Sound Advice & Quick Execution

I can't think of anyone more capable then Jacob Hicks. He has consistently made himself available to lend his professional opinion and services with short notice. My artist needed an important contract to be reviewed and finalized, of course the time table was tight. Jacob didn't miss a beat and deli...vered sound advice quickly and handled all negotiations. A true professional across the board.

Great legal advice in entertainment!

Jacob's legal counsel and ability to negotiate terms of contracts on my behalf has been immensely helpful to me as a young music producer. After first working with him to negotiate an artist management contract, I contacted him regarding a music licensing agreement and he helped me better understand ...the legal nature of said agreement. Jacob is friendly, knowledgeable, and diligent in his legal practice, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance in the entertainment industry.

Phenomenal Attorney!

Being a young entrepreneur I was faced with a challenging and daunting legal situation. Jacob Hicks provided me with legal assistance that not only assisted me with my situation, but put me at ease. He truly went the extra mile and I feel incredibly fortunate to have hired him. He is an extraordinari...ly talented attorney who brought me exceptional results. The end result of the situation was in my favour and all of Jacob’s counsel was focused, wise, knowledgable and delivered with integrity. His results only reflect his incredible skill set. Thanks again Jacob! I will gladly refer you to my friends, family and business associates.
