A lawyer for an artist!

Greg is an excellent lawyer. I sought his counsel before signing contracts and developing my own art business contracts. I can honestly say that he made me feel comfortable and knowledgeable about what contracts means, what they should include, legalese language etc. He explained it in simple terms ...which I really appreciated. He is extremely patient, prompt, and responsive. I was very happy with his service and will continue to seek his counsel in my future endeavors. I highly recommend him!

Great for Designers!

Greg was referred to me by a former colleague as someone who has a depth of knowledge about my industry in particular. This knowledge helps him better understand where designers can get hurt in their contracts and therefore better protect them. He's super available and easy to work with and I give hi...m my highest recommendation!

Thank Goodness

I was happily blindsided by an option agreement on a feature and a mutual friend recommended Greg. Thankfully, he reviewed and revised the agreement saving me from some screenwriter pitfalls that would have kept me up at night. I can’t say enough about his knowledge and responsiveness, not to mention... his insightful understanding of the entertainment field.

Great experience

Working with Greg has been a great experience -- he is responsive, thoughtful, and great at taking into account my specific needs. We have worked together on multiple contracts and each time I feel wholly confident in the final product.

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.
