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

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

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

• Does Jerold offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do bankruptcy cases in New York typically take?

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

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

  Jerold 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 — Jerold 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 Jerold?

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

• Is Jerold accepting new bankruptcy clients right now?

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