Client Reviews
Brian-Michael H. April 22, 2020
Max is a highly effective entertainment attorney Max Hass is an amazing attorney who has dedicated himself to providing affordable entertainment law resources to the New Orleans Cultural and Musical communities. He is extremely responsive to the needs of the community in a proactive manner such as offering pro bono informational sessions to the cultural community on issues such as copyright, music and image licensing, and contract negotiation. Additionally, in my other profession as a filmmaker, Max has done an efficient and effective job helping me negotiate, secure funding, and he has put me in touch with other movie industry professionals as an effort to advance my career through networking and film festival exposure. I would recommend Max as a full service entertainment attorney.

A Smart, Competent, Attentive Lawyer When a film that I produced was being sold and exhibited in an illegal manner, Max helped me pursue the guilty party in a timely fashion and at a fair price. He patiently answered any questions or concerns that I or my production partners had throughout the entire process, and we are 100% satisfied with the protection that he helped provide for our project. I highly recommend Max and his services. He's a swell guy.
