The Difference May Be the Lawyer You Choose
Charleston, West Virginia Sports Law Firm
Through our sports agency practice – DBD Sports, LLC – we provide agent and contract advisory services for professional athletes, including NFL players Randy Moss of the Oakland Raiders, Darrion Scott of the Minnesota Vikings, and Chris Massey of the St. Louis Rams. Through Dan Tobin, who heads our basketball division of DBD Sports, LLC, we represent a number of basketball players in the United States and Europe, including Ryan Gomes of the Boston Celtics, Tamar Slay of the Charlotte Bobcats, Carlos Powell of South Carolina and Ronald Ross.
There are a number of qualified sports agents who are also experienced lawyers like us. At DBD Sports, LLC, we believe the most important factor in selecting an agent is to pick someone you can trust. Our agent-lawyers believe in forming strong personal relationships with our players. For this reason, we have chosen to remain a small, highly personalized agency rather than become a mega-agency that represents hundreds of players. While we are a small sports law firm, we have negotiated for Randy Moss one of the largest contracts in NFL history.
Our lawyer-agents create a family relationship with our clients so they can feel comfortable with us. We want each of our clients to feel they are getting all of the services they need. Those services include:
- NFL and NBA draft preparation
- Reviewing and negotiating sports contracts
- Reviewing and negotiating endorsement and engagement contracts and other business ventures
- Providing access to specialists in financial planning, including investment counseling, tax planning and preparation, and estate planning, as well as personal management services such as finding homes and apartments
- Providing general legal services and advice
One of the most important services we provide is helping NFL and NBA prospects prepare themselves physically and mentally for the draft. We get excited about the players we represent, and we do everything we can as agents and lawyers to help them get ready for a pro career.
As far as earning a right to get to play in the pros, that is up to you as a player. An agent can’t get you there. However, an agent can help you get ready by advising you and helping you find the right trainer. We can help enhance your chances to be drafted as high as possible.
