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.

Top Notch !

John is an absolute treasure and one of the most stand-up trust worthy gentlemen you are every likely to meet! I met him some years ago on a professional basis, and continue to use him as open resource for all contractual needs i have as a creative director. we became firm friends immediately. he app...roaches everything he does with an open and frank honesty and his enthusiasm is utterly refreshing and contagious. john is always there with sensible & smart legal advice. he is incredibly thorough, knowledgable and down to earth. there is no mucking around and zero BS with this kid. he gets the job done, and well. as a lawyer he is utterly profressional and i can not recommend him highly enough!. as a devoted family man they don't come any cooler or classier than he. as a friend and confidant he is peerless. Top Notch Bloke! i recommend him to others constantly. sincerely, Waren A. Elwin

Great attorney!

I engaged John's services for the negotiation of a complex licensing deal for a TV show owned by a governmental agency. This work also included negotiation of synchronization rights for music videos with several well-known national artists. This work had to be completed in a tight time-frame. John's ...work was timely, his advice was spot-on and his communication with myself and our counterparts was superb. This deal would not have gotten done without him. And if that weren't enough, his charges were quite fair. Highest recommendation!

Great Lawyer / Great Person - A rare combo!

Not only is John everything a great lawyer should be: professional, punctual, thorough...he is also everything a great guy should be: kind, patient, enthusiastic. As a client, he was always willing to explain things to me, on his dime, and take as much time as needed to make sure I was comfortable ...with everything. He was a tireless worker and NEVER let anything slip by him. He would write and REWRITE contracts that came through the pipe line making sure that he caught every last nuance so that we, his client, got the best deal. I would highly recommend him.
