About Bernie Dietz, Esq.

Experienced Internet Lawyer

Choosing a lawyer can be a difficult process.  Obviously, you want to retain someone that is experienced, knowledgeable, responsive and effective.  If you're looking for an Internet attorney or web lawyer for an online business issue, we believe you have come to the right place.  But don't take our word for it -  read what one of our clients had to say:

"Bernie Dietz has been my business advisor since 1999. I don't negotiate or even consider a deal without his advice and guidance. He writes all my contracts. Bernie keeps me away from bad deals, and he helps shape every deal so it's profitable. A key to this is Bernie's sixth sense: almost instantly, he sees whether a potential client will waste my time and cost me money. There are no tricks; just sound judgment. The contracts Bernie writes embody this philosophy, and as a result I've never lost a dime or had a dissatisfied client. My licensing clients and I always profit together. While he's a talented lawyer, that's the mechanical side of what Bernie does -- the true service he delivers is expert business guidance and negotiating skill. He always finds an extra way to profit from a deal, and an extra way to protect my rights and intellectual property. And I never pay for contract work twice -- Bernie reuses the custom boilerplate that we continue to hone for my contracts. Those savings leave enough in my legal budget so I can turn to Bernie frequently for strategic advice. With Bernie's help, I've built a content licensing business that profits again and again from the same content -- that's what licensing is all about. I'd never sign a contract or make a significant business decision with his sage input -- he's as close to a partner as I've ever had.
