4000 characters is not enough to say what I need to say. Ron was very prompt and professional from the very 1st call I made to him & got down to business immediately. He isn't the cheapest guy out there but absolutely worth every penny. He resolved a mountain of an issue for me and I am extremely thankful. Anthony Sims - Owner; Lucky Dog

I own a digital media agency for a couple of years now and I been into many different business ventures prior. With that said, Ron has been by my side for all those business ventures. He pays attention to detail with every meeting and answers any question you have for him. His knowledge excels more than any lawyer I've encountered with but what I like most about him is the relationship we built over the years. Overall, I would recommend anyone on using him, and he will go above and beyond to help you.

I came to Ron for help when I ran into problems writing my first book. It was a biography of a Hollywood actress and I needed legal advice to protect myself and to ensure that all necessary permissions were secured. From the start, I found Ron to be completely professional and totally knowledgeable about the entertainment business. I felt that he took my case very seriously and did not consider my dilemma to be frivolous, which was a fear of mine going into this. He was always extremely supportive and encouraging. He was EXACTLY what I needed. It did not take me long to realize that I actually had better representation than the actress I was writing about! While I did not achieve all of the goals I was hoping for, that was more a reflection on others than on the efforts of Mr. Bienstock and his team. The bottom line is this: my book is published and I am extremely grateful for that. I do not think I could have accomplished what I did without the guidance of Ron Bienstock.

I've been in the music industry for 40 years. I owned recording studios, a label, a national distribution company to major vendors, as well produced and composed platinum top-10 hits. I hired the best attorneys throughout my career. The one who displayed the most knowledge and wisdom; who is a deal-maker -- not deal-breaker; and who has an impeccable sense of integrity, is Ron Bienstock. This is year 26 for me, and I'd give no one else my trust. -Gordon B

If I could give Ron a 6 star review, I would. Ron has been my attorney for 32 years and has handled all of my trademarks. He is amazing at keeping his cool under the most stressful situations. And if I need an attorney outside of his areas of specialization, all of his referrals have been great too! He is simply the best!

Recently, Ronald S. Bienstock and his firm assisted me in resolving an employment agreement. What could have been a very distressing and financially disastrous situation for me was averted by Mr. Bienstock and several of the attorneys in his firm. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Bienstock made me feel confident and assured about the eventual outcome. He has been a brilliant counsel - when most other attorneys would have backed down and made me settle for whatever the other side was offering, Mr. Bienstock stuck by me and brought the situation to a most fair and agreeable resolution. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody facing similar matters.

Ronald Bienstock has been our business attorney and #1 trusted advisor for 20 years.
We met Ron at the exact moment when we needed expert legal representation
against a large corporation in our industry that decided to attack our
business, back when it was just a start up.
He has advised us on and helped us secure valuable Intellectual Property.
He has successfully defended our Intellectual Property every time.
From the beginning Ron has always taken the time to understand our
business and its' challenges. He has presented us with many opportunities
to help the business grow, including help with potential investors.
He brings an unmatched level of caring and creative
problem solving ability to the most difficult situations.
Business has many challenges and we are truly
fortunate to have Ron representing us.

Ron has been my business attorney for nearly 20 years. He has secured and protected licensing agreements and trademarks both in the US and abroad, and has skillfully arranged corporate exit contracts for a situation mishandled by a previous lawyer. His guidance in business related matters has been invaluable. From handling licensing and publishing agreements for our 501c3 to artist endorsements he has been reliable and reputable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing entertainment and business services.

Ron is truly rare in the Entertainment Business. He is unfailingly rational, ethical and is truly one of the smartest people in this business. He has always advocated vigorously for my interests. In a business filled with prima donna attorneys, Ron has always checked his own ego at the door, and worked his hardest to do the best job possible for his clients. He's one of a kind and I'd never use a different attorney.

Ron Bienstock helped me through a contract negotiation in a professional and meticulous manner. I had been working with another attorney who messed up the deal. Then I was referred to Ron who was able to save the deal with a much more positive outcome. Now, I won't use any other attorney.

As an artist manager for over a decade, I have witnessed entertainment attorneys who range from buffoonish to preternaturally evil, and I can unreservedly say that Ron Bienstock is the ONLY attorney I would even consider hiring to advocate for the best interests of my clients.
Thorough knowledge of all legal aspects of the music industry? Check.
Problem solver when a client is in a jam (and even when not?) Check.
Unassailable ethics in an industry that has few? Check.
Choosing the wrong attorney to represent you or your clients' interests in the modern music industry can be fatal.
Choosing the right one can be the difference between failure and success, and can make all the difference in the world.
Ron and his team are the only choice for me and the artists I represent.
