Atlanta business and entertainment lawyer with a passion for helping people build their lives, careers, and businesses with the support of the law. My practice includes both transactions and litigation.

I help people build a foundation for success in entrepreneurship through educating and advising clients on the appropriate corporate entity structure, copyright and trademark protection, licensing, brand management, contracts, business strategy, and so much more. Entertainers are inherently entrepreneurs because they are their business!

I am thrilled when clients come across a business opportunity that would help them reach their goals in entrepreneurship and/or entertainment. It is my goal to assist you in successfully negotiating those deals and making strategic decisions to create a better business, build a bigger brand, and protect your rights!

Entertainers have so many rights to protect! It's important to make sure your business and paperwork are in order as you perform and perfect your craft. Your intellectual property is your money! Protect it.

My life motto is "believe and act as if it were impossible to fail," which is instrumental to my work and value as a legal professional.

If you're interested in working with me, please give me a call.
