Brian Joseph Meli headshot
Brian Meli

Communications and media lawyer | Mar 03

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Doug has probably forgotten more about communications and entertainment law than most other lawyers will ever know. I consider him the pre-eminent expert in the field. He is also an accomplished speaker, and one of the more enjoyable people in the industry to talk to (and learn from). I recommend him wholeheartedly."

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.
