Reviews

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.

I've known Allen Jacobi for many years and I'm pleased to share that throughout all these years Mr Jacobi has represented me and in many occasions I have produced video and film content for his enterprises and clients. I most certainly recommend him and as a matter of fact I have done so to friends and business associates. He has never disappoint me nor any of the individuals I've reffered to him. Great lawyer, great friend.

Allen Jacobl has been my attorney for the past 10 years. He's drafted several contracts for me from management to consulting agreements. He's introduced me to various clients that need services with radio promotions. He's probably the best entertainment attorney in the state of Florida. If you need an attorney to look over any contract that pertains to the music business, Allen is that guy for you. Give him a call. He's the best.

When is comes to entertainment law, it sucks to be the person sitting on the other side of the negotiation table. Allen not only knows his stuff, but he has the experience, track record, contacts and client pool to back it up. Every deal I consider goes through his office.

Allen Jacobi has represented me for years now. His success track record, experience and reliability in the entertainment business are among the best in his field.

Anyone can write a contract, not everyone can make a del happen. In the real business of music, there are two big things that is needed and Allen does both. Know how to make a deal happen, and know the real players that either make it happen, or are doing it. Most importantly, he because if his experience, he knows if it's a good deal, or a bad deal. So many attorney's today have virtually no experience in the music industry and are simply contact attorneys that write contracts for their clients after they have put something together. But someone new in the industry can be taken advantage of with all the changes. Allen has the experience to make sure your deal is right and will happen, not just write another contract.

I first met Allen Jacobi in the early 80's while I was the Vice-President of A&R at Capitol Records. I took an immediate liking to Allen. It was refreshing to meet an attorney that also was a real and knowledgeable fan of music. I didn't sign his client, but I let him know that he had an 'open door' invitation to contact me at anytime. Though I was literally surrounded by influential power broker attorneys from L.A. NY, and London I found Allen to be more down to earth and passionate about every one of his clients. The fact that he was based in Miami was never a problem as far as I was concerned. After sixteen years with Capitol I decided to open my own artist management company. It was Allen Jacobi that I chose to represent me. That was 26 years ago! Well I am very successful and Allen Jacobi is still my attorney. I love him as a person and his work is excellent. I'd advise that anyone who is in need of legal representation or plain old good advice contact him. I could type many accolades about him, but I'm eating my limit. Oh, his rates are VERY reasonable and he cares. Good luck!!!!
