Definitely would not recommend using Judge Amy Pellman for mediation services. She was incredibly biased from the start and made an unprofessional comment within 10 minutes of the session starting. Should’ve ended it there instead of wasting an entire day making zero progress on any kind of settlement. She was only interested in assisting one side on their goals, and did not advocate for me on any points. She might’ve been a great judge but clearly needs some more experience in mediation, where the purpose is to try and reach an agreement between both parties- not decide who she thinks is right and pursue their interests only. We hired another mediator after this failed session and had immediate success with them.

I am so blessed to have found Lawyer Seppi! I have never been in this situation where I needed a lawyer and don’t plan to ever again, but Seppi made this experience as easy as possible. And after meeting Seppi in his office, I felt even better because he was so kind, personable, patient, and understanding. He answered every question I had and kept me updated. I listened to every word he said, and because of that my case was dismissed before our court date and I remain with a completely clean record! I cannot thank this law firm enough!!!

Words alone cannot express the appreciation and gratitude I have for the fantastic work that Land Legal Group did on my divorce case. They were incredibly efficient, highly competent, and provided exceptional service, handling everything with impeccable professionalism. I would rate them over 10 stars if it were possible. Attorney Joseph Land is a man of his word! From my first telephone conversation with Joseph all the way to the end of my case ,he and his team followed through with what he said they could do for me, and they did successfully. I never felt as though they put my case on the back burner. He always answer the phone himself right away or returned my calls immediately. Attorney Yana, who work along with Joe was compassionate and definitely knew the necessary legal steps needed for my case to have a successful outcome. She returned my emails and calls right away. They were all so very patient with me and never made me feel as though they were rushing me off the phone or didn't have time for me. I am so satisfied and happy with the Land Legal groups performance that I can go on and on. Also, thank you James who handled the financial portion of my case. If you are looking for a Legal team to get the job done legally, ethically and successfully the Land legal group is definitely the team you would want to handle your case. They truly value their clients and it is demonstrated through their performance.

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.

Stephanie Blum is my opposing counsel. She is the most overpriced attorney I have ever met.
First, my Ex and I signed marital settlement agreement last December, it took her over 5 months to prepare for our judgement paper. Second, she or her office does not even know how to draft a judgement form, she only put selective information in the judgement and simplifies the important terms. For example, in her FL-180 form, she only used 3 sentences to describe two properties which is one of the biggest issues in our divorce case. Third, she likes to play tricks on people. However, her tricks are not smart and make her and her team look like a joke. For instance, she spent hours and hours on arguing a small issue with me through emails which was only related to about thousand-dollar fee for my children. (Her hourly rate is $850/hr) In the end, my Ex spent thousands of thousands of dollars on attorney fees. I wasted all my energy and time on her; and the quality of life of my children was affected. Last, her office sent me wrong documents (her other clients’ court papers) twice before. Thus, I am very worried about the private information of my own.
In all, go hire Stephanie Blum if you are ready to spend hundred, hundred thousand dollars, time is not an issue, you do not care about your private information, and you like to play on people as well.

I have been an attorney for decades and a named partner at a boutique law firm. Stephanie Blum, Esq. has represented me, personally, several times in family law matters and has always done an outstanding job. I pay her normal hourly rate. The last time she represented me, she trounced a completely unethical lawyer who refused to "play by the rules". She was originally referred by one of our law firm's clients and our firm recommends her services for any family law matters that arise. She is very aggressive, knowledgeable, experienced, and gets the job done. Legal services for any lawyer never end up being inexpensive (even the supposed "bargain" lawyers), and our family law system is a travesty. So, if you find yourself forced into litigation that can have a profound effect on your life, you are inevitably going to be compelled to spend real money and should make sure, in the very least, that you are represented by strong, effective counsel like Ms. Blum.

I was really happy with the service provided by Daniel and Ayal. They always made themselves availablr to answer my questions without making me feel like a bother. Only putting 4 stars instead of 5 because Maria, the receptionist, was kind of rude. But I just spoke with Daniel for the first time since my wedding, and when I told him about my experience with Maria, he explained that she was only at the firm for a week until him and Ayal picked up on her less than friendly attitude and let her go. Very much respect that they saw the issue so quickly and fixed it.

