Entertainment Law

Runway modelA Miami Entertainer & Trusted Attorney

Our founding attorney, Tom Manos, has enjoyed performing music since he was a child, and spent years performing professionally, recording as a studio musician, and engineering and producing records. Later, Tom's vigor for practicing law, coupled with his passion for music has led to a recording studio of his own and a unique perspective to be able to provide creative legal services to creative people.

Unable to get music out of his system, he has even formed a classic rock lawyer-band, appropriately called The Motions which performs at charitable fund-raising events and other local venues.

At Tom J. Manos, P.A., we understand how performers, musicians, and industry people think, and we offer the legal resources to help them achieve their goals.
