Accept no substitutes, no imitations.  Your music is a reflection of years of toil and dedication to your craft. It is your passion.  Legal representation is a critical element of furthering the artistic and commercial success of your art.  The music business is a business.  If you have any doubts, the rock and roll landscape is littered with plenty of one‑hit wonders who lacked the wherewithal to retain counsel who not only understood music law but also the history and love for music.  Your counsel MUST possess the same knowledge, dedication, and passion you have for your music.  Scan my academic and legal experience.  Read my concert reviews.  Ask your brethren in the music industry (e.g., Bruce Kulick of Kiss, Will Calhoun of Living Colour, Steve “Zetro” Souza of Hatriot/Exodus/Dublin Death Patrol, Michael Bluestein of Foreigner, Gary Holt of Exodus, Derek Sherinian of the Billy Idol Band/Kiss/Alice Cooper, Dream Theater, Dave Brockie of Gwar).  I will let my work product, experience, and the opinion of others about me speak for itself.  Talk is cheap.  Results and the opinion of others are worth their weight in gold and platinum, sales status reflecting the barometer of the commercial success your counsel should help you attain.
