Neil A. Sussman

Neil has been my attorney for almost 30 years. In that time he's done my entertainment taxes (saving me thousands of dollars), negotiated and advised on numerous contracts (and taught me what to avoid), handled a small inheritance that attracted the IRS for an audit, helped with copyrights, and saved... me untold grief with his recommendations. I have learned a great deal from Neil regarding the various entertainment contracts I've been faced with both personally and in my job. I pulled Neil in for my boss when we were in need of astute advice and from that day on Neil was the company's attorney (about 10 years until my boss retired). Quite frankly, I don't make a move without consulting Neil first. I've recommended him to many friends and colleagues and will continue to do so. I look forward to the next 25+ years.

We have used Neil for more than twenty years and recommend him to friends. Neil taught a Taxes for Artists (all genres) class through WVLA (Wa. Lawyers for the Arts) that helped me organize and understand the financial aspects of my writing business. On the basis of this work we hired him as our att...orney. Since then, he has helped us with our taxes every year, as well as with a variety of estate planning issues. In every case Neil has been amazingly efficient, clear, and even cheerful. (This includes our own wills, medical directives, and power of attorney, and settling the estate of one of our parents.)

I contacted Neil to assist me with legal matters wiht my business. He was referred to me by a friend. Based on his advice I launched a lawsuit in another state. It turns out that the venue of the lawsuit is not appropriate and 2 other lawyers have no idea why he directed me to start a suit in another... state. He has cost me valuable time and money.
