Knowledgeable with Clear Communication

Michael is very knowledgeable and communicated clearly the specifics of what I needed and didn't need for my short film. He had great response time leading up to our consultation call and was a pleasure to talk with. I would highly recommend and look forward to using his services in the future!

Michael did a excellent job for us on our TV Show

Michael did work for us in fair use approvals for a reality show series and we appreciated his efficiency, knowledge and prompt attention.

CEO Burning sky films

Fantastic. Michael handled all the legal on a feature film project of mine. This included transactional work with talent contracts, Unions, distribution agreements and pretty much anything that popped up. He was always reachable when needed. Would definitely highly recommend his services.

Consistently Fantastic -- Michael's a real pro

We've worked with Michael pretty regularly for the past several years in various capacities on film productions and every time he has proven himself to be extremely professional. He brings useful/original ideas to the table whether it be with getting the most out of our agreements with vendors, prote...cting ourselves, or setting up and developing new projects. I can't recommend him strongly enough!