Mr. Fisher, we would like to thank you for all your help with my parents' case and representing my parents. We couldn't have asked for better lawyer and would not hesitate to hire your service again if we ever face another issue in the future. You and your office have been kind and helpful to us throughout the process. Thank you for all your hard work.
Mr. Fisher has helped my parents with unlawful detainer eviction twice. One case was last year which my parents won the case, thanks to Mr. Fisher. My parents' landlord has filed another Unlawful Detainer-Eviction case again this year against my parents which the landlord dismissed the case. We are very happy that we have Mr. Fisher representing my parents. He helped us with the process and answered all our questions. He is very knowledgeable about the law, kind and helpful. I highly recommend Mr. Fisher to anyone who may need help with tenant eviction case.

Olivia is absolutely outstanding! She understands the emotional side of your case while being able to find the legal aspects of holding the employer accountable for breaking the law! Made a really terrible situation a little easier by explaining everything and helping me get everything in order and in the right hands. I would not use anyone else! Call them for any sexual harassment case... You won't be disappointed! 10/10

I recently had the privilege of working with Karla Waymire for my family law case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Navigating family matters can be incredibly stressful and emotional, but Karla's support and expertise made the entire process significantly easier. From our initial consultation, Karla demonstrated a genuine understanding of my situation and listened attentively to my concerns. She patiently explained the legal complexities involved. I truly appreciated her clear and honest communication style. She never made promises she couldn't keep, and always kept me updated on the progress of my case. I highly recommend Karla Waymier to anyone seeking a skilled, experienced, and empathetic family law attorney. I am incredibly thankful for her guidance and support, and I am thrilled with the results she achieved for me.

Thank you all for your patience and answering my questions, the smooth scheduling of appointments and for making what could have been a stressful and confusion experience, surprisingly straightforward and stress-free.

Despite not being my lawyer but rather opposing counsel, I had an exceptionally positive experience with him. He was, without a doubt, the most honest lawyer I have ever encountered. His communication skills were excellent, and he thoroughly explained everything with clarity. He has a remarkable ability to see the big picture and quickly grasp complex situations. In my view, he embodies the qualities of a lawyer, judge, and mediator. I highly recommend him as your lawyer; he will guide you with integrity and expertise.

Tony has a great analytical mind and a unique perspective when it comes to the law. I had the pleasure of working with him a few years ago on the East Coast. He is a classical debater, very strategic in his approach and methodical when it comes to moving his opponent to his position. All of that and a heart of gold makes Tony an attorney that you want in your corner. When the good guys win it's because they have good fighters on their side, and Tony is one of the best!

I was referred to this firm from a trusted source. I called in to have Bill Seike represent me for a DUI case and I was handed off to another attorney Faustine Fillamone without my consent. From the beginning I expressed to Bill my issues with Faustine and he assured me that she was knowledgeable. As I expected through my experience with her she was not knowlable and poorly presented my case in court as if it was her first time in a court house. It was if I didn't have an attorney. She gave me the wrong information and I got all the things a first time offender would receive after extensive hours of work I did prior to my court date. I emailed both Faustine and Bill after the court hearing to advise how displeased I was and that Faustine gave me the wrong information or my court requirements and they never responded to my emails. I had to go to court myself the following week and resolve the issues. Save your money and run from this firm.

We hired Lauren Noriega to fight my felony probation violation. I was denied bail in the beginning and served 2.5 months in jail at which point Lauren fought for me and got me released on bail. The judge and DA tried to sentence me to 3 years in prison. Lauren got the appellate court involved who issues a stay order the day before I was supposed to surrender myself. She did an amazing job, found a lot of legal presidents that worked in our favor. Dealing with the DA’s and courts took way longer than expected, but we did get the results that she told us we would get from the beginning. Which was a full dismissal of the probation violation.

Dealing with the DA’s and courts took way longer than expected, but we did get the results that she told us we would get from the beginning. Which was a full dismissal of the probation violation.

- 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.

- Advising on industry regulations: Entertainment lawyers help clients navigate industry-specific laws, such as union regulations, labor laws, or FCC rules for broadcasting.

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.

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.

- 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.

- Intellectual property portfolio: Provide details about any copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property you own or are seeking to protect.

- 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.
