The Command Zone started out really small with me and Jimmy just creating YouTube videos purely for fun but we've slowly grown into a 25 person company with hundreds of millions of views that sits at the forefront of the tabletop gaming and the digital media space. We're now dealing with huge brand partners (Hasbro, Scopely, Wizards of the Coast), major IPs (Marvel, Paramount, Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings), and big name talent (Post Malone, Xolo Maridueña, Joe Manganiello) on a regular basis and I really don't know how we would have navigated everything and progressed this far without Asa. His experience and expertise have been invaluable. He's very responsive, he gives great straightforward advice, he's a calming presence when things get stressful, he helps us stay firm during negotiations, he thinks outside the box, and is always fighting hard for our team, and most importantly he gets great outcomes. Bottomline is we make more money, we're more protected, and we have more time to spend on the fun part: making the actual content. Asa is a 10 out of 10. Highly reccomend.
Asa has been one of the best investments we've made for our business. He’s extremely dependable; whenever we bring him in on a project we know the job will get done on time and efficiently as possible. One of the first things he helped us do was build contract templates that have saved us countless hours and has been quick to adapt them as our needs evolve.
Even as we've grown, he's helped us navigate everything from brand partnerships and venue agreements to larger business decisions. And anytime we work with outside counsel for something that falls outside his scope, Asa is still our first point of contact and makes sure we’re in good hands. We’ve worked with other good lawyers in the past who know how to get the job done and it’s just business, but with Asa we feel like we’re on the same team, not just another client.
He’s also been great during negotiations. He knows when to push back to protect our interests and when to find common ground so deals can move forward. His experience working with live events, comedians, venues, and brand partnerships has been incredibly valuable.
What really sets Asa apart, though, is his responsiveness and dependability. No matter how busy he is, we always feel like our business matters. When he says he'll have something turned around by a certain time, he delivers. That level of consistency has made him someone we trust completely, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any growing business looking for a thoughtful, reliable attorney.
Also he's a good hang :)
Asa is the best attorney I've ever worked with and someone I trust completely. He's incredibly strategic, detail-oriented, and always seems to catch the things everyone else misses. No matter how complex the deal, whether it's sponsorships, live events, merchandising, or international partnerships, Asa knows how to protect our interests without slowing the process down.
What I appreciate most is that he doesn't just point out problems. He solves them entirely and does so proactively. He's responsive, thoughtful, fights hard for his clients, and is someone you genuinely want in your corner when the stakes are high.
Beyond all of that, he's simply the best person to work with. I recommend Asa without hesitation and above anyone else out there.
I’ve worked with Asa across a wide range of projects related to my Media Business, and one thing that stands out is how proactive he is. He’s not the type of lawyer who waits for something to go wrong; he constantly thinks several steps ahead, helping identify risks before they become problems.
He’s helped me put strong agreements in place with on-camera talent, editors, contractors, and crew, making sure everyone understands expectations while also protecting my business. Asa is tenacious in contract discussions with agency and brand partners. He makes sure I’m being represented fairly and that the terms make sense long-term, not just today.
When people have used my content without permission, Asa has helped me navigate takedowns and protect my intellectual property.
What I appreciate most is that Asa understands how digital media and the creator economy actually work. He gives practical advice, explains things clearly, and collaborates with you rather than just sending back legal edits. I always come away feeling like my business is more protected than it was before we started the conversation.
I'd recommend Asa to anyone looking for an attorney who's proactive, strategic, and willing to push back to get things right.
Asa has been our attorney for years, and I genuinely can't imagine building East Goes Global without him in our corner.
He's incredibly responsive, moves fast, and consistently exceeds expectations. Whether it's negotiating complex entertainment and digital deals, thinking creatively through unique situations, or simply giving straightforward advice when we need it most, Asa always delivers. He has a rare ability to be calm, practical, and firm all at once, which is exactly what you want when navigating high-stakes conversations.
Beyond being an exceptional lawyer, Asa is someone you genuinely trust. He always has our best interests at heart, never overcomplicates things, and tells us what we need to hear, not just what we want to hear. He's become a true extension of our team, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.
Where do I start?! Six foot four - handsome - and more
Working with Asa over the past year has been incredible. He's been an invaluable resource for navigating relationships with brands and venues and has played a big role in helping us build long-term partnerships.
As our business has grown, Asa has been a trusted sounding board for many of our bigger decisions. He's also helped us streamline our contracts and create templates that have made us much more efficient. Since we're a startup that's constantly evolving, it's been great having someone who's flexible and able to adapt our agreements as the business changes.
Even though Asa has plenty of other clients, he always makes us feel like we're his top priority whenever we're on the phone. He does a great job of holding the line when we're negotiating with difficult clients, while also listening when we feel there's room to be more flexible.
He has a strong understanding of the live events business, especially when structuring deals involving comedians, venues, and brand partners.
At the end of the day, my favorite quality about Asa is his reliability. If he tells you something will be done by the end of the day, it gets done. That's a rare quality, and one we really appreciate.
