• How much does it cost to hire Gerard for a litigation case?

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

• Can Gerard take my case if I'm outside Queens Village?

  Gerard is licensed in New York. Matters governed by New York law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Gerard 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 Gerard?

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