Instrumental to my success

I’ve been working with Fred Fierst for over 20 years. He and the attorneys in the practice have always been extremely professional, knowledgeable, and honest in their work. I am a recognized leader in the kids licensing and entertainment industry, and this practice has been essential to the work I’ve... been able to do over the years. As a member of the Licensing Hall of Fame and Kidscreen Hall of Fame, Fred Fierst has been instrumental to my success.

Movie deal

I went to Fred when Amazon Studios offered to option the film rights for an article I had written. The entire process from option, with many contingencies, to an eventual buy was long and tortured, especially at the end when the options expired. and the issue became another option or walk away. At ev...ery step of that process, Fred was there, quick to respond, and to offer wise counsel. And we got the deal done!

Entertainment & Media Expertise

I've been a client of the firm for many years and always received great service on a variety of legal matters related to entertainment, media, intellectual property, and gaming. Like many professionals and businesses in these sectors, I've also relied on Fred for solid business advice related to tra...nsactions in these areas. Over the years, I have recommended Fred to several other potential clients (large and small) both domestic and in countries around the world, and I have been thanked by all those who have retained him. I continue to work with Fred on a variety of matters and could not be more pleased with the quality of the work and the fine working relationship.

Intellectual Property Law

Exceptional firm. As the CEO of Mirage Studios, the company that created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Fred Fierst and his team for over 25 years on a host of complex domestic and international intellectual property, licensing and entertainment industry... issues. The services provided were always exceptional. With Fred representing us, I never felt outgunned no matter the size of the law firm Mirage was facing. And on top of the legal expertise of the firm, the strength that proved itself most useful time and again was Fred’s creative negotiating ability to solve even the most intractable legal and business issues. I highly recommend Fierst Bloomberg Ohm LLP to anyone seeking responsive, expert, creative legal services.

A+++ Lawyer - I've Been a Client for over 26 years now.

We have used Fred's services since 1994. He has negotiated complex legal deals, international deals, made introductions, won all battles, etc. Overall, he has built an incredible firm. He has a lot of experience and relationships in the entertainment industry, games, toys, movies, TV, video game, l...icensing, etc. I can't tell you how many attorneys have told me they are happy to deal with Fred Fierst because they know he will come up with a solution to every roadblock. Ultimately, the people at his firm are really great down-to-earth people too, a pleasure to work with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
