Good consultation with this attorney.

Mr. Tristan Robinson called me from his office and gave me a free consolation about copyright and publishing my book. We talked for some time. He was a good listener and advised me on information

Tristan Robinson is an excellent atty. for entertainment law

Mr. Robinson replied with a lengthy answer to my question concerning a book I was writing about a famous author. He offered advice that I used to start the process of securing the author's permission. If you need a lawyer in publishing a book, music, or any other entertainment copyright advice, I... recommend this lawyer. He seems to really care about his clients. Thank you for your attention to this matter. J. A. C.

Reality TV Contract

I was approached by a Texas production company about doing a reality television show and started searching for attorneys. NO ONE seemed to know what they were talking about until I came across Mr. Robinson. We had something like over an hour long conference with the production company where Mr. Ro...binson represented me and ultimately negotiated an AWESOME deal for me. The guy clearly knows show business and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to get into it.

Rock Star Lawyer for Musicians

Tristan is an AWESOME lawyer for musicians. He helped our indie label get off the ground in just about every way. He handled trademarks for our bands and studios and copyrights for our songs. Helped us get all the proper licenses in place to make sure we were protected when we knew nothing about t...he music business. Very smart, cool and patient guy who really seems to care about his clients.

copyright infringement case

I downloaded a copyrighted material and received a settlement offer of 300$ from CEG TEK. I found Mr. Robinson on avvo and based on the information that I gathered from internet and his advice I decided to settle the case. My objective was that I did not want to admit to any wrongdoing in the release... form which unfortunately was not completely eliminated from the form (I am not sure how negotiable that was but we were not 100% successful). He was kind and did not charge me for an extra fee while other attorneys are really expensive. We agreed that I would pay him the whole amount and he could keep the amount he could negotiate to be saved on my behalf.

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.
