Adult Industry Attorney Marc Randazza Honored as a VegasInc 2012 Top Lawyer

LAS VEGAS-VegasInc recently named adult industry attorney Marc J. Randazza of the Randazza Legal Group as one of Las Vegas’ Top Lawyers for 2012 for his work in lawsuits and disputes. Randazza was one of the most highly rated in his category. Randazza is licensed to practice law in Massachusetts, California, Florida and, most recently, in Nevada. VegasInc partnered with Avvo.com, a website that specializes in ranking legal professionals, to compile its inaugural list of the top 100 attorneys in Las Vegas. Avvo used a proprietary algorithm to rate all attorneys on a 10-point scale. The scale took into account such factors as peer endorsements, experience, education, training, research, publishing and awards. “While being recognized as a top lawyer in Las Vegas is a great honor, it is even more so when I look at the other great lawyers who were also named to the list,” Randazza said. Some of Randazza’s most well-known Las Vegas litigation includes his well-publicized campaign versus Righthaven and the recent Oron litigation, in which he dealt a major blow to one of the adult industry’s greatest sources of piracy. Randazza also currently represents a number of citizen journalists and bloggers in defamation cases across the country. His First Amendment oriented practice includes representation of adult entertainment businesses, defendants in SLAPP actions, protestors, other free speech cases, and Internet-based businesses as well as a variety of copyright, cybersquatting, and other trademark claims. “Marc's reputation is well-deserved. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and for the First Amendment, and that zeal certainly is reflected in his work,” adult entertainment attorney Clyde DeWitt said. Randazza Legal Group, a First Amendment and Internet law firm, has since expanded to offices in Miami, Toronto, Phoenix, and Las Vegas. However, Randazza practices nationally in his areas of expertise.
