John gets the job done

John has handled a number of projects on my behalf, such as restaurants, business transactions & trademarks, and some smaller items. He is personable and savvy, with a great deal of expertise entertainment and business law. A great combination is his field of business.

Excellent negotiator with great passion in the entertainment field

I worked with John for a brief time where he negotiated licensing and IP deals that could be very complex. My past experience in entertainment IP saw many deals fall apart for lack of mutual understanding in this very new territory. Not the case with John, he was diligent, thoughtful and speaks in ...terms all can understand. I continue to consult with John on personal business and trust him to always be straight and guide me to the best solution.

Wonderful!

I consider myself extremely lucky to have found John. He's a consummate professional and an awfully nice guy as well. He always gets back to me quickly and always seems to have time to talk, even when the meter is not running. Absolutely recommend!

Excellent Lawyer - Plain Speaking and Very Smart

I have worked with John on a number of projects, he is intelligent, knowledgeable and a great communicator. We would consider him our full time lawyer, dealing with all types of issues important for our small-medium sized entertainment business. LLC set-up, contractor agreements, partnership agreem...ents, company filings and most of all legal advice. John helped us make crucial business decisions that will benefit us for years to come. If you are looking for a strong, reasonable and smart lawyer, John is your man. Look no further.

Defies the Stereoypes

John defies every single "bad lawyer" stereotype not least because he approaches law as a vocation rather than just a job. Upon hiring him, it was instantly clear that he was fully invested in the outcome on my behalf. I never felt rushed, and I knew he had my back at all times. BLUF: he delivered ex...actly what he said he would, thoroughly, on time, with astonishing professionalism, care, expertise, gusto and a welcome sense of humour. And made it look easy. John clearly enjoys what he does and thus is an absolute pleasure to work with. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him in a quarter that time.

  • 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.
