I’ve always described Michael Fattorosi, www.adultbizlaw.com as a rock ‘N roll attorney because he’s cool. And now the rest is true. Fattorosi’s repping Fernades guitars in a lawsuit involving Metallica. Beyond that, Fattorosi won’t comment. Just like a typical lawyer.

[From TMZ.com]- Nothing in life is free — unless you’re famous — but this time freebees have put Metallica’s bass player in the middle of a serious legal battle.
Their new bassist, Robert Trujillo, [pictured] had an existing promotional deal with Fernades Guitars in North Hollywood. For being able to use his likeness in advertising, Fernandes was giving Robert a pile of custom basses.
But Metallica has its own promo deal with ESP Guitars — and now that Trujillo is an asset of Metallicorp, their lawyers have slapped Fernandes with a cease and desist letter demanding they no longer use Robert or Metallica’s name or likeness.
Rock and roll used to be much cooler than this.
