Listening To This Podcast Will Help Avoid Cease and Desist Orders

I am the host and creator of the True Crime Reporter® podcast. Gordon Firemark’s website contains helpful templates for appearance releases and other documents. This podcast helps me stay abreast of legal mine fields. Plus, Gordon is an excellent source for paid legal advice for complicated matters.

Great Listen!

Gordon Firemark was my Contracts Law professor (favorite course by the way). I did some research on him prior and found out he had this podcast, so I had to subscribe and register for his course— that was January 2020. To this day, I’m still subscribed and listen to every new episode.

Gordon and Tamera together are a joy to listen to. I love their energy, passion, and in depth knowledge for entertainment law. Definitely one of my favorite podcasts!

Easy Listen Great Information

I am glad I found this podcast. It’s easy to put out a podcast then there is the dread of truth there are laws and details I don’t believe should be ignored and not explored. Every podcaster should tune into this show for basic legal information.
