Adult Entertainment Law
The Law Office of Barry Oliver Chase, P.A. provides legal counsel and representation to the adult entertainment industry in South Florida and beyond, including Web sites, adult film makers, and live performance businesses such as exotic dancing clubs.

The adult entertainment industry is in constant flux between obscenity statutes and First Amendment rights. Mr. Chase counsels clients on maintaining legal standing by complying with regulations, and representing them in legal action against overzealous crusaders. For instance, 18 U.S.C. §2257 requires adult Web sites to keep extensive records verifying that all models portrayed are 18 years of age. Meeting this requirement requires great care and attention to technical detail.
