Posted by Delman | January 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Entertainment

The most thorough entertainment lawyer around

I am so thankful I was referred to Adia May to review a series of entertainment contracts and to advise me on how to best navigate an television opportunity I was considering. Attorney May exhibited a depth of knowledge and expertise that saved me a great deal of time, effort, and costly decision ma...king. She was very accessible and responsive. I HIGHLY recommend her without reservation.

She's amazing!

Attorney May helped us through a very trying time as first time filmmakers. The Jerico Movie Production went smoother than anticipated due to her wealth of knowledge and execution of invaluable documents for big time talent needed to legitimize our production. We know that we are protected by tho...se documents executed by this outstanding attorney. We are all in high hopes of getting this film distributed as a result of her hard work and dedication to this project.

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.
