Awesome Entertainment Lawyer

I'm an independent filmmaker who had several questions and concerns about crew and talent contracts. Not only did Toni address my questions, but she willingly provided additional information that I had not yet considered. She was very patient, knowledgeable, and kind. In addition to the above, she a...lso had a fast turnaround time, even considering her office was coming out of a long holiday break. I would definitely recommend Toni L Long to anyone looking for an entertainment lawyer.

Prompt, thorough, responsive and diligent

Toni Long has been a wonderful attorney. She has performed numerous contract reviews and/or creations for me, managed formation of a legal entity, and promptly represented my interests when a business associate grossly violated the terms of our contract. She is thorough, very responsive and dilige...nt in her work, and fierce when you need her to be. I have been a client nearly three years and am very pleased with Toni's representation.

Business Purchase Negotiations

I found Toni thanks to the great reviews about her I read on Avvo, and now I find myself adding one! I just purchased a 20 year old business. Toni explained to me the process very clearly from the very beginning and with her colleague Frederick she guided me through the obstacles of the negotiation. ...The sellers gave me a few challenges, but Toni and Frederick protected me along the way. The two of them have always been matter of fact, quick yet friendly. I found them very professional and efficient.

Senior Civil Engineer

My friend referred me to Toni after I spoke to her about the need for a corporate attorney to chat about a work contract from an international engineering firm with a local office in Los Angeles. I spoke to Toni about my request and she knew immediately what I needed. She connected me with her team e...xpert on tax related questions for US work contracts and the two together were able to assist me with next steps to take with my employer. I'll tell you this, with just their advice alone, I was able to negotiate with my employer and come to an agreement that satisfied both parties. I am grateful for Toni and her team for their ease with excellence and it would be a pleasure for me to work with her and her team again in the future. Perhaps, next in entertainment!

Contract Review

Working with Tony has been fantastic! I hired Tony for a contract review, and from our first consultation, I knew I made the right choice reaching out to her. She was incredibly timely and helpful, answering all my questions and taking the time to lay out a clear strategy to protect my intellectual p...roperty. Throughout the review, Tony was incredibly knowledgeable, prompt, and professional. I look forward to working with her again!

Avvo Rating

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.
