Always a Step Ahead

Rich is always one step ahead of the game. He's constantly staying up-to-date on the latest developments and giving insight to you as the client in the entertainment industry, letting you as the client benefit from knowing how to proceed. He's always prepared to tackle any challenge that presents its...elf.

Accessible and Approachable

Rich is always accessible and approachable. He made me feel comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification. Would highly recommend.

Posted by Ali | August 03, 2024 | Hired Attorney

A Trusted Advisor

Rich is an excellent lawyer and trusted advisor. During my case he went above and beyond to explain legal concepts in detail so I could make informed decisions about what I wanted to do next. There were times he could've just told me what we were doing but instead he sat down and spoke with me at len...gth about things. It took all the stress out of my case. I wouldn't hire anyone but Rich in the future.

Entertainment Law Guru

Rich is a true entertainment law guru. He did an amazing job on a record deal, negotiated favorable terms. I wouldn’t trust anyone to protect my artistic talents than Rich.

Posted by Aiden | August 02, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Entertainment

Navigating Entertainment Law

Rich's knowledge of entertainment law is unparalleled. He guided me through complex contracts, ensuring my interests were protected. Works alongside you and takes the time to explain things so you understand.

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.
