of the way. I always felt that I was being “heard”. He took the pain out of a painful situation, and gave me the hope and the confidence I needed to move forward. I cannot thank Andrew enough for all he did for me and I 100% recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for honest and trustworthy representation; that goes above and beyond your expectations!

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.
