Client

Nina Nahal Ameri is a fantastic attorney who really cares about her clients and goes above and beyond expectations to do her job. I meet Nina through mutual colleagues and they all spoke high praises of her. I feel she is an exceptional representation of an attorney who does what she loves. Nina is s...killed in protecting her clients and making sure to overcome any obstacles that may arise to attain client's goals. I have a deep respect for Nina and it is an honor to have her serve as legal consul for representing the vision we have for our projects. She truly is a wonderful person and attorney.

By all means

Nina and I worked together on my first feature film. Frankly, the project would have been lost in the seemingly unnavigable waters of Hollywood, if it were not for her patience, competency, and enduring commitment to engage in what she respects: your objective. If you are ever so lucky to happen upon... an opportunity to work with this reliable and genuinely auspicious individual -- I recommend that you don't think twice.

best advise

Excellent consultation. I only didn't rate overall excellent as Nina's services weren't needed so I didn't have the full experience. She is professional, well versed and attentive. As well, she was able to help me pinpoint what I actually needed. I know had I retained Nina's services I would have be...en in great hands.

Posted by Anastasia | April 29, 2014

A no-nonsense attorney.

Nina has served as my entertainment attorney for over three years. I feel extremely confident in her knowledge and capability with regard to the complicated terms and legalities that very often arise when dealing with entertainment law. Not only have I been extremely satisfied with the contracts she ...has drafted for me, but I value her consul as well. I believe she holds my best interests in the immediate as well as has the foresight to plan for various circumstances that may arise. I also appreciate her forthright manner and no nonsense approach. She a fair yet strong negotiator and a valuable person to have in one's corner.
