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

Tommy 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 Tommy for a entertainment case?

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

• Does Tommy offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Tommy take my case if I'm outside North Charleston?

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

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

• Is Tommy accepting new entertainment clients right now?

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