IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE:
* OUR LAW FIRM ONLY PROVIDES AGENTING FOR ESTABLISHED AUTHORS, AND IT IS ON A FLAT FEE OR HOURLY BASIS (NO CONTINGENCY ARRANGEMENTS).
* WE DO NOT ASSIST AUTHORS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.
* PUT \"ESTABLISHED AUTHOR\" OR \"LEGAL HELP REQUESTED\" IN THE SUBJECT LINE IF YOU CONTACT US BY EMAIL.
* WE DO NOT PROVIDE AGENTING FOR NEW AUTHORS.
We do not provide agenting for new authors except for when there is a legal matter involved that requires an attorney (such as a literary scam, intellectual property matter, or contract dispute).
NEW AUTHORS: If you are a first-time author looking for agenting only and don\'t have a legal problem requiring attorney assistance, we recommend that you search for and retain a literary agent who charges on a commission basis only.

ATTORNEY FEES:
Entertainment Attorneys, unlike non-attorney agents, are licensed by the state and can charge on commission/contingency, by the hour, a flat fee, or a combination of fee plans.
Our law firm charges by the hour or on a flat-fee basis for all legal services. We do not work on contingency or commission.
New authors needing agenting only who do not have a legal problem requiring an attorney are encouraged to seek out and retain agenting services that require payment on a commission/contingency basis only.
Due to the high volume, we no longer provide free literary consultations. We charge by the hour or on a flat fee basis for literary consultations and services.
