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

• Does Shai offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Shai take my case if I'm outside Washington?

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

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

• Is Shai accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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