Professional Overview

“I see people in virtually every circumstance on a daily basis,” says Jerome S., a family law attorney in the Lone Star state. “Family law is unique in that way. I have to weigh the financial, emotional and social needs in order to fully understand the best possible situation for my client,” says the Dallas area attorney, whose firm started in 2002. Jerome cites LegalMatch’s detailed client intake process as being instrumental in understanding each client’s specific situation before he meets the client face to face. Since September of 2003, Jerome estimates he’s engaged at least 30 clients through LegalMatch, translating to a whopping eight times his initial investment.

The attorney is also somewhat of a thespian in his spare time, a craft he feels makes him a better attorney. “The two definitely inform one another,” Jerome says. “Playing a variety of roles helps me to empathize with others in situations I might not otherwise experience. Likewise, my profession as an attorney puts me in contact with people from all walks of life.” A success story in the truest sense, Jerome exhibits the principles of the ideal LegalMatch attorney: hard working, ethical, and ready to fight on behalf of his clients. Perhaps the attorney’s success on the stage and in the courtroom is infectious; after all, here at LegalMatch, we’re just pleased to “play a role” in the attorney’s future.
