One very important thing that Mr Jerome did for me was to realize that I'm on a fixed income, and put me on a payment plan. He also spread up the process in getting my case dismissed, seeing that the charges against me were not true. I did, however, experienced some difficulty contacting him at times..., and communication could have been a bit more thorough. I really needed to get a more detailed explanation about my outcome, and that hasn't changed. There are still questions that I have for him, and would appreciate hearing from his office about certain follow-ups that are being considered. Overall, though, he was easy to talk to and very professional.

His failure to respond caused my case to be dismissed!

Hired him for a civil case. He failed to serve the defendant or make diligent efforts. Defendant filed motion to dismiss based on lack of service. Jerome never responded to the motion and never contacted me about the case at all! So, because he didn’t do anything on the case, the judge dismissed it. ...I am filing bar complaints and a legal malpractice lawsuit.

Very Stressful…

Initially meeting and hiring Mr. Serge, I got a very good vibe from him and he appeared very knowledgeable on my situation. As time went on…I could hardly ever get in contact with him, phone calls/voicemails were missed & not returned, emails went unanswered, he would show up unprepared to court date...s. He turned an assignment that could have been complete in less than two months, to almost 6 months. It was extremely extremely stressful for me as I was already going through a ton of things for me to even have to seek legal advice in the first place. He didn’t even show up to my last court date. Long story short, keep searching if you want a stress-free experience.

I told this woman the courts were closed UNTIL FEBRUARY. She still called me every other day including Christmas Eve. I got her probation violation recalled, a criminal warrant recalled and settled her charges for just probation!! I literally worked a miracle for her. She literally complained every single day. I've never met a more miserable person. I did exactly what I said I would. She needs to go leave a bad review from the Clayton County District Attorney since they were the ones trying to lock you up.

Went above and beyond....

I hired Jerome on an accident case and he's the best! Prior,I had consulted with 3 different attorneys and they told me i did not have a case. I looked this attorney up on google, i was skeptical at first, BUT he took care of everything, he went over and beyond his duties. I will refer this attorney ...as he truly works hard and communicated very well throughout my case and he knows the law! Justice was served!
