Trusted and Experienced Counsel

Richard has been advising my entertainment/production company for years. From the start he helped me set up the LLC and drafted the Operating Agreement. After restructuring a few years later, he again directed me in the legal process and guided me through rewriting the Operating Agreement. Rich...ard's expertise knows no bounds and he has reviewed numerous MSAs and contracts for me including complicated licensing documents. He's always been a trusted resource and alerts me to any red-lines I should consider more closely. I still regard Richard as an important confidant for my business to this day to advise me on all my legal issues.

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.
