This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fantastic source of information and advice for an artist setting out in the entertainment industry

As a novelist self-publishing for the first time, I didn't know what I didn't know about copyright protection and infringement, or even such dangers as unintentional defamation. Kevin helped me navigate those waters, performing a complete review of my book, and giving me the feedback I needed to mak...e informed decisions about the level of risk I was willing to undertake. In so doing, he (in a way) trained me regarding what is and isn't safe to put into print, thus helping me avoid altogether such pitfalls in my projects that followed. And always, his explanations were offered in a manner I could easily understand, despite my inability to speak legalese. Since that first book, he has performed additional reviews for me, and has assisted in securing several other copyrights and trademarks. On a personal level, he is positive and friendly, easy to work with, and fun to use as a sounding board for new projects that strike my fancy. I look forward to working with him for many years to come!

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.
