Entertainment law

Larae helped my company to recoup funds that we didn't know were owed to us from sound exchange, publishing etc. She was very informative and gave exercises and homework to help me understand where and how the funds accumulated.

Posted by anonymous | March 04, 2012 | Contracts & Agreements

comletely and utterly satisfied

She was always available to address my every legal need, even though I hired her for a contract matter almost a year before. If I ever had a question thereafter, she had an answer. She was honest and very thoughtful, always providing me with additional information as she learned it to assist me in ev...ery way possible. The thing I liked most about her was that she was personable, a quality lacking in most attorneys I have come across.

An attorney who genuinely cares about her clients...

Most independent filmmakers are not wealthy; they passionately pursue the art well aware of the income instability that ensues. With Attorney Lerae Funderburg in my corner I, at least, had some peace of mind in knowing that the legal aspects of my production were in tact. The inclusion of her service...s at the start of my production was a wise investment. She was thoroughly knowledgeable about book option deals; she ALWAYS kept me informed of the progress of the deal; she advised me of possible pitfalls and then recommended safeguards; she responded promptly to all e-mails. I could go on, but I'll conclude by stating that I am overjoyed to have had someone recommend her to me. And, I don't doubt that you'll feel the same way now that I am recommending her to you.

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.
