Jervis's primary office is at 120 E Baltimore Street, Baltimore, MD, 21202. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Jervis for a consumer case?

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

• Does Jervis offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do consumer cases in Maryland typically take?

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

• Can Jervis take my case if I'm outside Baltimore?

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

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

• Is Jervis accepting new consumer clients right now?

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