Richard thanks for the soft ball question. In the sense of full disclosure, I asked Richard for some advice on who to network with and how to network in the adult industry. He gave me some great advice on how to proceed, like posting on sites like this.
As for my legal back ground, I went to law school at George Mason in Fairfax, VA. In law school I interned with a public defenders office and was a legal assistant to a private attorney. Then out of law school I worked on for a Congressman from around Pittsburgh, PA. I helped him with general constitutional law issues including the First Amendment and general criminal law. After that I worked for commercial debt collection agency for about 7 years and then 4 years ago I opened my own practice. Since that time I have worked for several clients in adult entertainment helping them with writing contracts, copyright and employment law matters. One day I hope to be able to help out on First Amendment and criminal law matters but right now I am comfortable working on business, contract, employment law, copyright and other non-criminal trial law matters. Also, since I am going it solo, and if you happen to be in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia or South Carolina and have any other non-adult entertainment law concern like a will or something, I will gladly help you out.
