• How much does it cost to hire Melle for a entertainment case?

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

• Does Melle offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Melle take my case if I'm outside Austin?

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

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

• Is Melle accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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