Firm Information
Overview
Singer Weinsten Wolf & Jonelis LLP — formerly Lavely & Singer, and continuing in its over-45-year legacy with the same guiding attorneys — is one of the world's premier talent-side entertainment and business litigation firms.
Continuing in its over-45-year legacy with the same guiding attorneys, Singer Weinsten Wolf & Jonelis (formerly Lavely & Singer) is renowned for our unyielding representation of A-list clients, entertainment innovators, public figures, business leaders and high net worth individuals, in high-stakes cases. The firm represents a vast array of clients including a lion's share of Hollywood's most famous, celebrated and prestigious actors, producers, directors, writers, recording artists and other individuals and entities in and affiliated with the entertainment industry. We generally do not represent the studios, networks, or major labels, concentrating principally on the unique needs of individuals -- talent, public figures and business leaders.
The firm's practice encompasses entertainment and business litigation in State and Federal Courts, including intellectual property, copyright and trademark litigation, media law, right of publicity and privacy law, defamation, contract disputes, business disputes and torts, real estate law, employment law, Internet-domain name law, and more, and in matters before specialized tribunals such as the California Labor Commissioner proceedings and the arbitration boards of the Hollywood talent guilds. The Daily Journal has named the firm (renamed, in 2026) one of the top boutiques in California.
We are tenacious problem-solvers for our clients. Our team of skilled and fierce litigators have a reputation for achieving results. Founded by California’s leading authorities in entertainment and privacy law, including by Martin “Marty” Singer, our attorneys are committed to providing clients with the highest level of legal service in the dynamic and ever-changing fields of entertainment and business litigation, and reputation and brand protection.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
