Over the course of my career, I have established a reputation for excellence as a litigator  in all aspects of the entertainment industry. Many of my new cases are referred to me by satisfied clients for whom I obtained a favorable settlement through my alternative dispute resolution expertise or through my deep and broad experience as a litigator for both plaintiffs and defendants. I also routinely receive referrals from fellow entertainment attorneys in Los Angeles, New York, and elsewhere around the United States.
