I met Jerron Yarbrough through a friend. I paid him for 5 music videos to be recorded and edited by him.
I originally agreed to pay for the videos after he completed them one by one.
Because JY was unstable, he did not have a car or place to consistently call home. I allowed him to use one of my locations to sleep, eat, work, and do laundry (all of this for free). I even physically upgraded the memory on his slow Mac computer(Again, for free) so that he could work more efficiently. While he was staying at my location, he never finished my music videos
Jerron is very financially unstable and asked me to pay him upfront for a music video because he was low on money and had to pay "lawyer" fees. In exchange for me paying him upfront, he agreed to do an extra music video for me. This was a huge mistake that I agreed to.
I was eventually able to record all of the footage with Jerron but he only sent me a partial amount of the work we agreed upon.
I made the agreement with Jerron Yarbrough in September and all of the work was supposed to be done by November in order for me to release my entire music project by the end pf November. When the deadline for my project came about, he began to make excuses for why he had not finished the work. He made many excuses but these were among the top.
1. I have had a lot of schoolwork to do
2. I just got kicked out of my house.
3. I am in between living locations.
4. I have stressful family/personal affairs
5. It is a lot of work for one person
I setup and confirmed a video shooting session with Jerron for one Saturday morning and spent hundreds of dollars preparing for it. When the day came, he became unresponsive and never showed up to the video shoot. He contacted me late that night(9pm or so) and said he didn't know what time we were shooting it even though he is the one that proposed and confirmed a morning video shoot less than 24 hours before that.
I absorbed that financial loss and shot the video another day. He promised me that he would get all of the work(All 6 videos) done by the following week and when the time approached he did not have it finished and he did not reach out to me to inform me that he did not finish them. Instead, I waited several days after his proposed date and inquired about the videos. He presented me with the same excuses and then made a similar promise to have them done the following week.
The following week came and, again, he did not have the videos for me. I waited an entire week after that and contacted him after not hearing anything. He began to ignore my calls, texts, and emails. All the while he was very active on social media promoting himself and his services. He was releasing his personal work and interacting publicly with others instead of finishing and sending me the music videos I paid him thousands of dollars for. He did not even have the decency to let me know he needed more time.
Fast forward to March after countless text messages, phone calls, voicemails, and emails, he still has not sent me my videos. He had the audacity to say that I was harassing him for asking him to send me the videos that he had fallen short of time and time again. I did what any sensible and very generous person would do. I allowed him several days after he missed a deadline before asking why he had not sent me the footage.
I never threatened or offended Jerron. I was only patient and understanding; He took full advantage of this fact. I paid him for work that I now have to sue him for.
After doing more research on Jerron Yarbrough, I figured out this is not the first time he has burned someone. He has a bad but fitting reputation when it comes to his services for photography and videography. He will take your money, preach a sob story, and run away.
After formally emailing Jerron Yarbrough about the projects he never sent me and informing him that I would be taking legal action if necessary, he responded maliciously and began trying to insult my character. I kept my composure and just insisted that he finished what we agreed upon so I did not have to move forward with litigation.
After some time, he claimed to have come to his senses and said he would send me the videos. A day or two later he sent me links to bogus downloads with bogus screenshots. I clicked on the links he sent and was presented with a "file not found" error message. I informed Jerron of this and he never responded or rectified the situation.
Because of Jerron, I have fallen short on many deadlines for my music project and have been setback thousands of dollars and several months. I will now have to hire an entirely new Videographer and redo what he was supposed to do.
I do not recommend that anyone ever work with Jerron Yarbrough. There are thousands of photographers and video directors in Chicago and around the country. PLEASE do not fall into the same issues I have had with this kid and just consider someone else for your services and needs. He has been the biggest thorn in my side and headache for 5 months. He goes by the name JY the Visionary and should not be trusted. I am reporting him to every company reviewing organization possible so that no one else is burned like I have been.

If you still decide to use him as a service after reading this, please do so very warningly. Do not pay him upfront and get an explicit contract stating everything that is to be done and by what time it is to be done. If you use PayPal, do not let him convince you to send money via "friends and family" to avoid PayPal costs. Instead pay him through "goods and services" so you may file a dispute against him if and when he fails to provide your services.
Mr. Yarbrough can be described with these words: Unprofessional, unreliable, a liar, deceitful, deceiving, a thief, crooked, deceptive, fraudulent, unscrupulous, shady, sneaky, misleading, a snake, unfair, unjust, moral lacking, a con artist,
To be clear. I paid JY for music videos and he never sent them to me or refunded me my money. They were supposed to be finished 5 months ago and he is completely ignoring me and all efforts to work this out outside of litigation.
