J.D. Obenberger
 

I first met J.D. at an AWE show in Portland back in August of 2001. He pissed me off by not taking the time to properly answer one of my questions during the questions part of his "performance."

If any of you have ever sat in on some of his legal panel discussions then you know why I call it a "performance." J.D. has a way of captivating his audience. He grabs your attention from the moment he starts to speak and he maintains it until he leaves the building. Most of the other speakers tend to bore me to sleep.

Not being a passive person, I later confronted J.D. about his lack of answer to my question. As it turns out, it wasn't his answer that was unclear...It was my question and he gladly let me rephrase it and then proceeded to give me much more of an extensive answer than I would have ever gotten during the panel discussion.

Moving on to the point of this thread........

Not only does J.D. put on a great show...But he also knows his shit and is very thorough. In all seriousness...If you ever need a good First Amendment Attorney.....Give him a call.

one of the best. no doubt.

i've heard good things too... in fact i have his site bookmarked and i've been meaning to get around to him

he's a great guy, also a chicagoen :thumbsup

attorneys are good.

long time to chat fella.
hope you are well.

Bah! I've sent J.D. some clients over the years.....It's the least I can do since he has helped me from time to time.

J.D. definitely knows how to capture an audience. In the years of the AWE tours I saw him many times in the legal seminars, really he WAS the legal seminars.

Last night I was browsing thru some old AWE pics, and got a few of J.D., I'll post some on here later tonight. Thumbs up :thumbsup for J.D. and the invaluable free advice he's given to thousands of webmasters.

I've had a member of our site - not a webmaster; a subscriber, send me links to J.D.'s site because they were interested in Freedom of Speech.

He's someone you want on your side in case the feds come knocking. http://www.gofuckyourself.com/images.../xyxthumbs.gif

yes, very impressive attorney if you have heard him speak.

"Performance"

That's a good description Aaron of exactly what does go on at the legal seminars.

I was greatly looking forward to learning something at the Miami seminar, but all 3 lawyers used the stage as a platform for motivational speaking and standup comedy...or so it seemed.

Over the course of the seminar I did learn one thing that I didn't know, so I'll give them that, but aside from that, it was nothing more than standup comedy.

The legal seminars are great for the newbies, but if you have ANY clue about the laws in our industry, they're a waste of time imho.

As you said, HIRE one that knows our industry (as I'm sure JD and the the others do) and get the quality one on one time to get the answers to the questions that YOU need. Don't waste your time in a legal seminar to get a general overview of the industry laws and how the government is doing everything in their power to destroy us. Everyone SHOULD already know that.

Said the Canadian. :glugglug

I agree.

JD is one sharp mother fucker..

If you want a good, i mean great attorney who knows his shit about our biz, he is the man to be with..

In my opinon the best.

Joe is definitely top notch.

:thumbsup

One of those people reffered over was us. He has done a fantastic job of making sure we are 100% compliant for 2257.

Not only JD a great lawyer he is also very knowlegable as well as a great guy.

Bump for J.D. He's always been very nice to me, and even helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Aaron, are you aware of the games this guy has played that could affect everyones business? We should talk privately.

JD is a brilliant man and one of the best attornerys I have had the pleasue doing business with. I highly recomend JD.

AaronM is 100% on target. I have had the pleasure of hearing him many times and have had 1 on 1 with him a few times as well as with AaronM and JD together.

My favorite rant of his is about the fact that you woudln't let kids play alone on the interstate or highway so what let them play alone on the information highway?

Showman - Yes.
Outstanding Lawyer - Yes.
Looks a lot like me - Yes.

Good job bringing a man like him to the attention of everyone here.

he does at that, doesn't he

Nice to read some feedback like this, we just got started on a new project and he's our guy

Yes Brad....I am well aware of the current law suit against you. So is anybody else who knows anybody in this industry. There is nothing to privately discuss.

Here's the short story...

Lace shot a girl several years ago. I believe it was a "test shoot" and no release was obtained from the model. Somehow, images from that shoot made their was to Lace's content store.

The rest of the story is rather involved but let's just say that there were a lot of fuck ups. :glugglug

I concur.

JD and I used to travel the circuit together (AWE Shows)
I probably know his shpiel better than I remember the prolouge to Romeo and Juliet

"Two households . both alike in Dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene"

You have not lived life until you heard JD's story about artichoke. Somehow, during dinner at the luxor steakhouse, he managed to slip in a 30 minute aside about artichoke in a conversation about obscenity. And for some reason, he had me captivated.

The AWE's where great! I remember my first, I missed JD's seminar, and everyone was talking about it. I made sure to make it to the next one! :thumbsup

:winkwink:

was that guy with the glassses that was speaking in LA about legal stuff? he came by the couches with Irrum and me he was a funny guy.

what are you doing up. you should be in bed, have to be up for school tomorow :p

Man, I used to know an artichoke story, but it has been years since I told it . . .

Didn't you make it to a few more of the shows after that one?

J.D. is cool...he knows his shit and best of all is that he tries to give you your monies worth.

I use him and i like him.

Theres that old saying you can keep your mouth shut and let people think your a fool, or open it and prove to them you are. Well lets just say I had the privallege of having diner with J.D. he's a brillant man so I kept my mouth shut to listen and learn. He's very informative and insightful.

great speaker heard him in Atl

First time I heard him speak was at the AWE show in Chicago, and it was the day Mike Jones was raided.

Lionel Lutz is my attorney.

JD was the draw for me to finally attend my first conference in Atlanta at the AWE.
I had been in the business for three years and it was time for me to get a clue.

Changed my life forever.

Good lawyer. Good guy. Good friend.
