TOM J. MANOS: It's absolutely crucial to have an attorney onboard whenever you're doing any transactions in the entertainment industry. There are all kinds of horror stories of people that have entered into bad deals, people that I've known personally who have had national hit records, where they were paid 50 bucks to do a vocal track. So it's very important to have an attorney onboard from the very beginning to protect your rights. As an entertainment lawyer, I represent singers and musicians, actors, models, record companies, labels, producers. And I try to help them in all of their entertainment needs. Whether it's a company that needs some sophisticated help in a licensing transaction or an artist who needs some help navigating through the minefields of an entertainment contract, I can provide all of those services for my clients. As an attorney, I want to see my clients succeed. As a person and as a musician, I have a special sensitivity to what they're going through. I've been there. And I've paid my dues. And I know how difficult it is. And so I want to help them to avoid some of the heartbreaks that I went through in the industry and to try to make it more pleasant for them to achieve their results.
