Navigating the music industry as an independent artist is tough enough—so why should legal help make it harder? At Randy Ojeda Law, we've replaced unpredictable hourly billing with transparent flat-fee services.
That means you know exactly what you're getting and how much it costs before you ever sign. Whether it's reviewing contracts, negotiating terms, or protecting your rights, you get real legal work without surprise invoices.
This model empowers artists to take action before problems grow and gives them the confidence to move forward in their careers with support that respects both their time and budget.
The Problem with Hourly Billing
Traditional legal billing was designed for corporations with dedicated legal budgets—not independent artists trying to protect their creative work. When lawyers charge by the hour, every email, every phone call, and every question adds to your bill.
This creates a terrible dynamic: artists become afraid to ask questions or seek help because they're constantly watching the clock. Important issues get ignored until they become expensive problems. And the anxiety of not knowing what the final bill will be keeps many musicians from getting the help they actually need.
The result? Artists sign bad contracts, miss opportunities, and lose rights they should have protected—all because traditional legal pricing made professional help feel out of reach.
How Flat-Fee Changes Everything
With flat-fee pricing, you know the cost upfront. No surprises, no anxiety, no hesitation to ask that extra question that could save your career.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
- Contract Review: One price to thoroughly review any music industry contract and explain what it means for you
- Negotiation Support: A clear fee for helping you negotiate better terms with labels, managers, or publishers
- Copyright Registration: Straightforward pricing to properly protect your music
- Trademark Filing: Know exactly what it costs to protect your artist name
This isn't about cutting corners or providing less service. You get the same professional legal work—just without the billing anxiety.
What You Get with Flat-Fee Services
When you work with Randy Ojeda Law on a flat-fee basis, you're getting:
- Clear pricing before any work begins
- Freedom to ask questions without watching the clock
- Professional legal expertise from someone who understands music
- The confidence to make decisions based on knowledge, not fear
- Support that fits an indie artist's budget
We believe every artist deserves access to quality legal help. The barrier shouldn't be whether you can afford to pick up the phone.
Take Action on Your Career
Too many artists wait until something goes wrong before seeking legal help. By then, the damage is done and the costs are much higher. Flat-fee pricing makes it possible to be proactive—to get contracts reviewed before you sign, to protect your rights before someone infringes them.
Your music career deserves real legal protection. And that protection shouldn't come with unpredictable bills that make you second-guess every interaction with your attorney.
