When searching for lawyers for my fathers DUI case, I came across several lawyers but from the few that I spoke with over the phone or in person, no one came close to David. From start to finish he was so kind, understanding and responsive! When meeting with him I truly appreciated his honesty and expertise regarding options and knew that we would be in good hands moving forward with him. He is very knowledgeable about the Anoka court system and was very patient and in explaining the process with my father and I. In the end the case was able to be dismissed! We are very happy with the outcome and working with David. We always got latest updates throughout the process and communication was top notch! I can’t recommend him and his team enough!!

I hired James based on the feedback in a review that praised his calm respectful demeanor and how it decompressed a tense negotiating situation. I ended up getting exactly what was described. James was able to hold the line during the negotiation of the sale of my business while always keeping the discourse as positive as possible. That demeanor eventually broke through the initial tension of the situation and produced a great result. Simply put, James if fantastic !

James worked with our nonprofit to create a contract for a new employee. He was prompt, effective, and knew his stuff. It saved us time and money to work with Morbey & Olsen. They say their goal is to "provide exceptional and strategic legal solutions" for their clients and Olsen did just that!

James helped me and a business partner of mine negotiate terms on an option agreement that, to be quite frank, had already gotten ugly. His courteous, professional approach to handling both parties along with his knowledge and perseverance helped us work out the best deal possible for our company. Turning to James Olsen for trustworthy help was the right turn for me.

I contacted Mr. Kunkle regarding a name change for our non-profit. I wanted to know if the new name was available and if he might then register the new name. He deferred, but not before he searched the name and referred me to a more appropriate attorney. I appreciated his professionalism.

I worked long-distance with Mr. Kunkle (I’m a resident of Michigan) on a trademark registration. I greatly appreciated his ability to explain complex issues quickly and succinctly, make the trademark registration process easy for me, and follow-up when necessary. I highly recommend Ken – he does great work and is a clear communicator both via phone and email.

I only needed a few minutes with Maxwell to get his advice on a project I am working on. He understood right away what it was that I needed, and offered great advice in a friendly, professional manner. I look forward to continuing to work with Maxwell as my project develops.

I've know max for a number of years. Most of which were spent in a non professional manner as friends, and on stages as members of a band. When I came to a point where I needed some legal representation and advice, I naturally turned to Max. Although I expected his knowledge and service to be top notch, I was blown away by his professionalism and approach.
As working with people who have ties outside of any professional matter can sometimes lead to less comprehensive dialogue, and a more laid back style of communication and commitment, Max and I walked through the details of the work I needed done, laid out a time line of what was needed to complete my request and very quickly registered the final work.
I felt as if I had "lucked out" on finding good representation, and I feel this way totally independently of our personal friendship. I would absolutely recommend Maxwell Felsheim to anybody looking for knowledgeable, personable, representation or even a good saxophone player for that matter!

Recently had an auto incident in which a lady slammed into my mini-van and caused enough damage to declare it a totaled vehicle by her insurance. At the time, my van was very old with over 250,000 miles and her insurance offered less than one third of the value of the vehicle after buy back. The insurance company was very adamant and told me to take it or leave it without any negotiations even though I had done nothing to cause the accident. Very frustrating and annoying. Justin to the rescue!! After the dust settled, I got nearly the full value of my van and the best part is I got to keep the van. Thanks Justin.

Justin did an excellent job on learning our goals for the new drug testing policy we had to implement. He had great follow through and kept us updated on how the process was coming. Although we had several revisions, he was very generous with his time and was very patient to explain why we needed certain verbiage. Excellent work!

I cannot begin to thank Sholly for his work on a couple business cases, my company unfortunately needed him for. In the 14 years in business, we have not had clients try to take funds that were due to us. He helped us go to mediation, win and collect on the one case and on the other avoid all of that while still getting paid for our services rendered. He is straight forward and tells it like it is, and being in business I can afford not to be told what the facts are. I would highly recommend Sholly to anyone needed legal services related to your business. It is very refreshing to find someone like this.

Joe helped us navigate several hurdles and challenges in regards to child support, post decree issues and navigating the family law system. He also helped us with a conciliation court case. He was a bright spot in our dark experience in the family law world. He is down to earth, genuine, and calming in the midst of the chaos of legal drama. Even when busy, he always responded to us via email or phone right away to talk through the latest challenge we were up against and create a strategy/plan. Before we met Joe, we were working with another attorney and ultimately had to walk away from her because she was making matters worse by stirring things up so that I would need her services forever--and she'd be paid forever! Working with Joe was the opposite experience. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, professional and efficient, but he also truly listened and understood the nuances and complexities of the issues. He could follow us throwing out all kinds of information at once and he would synthesize it beautifully and truly “get it”. He then provided a pathway for an outcome that was best for our child and our family in a straightforward and realistic way. His communication and listening skills are impossible to beat as well as his genuine personality. He genuinely wanted to see things work out for our child and our family so we didn’t need to be caught up in the family law system. I have yet to meet another lawyer that genuinely wants to see that for his clients. All of his efforts ended up helping us ultimately do a stepparent adoption! He is the BEST OF THE BEST and we are forever grateful to him.

