• How much does it cost to hire Clement for a bankruptcy case?

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

  Simple bankruptcy 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. Clement gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Clement take my case if I'm outside Newark?

  Clement is licensed in New Jersey. Matters governed by New Jersey law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Clement will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

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

  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. Clement will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
