I spent over 10 years in the entertainment industry as CEO of an artist management and consulting company before turning my career toward law. The years I spent learning the nuances of the entertainment industry gave me a solid understanding of the needs of entertainment professionals and business owners of all types.
Today, I blend my own experiences with the entertainment industry and my knowledge of the practice of law, that comes with my family’s 40-year history providing legal services, to focus on representing business owners, entrepreneurs, investors, entertainers and entertainment companies, athletes, artists and families.
I am here to help you with the matters that are often the biggest financial and personally valuable investments of your life. My focus is in handling matters related to your business, real estate transactions and estate planning.
