• How much does it cost to hire Jefferey for a general case?

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

• Can Jefferey take my case if I'm outside New York?

  Jefferey 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 — Jefferey 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 Jefferey?

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