Helped in the Music Biz Jungle

The music business is a jungle, especially for an indie artist like me. I was totally lost in the legal stuff, contracts and royalties and everything else. Then I found Rich. He was like a guide through the jungle, chopping through the legal vines and making sure I wasn't getting eaten alive by the i...ndustry sharks. He's got your back, no matter how crazy things get.

A Force to Be Reckoned With

Rich Pawelczyk is a force to be reckoned with. Smart on the law and knows the fine details. Savvy with difficult situations and knows how to get results. If you're looking for an IP or entertainment lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, Rich is your guy.

A Lawyer Who Actually Gets It

A lot of lawyers don't get the creative world, but Rich is different. As a musician he understands the passion and struggles. That makes a huge difference when you're dealing with legal issues in the entertainment industry. He knows the lingo, the players, the whole scene.

A True Asset

Rich is a true asset to his clients. Dedicated advocate, a skilled negotiator, and a results-oriented lawyer. Have used him several times now for complex matters and each instance is excellent.

Protecting Long Island Creations

Rich did an excellent job on my case. Hired him to secure my idea from competitor copycats. Did exactly that with no hassle. Great to deal with and happy with all of his services.
