Dodging the Bullet

I am most appreciative for Rahim's ability to offer straightforward, honest counsel. He recently saved me from a frontloaded contract that would have practically made me a slave for the next four years. I look forward to working with him in the future, and I strongly recommend him for anyone seeking ...advisory assistance. I meet with three other lawyers concerning this deal, but ultimately it was his breakdown of the contract that lead me to my final decision.

Awesome Entertainment Attorney!

First of all, Rahim Smith was the first attorney that actually cared if I succeeded in the music industry. He asked me questions that no one had ever asked me, and provided extensive detail on the importance of publishing, royalties, and accounting. He truly assisted me in getting my music placed, an...d reviewed my contract with my publishing company. I have nothing but positive things to about him. An awesome attorney!

Great attorney!

Mr. Smith was very knowledgeable about the music industry. He was honest and straightforward, and was very patient in helping me set up my record label. He was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. He made contacts with producers on my behalf and I still consult with him to this day dealing wi...th music. I definitely would recommend his services!

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.

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.
