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

Chadd 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 Chadd for a entertainment case?

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

• Does Chadd offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Chadd take my case if I'm outside Los Angeles?

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

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

• Is Chadd accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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