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

Jaye 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 Jaye for a entertainment case?

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

• Does Jaye offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do entertainment cases in Louisiana 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. Jaye gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Jaye take my case if I'm outside New Orleans?

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

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

• Is Jaye accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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