Legal Question in Entertainment Law in New Jersey

Life Story Stolen For TV

My life story has been used for a popular tv show and I have received no compensation for it. I have had an article published in Star Magazine comparing facts of my life and the show. There are far too many similarities for this just to be accidential. Additionally, I have proof that my court documents have been taken out and copied, newspaper articles been utilized and friends of mine have been interviewed, prior to the writing of the script. As this is a delicate matter, I prefer to speak in person to an attorney interested in handling this type of lawsuit.
