I was recently interviewed about my career as a Sports and Entertainment Attorney. Click here to read the interview. I am heading up to Columbus, Ohio on Sunday morning and will be there through Tuesday night for some depositions. What do you think the reaction will be up there to me wearing a Miami Heat jersey? Here is my latest for Forbes: NFL Faces Tobacco-Like Damages Reaching Billions Of Dollars In Concussion Litigation. Happy Fathers Day this Sunday to all the dads who check out this website. Here are some stories I missed over the past week:

Heitner has represented numerous athletes and sports agents as legal counsel.
