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

Jerome 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 Jerome for a entertainment case?

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

• Does Jerome offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Jerome take my case if I'm outside Waukegan?

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

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

• Is Jerome accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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