Setting Up A Consultation
Currently, I am limiting my practice to only consultations-I am not representing clients on an ongoing basis or on matters that require services or solutions that can not be handled by a consult such as contract negotiations, business entity formations or trademark registrations. Therefore, if you have a list of questions on how to get started, a contract that you have questions about, how to set up a business in the music industry, then I can help. Other topics I consult on are listed below. All consultations are by telephone. There is a charge of $100 for a one hour consultation (1 hour minimum). Payment is made at the time of the consultation by credit or debit card. You can schedule a consult through the appointment scheduler on this page below.

Shopping or Pitching Policy
Though I do represent clients in the entertainment industry, I do not shop or pitch projects to record companies, television or film producers or book publishers. I become involved after a client has acquired an interest on his or her own. Though these companies tell you to get an entertainment lawyer to provide these services, very few attorney's provide these services. For recording artists I suggest aligning yourself with a manager or producer that has contacts in the industry. For film, tv and book projects you would seek out an agent that provides these services.