Jeff has a strong understanding of business and he is very inquisitive. He believes in helping those who may not be able to help themselves. It is obvious that he loves his work and is thrilled by the prospect of delving into new ideas or unraveling some complicated problems. He is always finding creative approaches to getting his clients educated and is very responsive to help asap. He has always come with solutions and not more problems to pay for. I like Jeff's creativity and eagerness to learn, teach and promote not just himself but all of his clients as well.

I will be using Aaron again for future projects.

I just have a question about the 1 Star review posted here 8 months ago. I seems like there's a lot of responses from the owner at that time. So I'm wondering about the response to the 1 Star review. it's written "new phone who dis?" that seems so odd to me. but there's completely coherent reviews before and after this one bad review. can someone explain this to me? It's appears very disrespectful, but really I can't believe that it's an authentic response.

Sandy made us feel so comfortable with our estate planning and the whole process so easy. She made something with such heavy weight feel weightless. We felt like it was a friendly neighbor walking us through all the paperwork. Sandy's warm aura makes you feel safe asking any questions, no matter how silly they may seem. Do not hesitate to reach out. I would recommend any friends or family to Sandy.

I've been contacting Blake Iverson for some time now. I had general questions about the legality of owning or pursuing a business in Minnesota. He's been great help all the way through with answering my questions. I have not scheduled a consultation with Blake, as I don't need to yet. But when I do, I'm definite that Blake will deliver more than enough needed in the time provided. Highly recommend Blake, if you need the help.

Blake has been incredible to work with. Fair minded, direct, and with a ton of experience to lean on in not just handling legal matters, but advice in handling general procedures for the benefit of a client. Hired a lawyer, ended up with someone that represented my interests in as many ways as he had the experience to support. All of the legal work he did was followed up with phone calls to ensure I had the best understanding possible of what was going on. Really a different experience from most attorneys I've dealt with. Will hire him again.

With Blake Iverson, you get a lawyer with impeccable credentials, a man with unimpeachable values, a friend with boundless integrity, a public citizen of laudable virtues, and a dude of abidable dudeness. He's just a hell of a guy. I was able to launch a publishing imprint only because of his counsel and belief and generosity with his knowledge. I more than recommend him. If I were to catch wind that you considered hiring him and didn't, we would have a problem. He's the only choice for legal counsel in Minnesota's creative community, and it's not even close.

I would like to take this moment to thank Joe Tamburino, Tyler Dahlen and Ashley Heaney(whom first worked with me). I am a person whom usually do not get into trouble as I continue to live my life trying to always do better. But I became a victim to my own actions as I made a choice which changed my life. With the help from this Law firm they helped me be able to see that there is still a future for myself and more to look forward towards. I thought I would be going into this case with lost of hope but with Mr. Tamburino and Mr. Dahlen fighting for me until the settlement agreement, they gave me hope that I wouldn't have to spend a big portion of my life in a facility. That I can continue my life without worries after this case was over. They handled my complicated case with great mindset and was always helpful in all the steps. I would strongly recommend this law firm as they do a lot to help assist you as long as you are willing accept the help they provide.
Lastly I would like to thank Mr. Tamburino again!

I applied for the Human Resources Assistant position with Stinson, LLP in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in August 2024. I was called the next day after applying via their online job application on their website.
My initial telephone interview was with Chelsea L. Clennan, Director of Human Resources for Stinson, LLP, who's located in their Wichita, Kansas office.
Chelsea was immediately complimenting me, telling me that any employer would be lucky to have me, that my skillsets are perfect for the role, that they would move quick for me in the recruitment process, they would make same-day job offers if needed-- immediately raising red flags for me that she was not a genuine person. She immediately moved me on to the second and final stage of the hiring process: the final interview with the hiring manager, the HR manager of the Minneapolis office-- both of whom reported to Chelsea.
My suspicions of Chelsea would prove correct when, all the sudden, after letting her know after my final interview on Friday afternoon that I did have another offer, which I'd received the day prior, Chelsea responded to my email quickly, letting me know her and her hiring team would meet on Monday. In her email to me, which I've attached, she even told me her team considered me a top candidate.
Monday came and went-- nothing, crickets. Tuesday, I received the attached screen shot email, letting me know they'd meet later that day. I replied, thanked her for keeping me in the loop, even further expressing my gratitude for keeping in touch with me and making me feel respected and valued.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday -- absolute radio silence from Chelsea L. Clennan. I sent a polite follow up email Friday afternoon-- again, I had been ghosted. Not a single reply or word from Chelsea or her team ever since -- despite her shtick of "you're a top candidate" and "we move quickly."
I shudder to think how Stinson, LLP employees -- whether in Minneapolis or Kansas -- are treated if Chelsea treated a job applicant -- me -- with what I felt like was pure garbage and disrespect.
Personally, I do not recommend Stinson as a place to work based on my experience as a job candidate and how I feel I was treated.
When people like the human resources director show you their true colors-- believe them.

