Music Law Representation

I am a composer and needed copyright advice concerning a rather tangled music matter that was cause of many headaches for over a year. Mr. Wilcox was recommended to me by friends due to his vast knowledge in the area that pertained my case: I am very glad I followed that recommendation! After spendi...ng time understanding in depth the nuances of my case, Mr. Wilcox gave me first-class advice. All my questions were addressed in a timely fashion, and the matter was rapidly resolved. I plan to contact him for any future copyright law matter.
