Has anyone here ever used an Entertainment Lawyer for their stuff? I'd like to hear some talk about how much they charge and HOW they charge (percentage/flat fee/etc)..
 
HERE IS MY 2 CENTS: I haven't worked with a lawyer but I was thinking of trying to find one - NEW to the field. For instance, I was cool with this chick that was in Law School and she was doing Entertainment Law. Now, we fell out something kind of awful!!! But, if we were still on speaking terms - . . . well, my plan was to get with her at least for a trial basis and we could both be each other's guinea pigs sort to speak . .. I know there is a lot to risk with this approach, but at the same time - depending on the marketing plan adn target audience you are trying to "go for" - it may work.

Like I said, just a thought . . .
 
I have more if needed... also i know a Ent. Lawyer here in the D.M.V area (DC, MD, VA) that will be glad to help out..

most ent. lawyers charge by hour anywhere from $75 - $300 hrs. ..some do % of deals made by their parts...just do some research..google is your friend :D
