    Review Ivan Parron

    Highly Recommended to hire this guy!! Legit, Legit, Legit

    Posted by

    I am in the music business and Ivan Parron is a legend. I was in a record deal that went south quick, and Ivan handled my situation like a professional. He got me out of my deal in 9 months, and got the IPs on all of 18 songs. He understands the need of each client, moves fast, and understands law. He has been in the business for a long time, and he works with a lot of athletes, musicians, and Trademark law. He also helped me with the trademark for my brand. This guy is a great lawyer, and has also become a mentor to me to help me understand what I am signing. Hire Ivan, trust me, he closes and gets the job done.

    Overwhelmed by the humility and the humanity of such a young, successful Lawyer!

    Posted by

    I had questions because since screenwriting is a new field, an entirely new world. I was as anyone would be intimidated by the awards and pictures of famous actors in hit shows. To my pleasant surprise Lidia and Jackie greeted me as if we had been old friends. What a great example of what a winning team represents. As much as I am aware that I am a small fry in a Big Mac world no one at Parron Law made me feel that way. Ivan is a 5 star attorney and also a gentleman that I highly recommend!
