Owner of Refresh Music Group LLC

There isn’t much that Jalani doesn’t know. His knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. His response time is the best I have ever seen in this business. He wasn’t only able to deliver on a contract I needed but he asked me questions that I was not aware of that helped me so much. His understanding... of the business is unmatched. Highly recommend.

A Fire Attorney!!!

I've had the privilege of working with Jelani on three separate occasions, primarily within the entertainment industry. From securing a contract with Snoop & Wiz to protecting my intellectual property, Jelani has consistently delivered exceptional results. Not only have I been delighted with his serv...ices, but I also recommended him to my employer, who experienced the same outstanding outcomes. Words can't express how grateful I am for Jelani's expertise and dedication to his clients. He truly is an exceptional attorney.

Exceptional Contract Expertise with Personalized Service!

Jelani has helped me craft templates for client contracts for my different services and strategic partner relationships. He went through a discovery process to ensure he understood exactly what I needed. His process also helped me clarify what I wanted to contract to do for me. Mr. James has also hel...ped me review licensing agreements and adjust them so that my interest was also served.

My Entertainment Lawyer

As a music producerI was seeking an entertainment lawyer and came across Jelani and since then he has been the Best lawyer I could ask for. He has helped and guided me through each Contract agreement and made it so i was able to get the best deal out of each opportunity. He is responsive, and very ac...tive when it comes to his work and shown that he has put clients best interest first. We have been working together for over a year and I have been happy knowing that I have a Juggernaut behind me on each deal & contract. He’s helped with many Industry contracts like Jackboy/ Keed/ Karlae/ LilDouble 0/B Slime Etc Would definitely Recommend if in need of a lawyer

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.
