Contracts, licensing and entertainment law make up the bulk of my legal career. I started out in the Technology Procurement of Metlife negotiating licenses for computers, software and consulting services. MetLife provided me with a solid professional foundation, but all the contracts I worked on related to Y2K hysteria, so I have no idea if the company ever needed any of the projects I worked on.. Central Park Media gave me my first real taste of entertainment licensing. I handled their copyright, trademark and talent agreements, but most of my work involved securing the rights to anime and manga from Japan. Our catalog included everything from the painfully tragic Grave of the Fireflies to the infamous Legend of the Overfiend. I also got a bit of exposure writing third party licenses when we sold off rights in territories we couldn’t reach.. In 2002, Marvel brought me in to handle their new international publishing department. My main function was helping Marvel break into the Japanese market, but I also managed the licenses for Marvel books and merchandise in Europe, South America, and the Middle East. In addition, I drafted many of the exclusive talent deals Marvel began to set up around the time Ultimatesstarted to gain traction. I left Marvel soon after Ultimates,X-men and Spider-Man deals were established in Japan.. I started to focus on my nightlife writing and my own legal practice after leaving Marvel. I got a daytime position to pay the bills and started my own publishing company called Nightlife Publishing. The first project I tried was a nightlife magazine called New York Nights. That ran online for about five years, but I shut it down because of lack of revenue. In 2010, I published Seize the Nightbased on what I’d learned about nightlife industry and culture working on the magazine. Releasing a nonfiction book exposed me to the self-publishing process which inspired me to write my own fiction and release it through Nightlife Publishing.. As I built my publishing catalog, I also began helping freelance professionals and small businesses with their contracts and licensing issues. I’ve given lectures at the University of Albany and Comics Experience and helped negotiate creator-owned deals, publishing agreements, and consulting contracts. C3 is an expansion of that work. My goal is to help freelancers understand their legal position and give them the tools to get the most out of their work.

We are a referral based firm working with  public and private clients on a range of business, procurement and legislative matters. I have been fortunate enough to gain broad experience in legal and business issues involving engineering, architecture and construction. I spent some thirteen years with the Sundt Companies and its subsidiary Sundt Construction, Inc. a firm consistently ranked by Engineering News Record among the top 75 construction companies in the United as Senior Counsel and then managing Sundt Construction’s Southern Arizona Office, I secured an understanding of construction law and the construction industry that I believe is uncommon among attorneys.. As Senior Counsel I worked on a variety of commercial, contract and litigation matters and furnished legal services to profit centers at project sites and area offices both here and abroad. As a Profit Center Manager I gained a real understanding of the issues and pressures business people in the construction industry face. As an attorney, I focus on practical, business oriented solutions and work with clients to help them not only avoid problems, but identify opportunities..

I believe in what I do for a living.   The legal process is sometimes simple, but often complex; sometimes fair, and somtimes less than fair.   I always do my best to be as open, honest and up front with new and existing clients about the best way to get from "Point A to Point B," whether that's drafting a new contract, negotiating the purchase and sale of real estate or a business, or deciding to fight or settle a dispute in court.   There are times to stand on principal, but there are also times to focus on the most important four letter word in law:  M-A-T-H.   A good attorney seperates the people from the problem, removes emotion from the analysis, and guides his or her client to the most reasonable path forward.  In many disputes, the best way to guarantee a result you can live with, is to find a way to stay out of the courtroom, but sometimes, you need a team of litigators to take your case to trial.  My partners and serve clients primarly along the I-95 and I-4 Corridors from the Greater Orlando Area to Daytona Beach, and from Flagler to Brevard, but we also handle matters statewide for clients and serve as co-counsel on out of state matters.
