Eb is often asked to provide expert opinion on many newsworthy legal issues:

Michael Jackson is worth more dead than alive, says one business and entertainment lawyer. Jackson, who died last month, is being remembered Tuesday at a massive memorial service in Los Angeles.

But once the stars, politicians and legions of adoring fans go home and move on with their lives in the weeks to come, an epic battle is expected to break out over the rights to Jackson's debt-laden estate

Toronto lawyer Eb Reinbergs said Jackson's assets far outweigh his debts and there should be plenty of money to pay off his many creditors.

"Michael Jackson had music in a vault locked away. He has always over-recorded for every album that he has produced, meaning of the 12 or 13 songs that were on the album there were another 12 or 13 that didn't make it, and there's nothing to say that that music is less viable than the music that was actually put out," Reinbergs told CTV News Channel.

Eb Reinbergs, an entertainment lawyer based in Toronto, said such post-mortem success happens all the time. The death of the artist usually draws heavy media coverage, which either rekindles a fan's interest or sends others on a shopping spree to see what made that person so well liked in the first place, Reinbergs said.
