• How much does it cost to hire Jerome for a appellate 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 appellate attorneys offer free consults — check Jerome's current terms during booking.

• How long do appellate cases in Michigan typically take?

  Simple appellate 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 Marquette?

  Jerome is licensed in Michigan. Matters governed by Michigan 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 appellate clients right now?

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