Hook and bait. Overpriced. Charges for everything single second, even for bathroom breaks. The lawyer is old as stone and slow. He coughs dust. Forgets things and should have retired 6 years ago. He’s not flexible with dates since he has early bedtimes and naps. Save yourself time and money. Go find yourself a younger lawyer with more stamina.

We had an unfortunate experience with Ms. Elisabeth Kovac today, who was seated next to us on a flight from London to Vienna (OS456). As someone who represents a law firm, we expected a level of professionalism and respect, but sadly, Ms. Kovac’s behavior was anything but.
Shortly after we took our seats in 9B and 9C (she sat in 9A), she openly complained about us in German via text, describing us as “two 150kg people that smell like sweat.”. My husband and I were appalled by this unkind and shocking comment—especially since my husband’s weight is half of what she claimed, and I have a medical condition that has led to weight gain. None of us smelled, as we had just showered in the Plaza Premium Lounge before the flight. These were blatant exaggerations. Ms. Kovac even attempted to sneakily take a picture of us twice(!), only to awkwardly angle her camera away when she realized my husband had noticed. When confronted, she offered no apology at all. And yes, we have proof of her actions.
This experience was deeply disappointing, particularly coming from someone who should be accustomed to dealing with a diverse range of people of different skin colors, body types, and genders in her profession. Such behavior is not only rude but also unprofessional for a lawyer who, I hope, treats her clients with more respect than she showed us. Perhaps in the future, Ms. Kovac might consider flying business class if sitting next to other passengers is so bothersome to her.
I sincerely hope this review serves as a wake-up call for better conduct in the future.

I want to share my gratitude for the outstanding work that Charles and Melissa did for my client whose house was in foreclosure and was about to be sold at the public auction. The situation with my client's property was very tough - his property in Queens, NY was underwater, and the bank didn't want to entertain any short payoff offers. However, Charles and Melissa put together and executed a compelling strategy involving the bankruptcy sale, which forced the mortgage bank to return to the negotiation table and allowed the client to sell the property on his terms. Charle's and Melissa's expertise in the complicated world of bankruptcy is undeniably strong; I will recommend their services to any homeowner whose house is in foreclosure and who requires similar legal representation.

Our company was forced to file Chapter 7 in the middle of the pandemic. Due to loss of business we had to relocate and deal with creditors including our landlord. Not only were we not able to pay rent, we also had bank loans that were pulling us down.
After several consultations we hired Mr. Higgs to steer us through bankruptcy proceedings so we could stay in business. His level of professionalism and the understanding made all the difference to our small business. We are happy to say we were able to keep our business and our livelihood. I would gladly give Charles Higgs 5 stars for this.

He’s knows nothing about bankruptcy law ask the trustees he deals with over and over if front of judges he is bad and needs to be dis-barred from practicing law stay away from this lawyer terrible job on my cases... just a word to the wise STAY AWAY!!!

We had great experience working with Alfredo and absolutely recommend him! We were recommended to work with him by a professional contact whose family similarly had great experience with him. Alfredo is very professional, accessible, and knowledgeable in his field. Alfredo helped me to change my visa status, and everything went smoothly and quickly thanks to him. In less than a year, my case was approved.

I had an extremely negative experience with this law firm and would not recommend their services to anyone. If I could give them 0 stars I would do so.
I had my initial consultation with David which lasted only a few minutes. I had some questions about my situation, but he told me he does not work for free and he did not give me any further advice until I signed a retainer agreement. A few days later I received a text from a paralegal asking if I was still interested in their services and to pay a $2,500 retainer. The amount was a surprise to me because David had said that the retainer would be $1,000 during our initial consultation. The invoice they sent me for the retainer was also marked "Past Due" even though it was sent to me before I ever signed a retainer agreement. I believe they did this to get me to pay as soon as possible. After some back and forth with their paralegal over text, I paid $1,000 so that the firm could draft a letter to my landlord.
The paralegal then told me to send important documents that I had to the firm. I asked them what documents I should send but never got a response, which is ridiculous because they are supposed to be advising me as to what is important. After hearing nothing I decided to send them a small amount of documents showing I lived at the apartment like cable bills. I followed up with them, and they told me the letter would be ready by 5pm on a Monday. They missed that deadline without giving me any explanation and despite my multiple texts asking them for an update. And while they were very quick to respond to my messages when it came to paying their retainer, it took them several days to get back to me about the status of my letter.
Based on this, I told them I no longer wanted them to represent me and asked that they refund me. They sent me a receipt showing that I was only refunded $160 out of my $1,000 retainer, and without any explanation of the work they did. I wrote to the firm the next day requesting a full refund. David called me but mostly talked down to me instead of listening to my concerns and said things like "well you signed the retainer agreement." The firm then sent me a timesheet showing about 2.5 hours of work.
According to that time sheet, it took them 1 hour to review the documents I sent (which were just my cable bills and a certificate). They also apparently billed me 1 hour for drafting the letter, which I never received. They also refused to give me a copy of the letter until I said I would be filing a complaint. The letter that it apparently took them an hour to draft was a couple of sentences that I could have done myself. It's unbelievable that this letter reflects two hours of attorney work.
They also billed me for almost half an hour for texts I had with their office at their attorney rates. It was a complete surprise to me that I had ever texted any attorney because the person that was texting me said they were a paralegal, and I received messages like "all attorneys are in court right now". When I asked them about this, they claimed an attorney was texting me some of the time. If that is true, that attorney never identified themself as such and almost all of the texts were about payment of their retainer. Why should I have to pay them for that?
Ultimately, I received no value from this firm and they refuse to refund me in full. Avoid at all costs