I walked in alone to a hearing riddled with anxiety and uncertainty, with no legal representation. Not knowing what was going to be my outcome, especially over a situation that should not have even been brought to a level where court would have been involved, I requested a court appointed attorney.
I have never lucked out so much in my entire life than I did that day. Stinson Law firm just so happened to be providing pro bono work that morning and took my case. The two attorneys I worked with not only helped me feel validated in my disbelief that I was even there, but also were the most knowledgeable powerhouse of representation I could have ever asked for.
If I were to sum it all up in 3 reasons why I would recommend them to anyone, it would be:
Top notch negotiation skills, an unmatched knowledge of the law surrounding my scenario, and for being the most personable, down to earth people, to have the pleasure of working with.

Ms. Gislason is someone who is compassionate, truth seeker, passionate, diligent and extremely resourceful! She is a women that understands what you are looking to accomplish and she is going to go above and beyond for you as your lawyer! If you are serious about hiring someone that will step up to the fullest and get the results that you are looking for Ms. Gislason is YOUR NEXT LAWYER! Hiring her the first time was the best decision I made and the second time I retained her as my lawyer was the second best decision I made. I hired her for my divorce and an order of protection.

I was in need of sound advice regarding pet custody of two dogs. Ms. Gislason provided clear, concise suggestions as to how to go about the process. She requested a great deal of background information before doing so in order to arrive at a pair of options and their likely odds of success. I was extremely encouraged by the facts she relayed regarding pet custody, which in and of itself was very helpful! I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney to pursue the custody of their pets.

Around mid July of 2023, I had met with Gene Adkins from Hitchcock Law PLLC to formally sign the appropriate papers to be filed with the courts to establish my deceased grandmothers estate. Up until this point, all interactions with Gene and Hitchcock Law were timely and professional with no cause for concern. Approximately one week later 6/26/2023 Hitchcock Law deposited the $2,000 retainer check as requested and discussed during our initial in person meeting. Since sending payment to Hitchcock Law, the estate papers were filed with the court but quickly rejected due to an oversight from Gene which took place on 7/12/2023. It was not until 8/12/2023 that I had reached out for an update to be informed that there was an issue and new papers needed to be submitted; no communication on behalf of Gene or Hitchcock Law. Since then, I was told new e-sign documents would be sent over to make the requested corrections, and two months have since passed and there has been absolutely no progress. ZERO communication has been initiated by Hitchcock Law in regards to these concerns. $2,000 dollars and almost 6 moths later I am still at ground zero; a complete waste of time.

I am a local immigration attorney who needed some legal counsel from this firm. They came highly recommended by another well known attorney. Unfortunately, this firm is a HUGE disappointment to all consumers alike. I hope someone at big business reads this review. There is no onboarding process for this firm. None. You are at the mercy even as a colleague of poorly trained staff and assistants to get someone to pay attention to your case. The communication with this firm has been awful. Emails unanswered. Phone calls ignored. The firm waisted about 2.5 months of my client's case only to send a snarky response that they decline to represent, which is not what we were looking for (we needed a second opinion on case value). The employee (law clerk) who was assigned to our case left midway our project. No one got back to us on that. In sum, take your business elsewhere as I would say this firm has a chronic internal management problem that will continue into representation. If my prospective clients in my firm were treated this way, I would be fired on the spot and rightfully so. If my staff treated anyone the way we were treated, they would be fired on the spot as well for cause. Take note!

Always taking "vacations" with your money. Stalls, does a lot of "busy work" and slick talking to make sure it looks like he's doing something. Commits perjury overall good lawyer if you are a deadbeat trying to make it look like you are not.

Hello I'm a single father and the twin cities. My son's mother has made it very difficult for me to be in my son's life. I speak from experience. Travis is a true gladiator! When representing his clients he spares no expense when fighting for you to be in your child's life. It is an honor to recommend him at the highest levels of expectation. Fortunately for me I have Travis on my side who has years of practice in the justice system, and has the experience and not just family law, business law, and criminal defense law with a appellate court practice. Literally at One stop shop. He takes the time to explain best possible outcomes, as well as the realities of least possible outcomes. In addition to this his retainer and hourly rate are very reasonable. I strongly recommend his services and legal support to anyone in my network in need of the best representation in the legal market. Thank you for reading!

I was referred to this group for a special needs trust. They basically charged me over $450.00, didn't listen, made assumptions, and finally said they were "too expensive" but have to bill me for the first hour. Needless to say, I ended the engagement. I would not recommend this law firm to anyone unless you're interested in wasting money on expensive, inexperienced lawyers that don't take their time to review your request but still charge their high rate.

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.
