    Most law firms still cling to an outdated model: layers of administrators, paralegals, and support staff doing the tasks the attorneys think are “beneath them.” All that overhead doesn’t serve the client — and today, it's simply unnecessary. Sturgeon Law is built differently — on a modern foundation.
  • WE 🟰 💻 💬 🤖 ⌚ 🚀

    We utilize the latest legal software and AI tech — workflow, case management, research, drafting, and communication tools — but always with a conscientious, human touch. This allows us to streamline the workload, move information where it needs to go, and eliminate needless inefficiencies.
  • YOU 🟰 🏖️ 🍹 💆

    Our substantial front-end investment in our back-end tech means more dedicated focus on your case, less wasted time and effort, and costs that reflect the value you’re getting — not the size of our payroll. Our model is sharper, leaner, and better aligned with our clients’ real priorities. We're confident you'll agree.

PRIMARY PRACTICE AREAS ⚖️

  • ENTERTAINMENT LAW

    Creativity is big business — and the rules are evolving fast, especially with the recent AI boom. I work with artists, influencers, producers, athletes, and creators navigating the high-stakes world of entertainment, media, and NIL deals. From contracts to endorsements to compliance, Sturgeon Law brings savvy big-firm chops with the agility of a boutique shop. The result? Maximize your opportunity, minimize your risk, and keep you ahead of the curve every step of the way.
  • ESTATE PLANNING

    Estate planning isn’t paperwork — it’s peace of mind. I help clients cut through the noise to design estate and end-of-life plans that actually work: clear, streamlined, and built to avoid familial disputes, tax traps, and needless complexity. Whether it’s a straightforward will + healthcare directive, or a multi-layered trust structure, my focus is on future-proofing your assets and legacy, while making the process as painless as possible for you and your loved ones.
  • ASSET PROTECTION

    Between sports betting apps, shiny new tech toys, travel splurges, and on and on, sometimes the biggest threat to your wealth isn’t a lawsuit or creditor — it’s you (and your dopamine center). I designed the exclusive Caviar Asset Protection Trust specifically to lock down your assets, grow them strategically, and keep them out of reach — from predators, opportunists, and even your own impulses.
  • BUSINESS & NONPROFIT

    Launching a business or nonprofit should feel bold, not buried in red tape. As an entrepreneur myself, I know exactly how to help founders get off the ground with smart structures, clean governance, and compliance that doesn’t choke creativity. And when disputes come knocking, I'll fight to keep your momentum alive. I’ve lived business from the inside, and I'll protect what you’re building.
  • PERSONAL INJURY

    Having defended serious personal injury, product liability, and wrongful death cases at a large litigation firm, I know how the other side thinks and moves. I use that insight to craft strategies built for tough fights — not quick payouts. If you’re looking for an advocate who will take your complex, difficult case and push it forward with precision, creativity, and innovation — while being an absolute bulldog in settlement negotiations and the courtroom — then you're in the right place.