These guys are AMAZING! As a small women owned business, the daunting trademark/patent world was completely foreign and overwhelming to us. Amster, Rothstein and Ebenstein and everyone on their team took the time to explain (and made sure we understood) every step in the process. They have been more than professional, they actually care about our business and our success. Thanks guys for helping out our small business and making it the success that it is

The dishes and glasswares were extremely dirty to the point I couldn’t use it myself - I got to work I turned their kitchen into a mirror everything super clean even the employees and guess noticed the differences - I will not leave dishes stay unwashed overnight to avoid food and drink poisoning but to the manager it’s not important because I was mistreated by one of his third party server and he came and immediately removed me from my long term gigs - clearly he doesn’t know the importance of clean dishes when offering catering services - the kitchen doesn’t have a 3 sinks comportments and for sure nothing is being sanitized because they use 2 small domestic dishwashers. For sure anything being used right now is dirty especially plates and mugs ( I even turned all mugs super clean no coffee stains or lipstick) but the man got rid of me because I challenged a server who said I don’t know what I was doing. His decision was based on discrimination because I refused to go permanent with the company

Abhorrent, unprofessional, immoral.
Despite multiple email, Zoom, and verbal conversations regarding my preferred pronouns, Department Managers refused to respect my preferences, openly and loudly referring to me by the gender they decided they knew better than me. Be warned, this is NOT a safe place for the LGBTQIA2+ Community. Additionally, multiple comments were made by Department Managers that they hated coworkers, internal and external, because their Indian. Be warned, this is NOT a safe place for people of color.

These people are some of the world’s best. They helped me every step of the way start and grow my advertising and communications business into a global powerhouse. Their advice, their practical advice, their genuine concern for our firm and its principals, their knowledge of the industry and our clients proved invaluable at every stage. And they continued to provide invaluable services when we sold our company and to its new owners. They are doing the same for the firm I work for now. Work with them. You won’t be disappointed. I’d bet you’d be as delighted as I was. They get it. As their website says, “legal mastery is essential but insufficient. Even the best lawyering must work in tandem with business realities.” They demonstrate genuine care for you, your goals and success.Most lawyers I’ve worked see all the problems, they will help you find the path thru them!!

My experience with Joyce Adriana Delgado at Venable LLP was highly disappointing. Rather than seeking justice, she appeared more focused on prolonging litigation and employing aggressive legal maneuvers that only benefited the opposing party. During my deposition, her approach felt less like a fair legal process and more like an interrogation designed to manipulate facts rather than uncover the truth. Her litigation style and strategic delays made me question whether her methods reflect an influence of authoritarian legal tactics, similar to those seen in Venezuelan legal systems. Given her background and approach, I also couldn’t help but wonder if her legal strategies are influenced by ideological or political ties, including potential connections to communism.
Additionally, she seems to focus on defending powerful entities and individuals engaged in financial misconduct rather than advocating for fairness and justice. If you are looking for an attorney who prioritizes transparency and ethical representation, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Simply cannot recommend them. They take a long time, whoever is your lawyer most likely won’t actually be handling your case, it’ll be the paralegal. A few people took money from my settlement and my lawyer didn’t even know about it until I wrote my initial review which my lawyer asked me to remove to fight for the remainder of my money. The whole process of being in an accident is already stressful so I’d recommend getting a lawyer that does due diligence, and actually knows everything that’s going on. Once my initial check was ready I only found out because I called in. They don’t give updates like other lawyers, you have to call every time. Maybe they are understandably busy, but then don’t take on cases you won’t be able to handle properly. I was in an accident and settled whilst I’ve been waiting for the remainder of my settlement. Do what’s best for you, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Would give zero stars if it were an option. $350 consultation fee is a scam, you pay and sign a document stating it is non refundable even if they make it so you cannot get a consultation. To schedule a consultation you must do it by email, even if your busy schedule does not allow for untimely back and forth, and when you try and give them the times that work for you they utilize language such as "you ignored the last email," threatened with a last email due to the disrespect of me suggesting a different time that works with my schedule (the client) and I even asked if they could just contact me as soon as possible which. Disregards my schedule and gives priority to theirs and that was, too, disrespectful and not honored. I don't usually write reviews, but this company is predatory based on their actions, they ask for a $350 consultation fee, take it as non refundable, and they make it seem like a consultation was not scheduled based on their refusal to do so. An email stating they are accommodating does not mean they are, and I can only hope this company ceases to exist as the predator that it is.

The worst experience with an attorney ever!! Gave us false advice - and then backed out on his words, even though 2 other people, including another attorney, were present on the conversation. We all heard the same thing. Because of his bad advise we lost a buyer, and took bunch of unnecessary actions. All in all, because of him we lost 70k.
Definitely do NOT recommend.

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.
