David helped me negotiate a documentary with the BBC. His knowledge and skill with the development and legal affairs were remarkable.

DAVID DAVOLI REVIEW

I would highly recommend David Davoli. He is prompt in responding to your legal needs, something that is sorely lacking in regards to most attorney's. David provides excellent guidance in explaining your options in important legal matters. He is someone you would want on your side, when you need the ...services of a lawyer

A great entertainment lawyer

Everyone disparages attorneys until they need a good one. David Davoli is one of the most honest, hard working and acknowlegeable attorneys in the entertainment business. He's smart, intuitive, infinitely knowledgeable. No matter what has come up on the four projects on which he has represented me..., he was always ahead of the game and knew precisely what needed to be done. He's negotiated deals on Movies of the Week, a drama series, a co-production on a feature film with complex foreign partnerships, even book and publishing deals. He's a gentleman, a class act - you can't say enough good things about him. One of the best anywhere.

Davoli Law works!

I have worked with David Davoli over the last three years and have the highest regard for his professionalism, entertainment-industry knowledge and well-reasoned legal advice. He has served on a number of panels I've organized for independent filmmakers on film financing as well as providing legal a...ssistance regarding a startup venture. In both areas, Mr. Davoli has demonstrated a thorough command of the legal and business issues at issue.
