Orlando, Florida
Personal Introduction
After serving as a trial attorney in two prominent litigation firms, I established Player Entertainment Law in 2000. In addition to the transactional aspects of business and entertainment law, I have considerable experience in civil litigation and appellate law, having litigated thousands of cases and having handled over a hundred appeals in the Florida courts. I also play bass guitar and did so professionally for many years, and I attribute my experiences as a professional musician to giving me considerable insight into the music business and an appreciation of the industry from a musician’s perspective.
