Choosing Legal Representation

Specialized expertise matters: Adult industry law is unique. Choose attorneys with specific adult entertainment experience, not general practice lawyers.
2257 compliance is critical: All US adult producers must comply. Your attorney should be expert in record-keeping requirements and custodian of records.
Contract review is essential: Never sign performer contracts, production agreements, or licensing deals without legal review.
Budget appropriately: Legal fees vary widely. Solo practitioners may charge less than large firms, but consider expertise level needed.
First Amendment protection: For content disputes or censorship issues, choose attorneys with strong First Amendment litigation experience.
