Working with a new entertainment attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Andrew usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Andrew discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in entertainment practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Andrew for a entertainment case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Andrew walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Andrew offer a free consultation?

  Andrew charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Andrew's office. Some entertainment attorneys offer free consults — check Andrew's current terms during booking.

• How long do entertainment cases in this state typically take?

  Simple entertainment matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Andrew gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Andrew take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Andrew evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Andrew's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Andrew?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Andrew will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Andrew accepting new entertainment clients right now?

  Andrew's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
