ARTIST MANAGER

Alan was the front line attorney handling a very complex and detailed renegotiation of an artist recording agreement with a major label, his attention to detail, timely responses and understanding of complex language was an essential asset in our representation. In addition several video agreements w...ere negotiated on our behalf with all the same qualities in representing our interests and closing the deals, in a timely efficient and cost appropriate basis.

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.
