Entertainment Attorney - Feature Film

Abbott and I have worked together for over a year on a feature film (www.KentonBartlett.com). She works as our entertainment attorney. Though she began work on the project early in her career, she took on the challenge full-heartedly and let no obstacle stand in her way. If she didn't know the ans...wer to a particular problem, she found the solution immediately. Her turnaround on legal documents and overall responsiveness is unsurpassed. She's both friendly and professional. She continues to work on our project pro-bono with the enthusiasm and pro-activeness of a top-paid legal adviser. If you have the chance to work with Abbott, you're making a mistake to pass it up. Feel free to contact for a personable evaluation of Abbott: [contact information removed]

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.
