My situation involved rental property. By implementing Gary's legal advice I was successful in solving the issue before it got to the Judge, and in my favor.
Copyright and trademark licensing and applications
My focus is working with solopreneurs, small businesses, and arts and entertainment professionals (filmmakers, music artists, actors, YouTubers, authors, video game designers, etc.). My clients are unique so my approach to working with them is too. I offer flat-fee and hourly services using a custom framework that places legal issues within the context of the client’s broader needs and goals. In short, I work with my clients to build, grow and protect resilient businesses/careers. In addition to being an attorney I am an author, musician and independent filmmaker.
Services include contract drafting and review, copyrights, production counsel, business entity formation, and more.
