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.

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!

Tough Attorney

Jerome is a good attorney and he's really a good person. I hired Jerome for car accident case when my pastor referred me to him. My daughter got in an accident and the cop gave her and the other driver tickets but my daughter didn't do anything wrong. Jerome got the ticket thrown out. He filed an ins...urance claim for my car and the hospital bills. The insurance company only want to give me 10 thousand. Jerome sued them and got the whole policy. He has 2 good paralegals that are very professional and very nice. Jerome really cares about what he does. He was seriously mad when the insurance company wouldn't give us a better deal and he didn't flinch to sue them. One day he said we're suing them, the next day he called me to tell me he filed the lawsuit. When I first met him thought that he might be too nice but he was tough when it mattered. He went after that insurance hard and made them pay. This is my attorney for everything now.

Honest Attorney

Jerome is a good and honest attorney. I hired him to sue a contractor who did not complete a remodeling job for me. The contractor only did half the work even though we paid him all the money. Jerome sued him and got most of the money we paid back from the contractor and I even got my attorneys fee p...aid for by the contractor. I was able to hire another contractor to complete the job and I didn't lose any money at all. A lot of these attorneys will give you the run around but Jerome is a straight shooter. He told me what was going to happen and how much it was going to cost and kept his word the whole time. Never tried to charge me a dime more or get more money because we won. Good honest person.

The Best Attorney

My son was accused of 2 felonys and they said they mandatory sentence was 20 years in prison. I tried to find a private attorney but they were all so expensive so I had to go with the government attorney. They never answered the phone when I called them the only time I saw them was when I went to cou...rt. Then they kept telling my son he had to take a deal for 10 years in prison and 10 years probation. I wasn't going to take that so I looked around some more and my sister told me about this attorney she was working with who was really good and would work with me on the money that was Attorney Jerome. I called him and he talked to me in a way I could understand he was very truthful with me and told me from the beginning that my son might have some prison time. He called me every time there was a hearing. He always did what he said he was going to do. He let me pay him every 2 weeks when I got paid. Before I hired him I was so stressed out and I didn't want my son to spend his whole life in prison I couldn't sleep but after him started working for me he made me feel so much better. The government attorney I had before was so lazy they let the prosecutor do whatever they wanted but Serge fought them on everything. He showed the judge how they were lying on my son. When they saw that they had no chance against him they asked Attorney Jerome to take a deal and my son wanted to be done with everything so they dropped one of the charges and gave my son 5 years probation on the other charge. Now he is home with me. Thank you thank you thank you Attorney Jerome. I will tell everyone your the best attorney I will always remember what you did for us.
