WELCOME TO CASSANDRA SPANGLER, ESQ.
Whether you are an artist or an entertainment company, a music attorney is an essential part of your team. In today’s music industry, many artists are choosing to forego traditional record deals in favor of forming their own companies and self releasing their music. A music attorney can be a useful guide through that process, as well as through the process of pursuing a traditional record or publishing deal.

I hired Cassandra to resolve a royalty dispute. She was very professional when dealing with the label and other parties involved, as well as responsive and helpful when addressing any of my queries. Highly recommended!

Can’t tell the difference between a parody and a derived work? Don’t want to bet your house on guessing correctly? Then Ms. Spangler is your attorney of choice. She helped my band, “Esoteric Ramblers“, get our beer-focused CD “Keg of Love”, into the marketplace and out of a courtroom. She rocks!
