Copyright Infringement mitigation assistance

I had a run in with a copyright attorney recently, for torrenting a movie online. They came at me with a potential copyright infringement lawsuit. After some research on the matter, I found Paul through Antonelli Law. After a semi brief consultation, I felt comfortable moving forward with his repre...sentation. He was able to help avoid an official court case in a timely manner, and was able to get the settlement lowered to the bare minimum. I would certainly recommend him to anyone going through a similar situation.

Targeted by Joe Hand Productions

I was targeted by Joe Hand Productions for showing a UFC match. I was pissed because how was I supposed to know they had the rights to license the matches..Paul explained everything to me, which I appreciated. I still thought the situation was crap, but I needed to resolve it. He got me through it an...d the outcome was reasonable. Glad I found him.

Very Helpful

I would definitely recommend Mr. Sanders. He was very helpful throughout the process. I am older and the stress is not good for me. He kept me calm and I felt comfortable enough to trust him with the entire thing.

Great Attorney

This experience was one of the most stressful experiences I have ever dealt with. Mostly because it came out of no where and I have never been in trouble with the law like this before. From the beginning, Mr. Sanders was so nice and calming. I know he stayed on the phone with longer than he had to j...ust to make sure I was ok. Although I remained stressed, he put me at ease with his knowledge, confidence, and sincerity. The entire process took about 2 1/2 weeks and I was so grateful when it was over. He is a great attorney.

Strike 3 Holdings, LLC

Unfortunately, I was one of those people who believed what they saw on the internet on sites such as reddit and other forums. I did not do anything when I received th notice from my isp. Several months later I was served. I was more stressed than ever. I spoke to three different attorneys, but Antone...lli Law made me feel most at ease. I called and spoke with a receptionist. Mr. Sanders called me back instantly. He was very friendly and was very straightforward, which I appreciate in an attorney. He spoke like he knew what he was talking about. He did ask me why I did not do anything when I first received the notice and I was honest with him. He told me to always consult an attorney, and that things online can be wrong or misleading. He did not make me feel stupid for listening to online forums, but he stressed that it could put you in worse situations. I settled the matter outside of court, and what I paid was close to what Mr. Sanders indicated. I am glad taht I found Antonelli Law because they made a horrible experience, slightly better.
