Wedding photographer release copyright of photos?

Okay so my photographer is a scam artist. He has scammed many brides out of money and is filing for bankruptcy and is shutting down his shop this month!! He has told me he will sign me over the rights.. He gave me the cd but didn't sign over the rights. When and if I get a hold of him I need him to sign them over, what can I write stating that he gives me full use of all the images and takes away all his rights? Please I really need help asap!! He still owes me an album and enlargements that I'm NOT getting since he's going bankrupt but has offered to sign over the rights.. I just want something he can sign that is LEGIT! I paid him in full already and there's no use in suing at this point I just want the rights to my images. The police are involved and it's just getting messier and messier.. More about my photographer gone wrong can be read here.

    You need a copyright assignment drafted. I highly recommend that you contact a copyright attorney to have one drafted for your particular case that specifically covers the rights you seek transferred. A good copyright attorney will help you get it right the first time and ease your obvious concerns about the transfer being "legit".
