How to Request a Consultation

Appointments must be requested online. Our online scheduler displays our attorney’s current consultation availability, and your legal matter may be very time-sensitive. Contact another attorney for legal advice if you don’t see an appointment that suits you.

After selecting the appointment you wish to request, fill out our form to tell us about your legal situation. Submitting the form doesn’t make us your attorney or require us to provide legal services. We’ll review your submitted information and then confirm or cancel your appointment.

If your session is confirmed, you must complete our intake paperwork and provide payment before speaking with our attorney. Legal advice is only available during scheduled sessions. We cancel appointments when the intake paperwork and payment aren’t complete before the scheduled start time.

Consultation Sessions ($300)

Each new matter begins with a phone or video consultation session. The set fee for up to one hour of attorney consultation is $300. After the initial consultation, if you need more legal advice or direction on the same matter within six months, you can schedule either 30-minute ($125) or one-hour ($250) follow-up sessions.

Our consultation service aims to allow you to resolve matters cost-effectively and discreetly without relying on an attorney to do steps you can do yourself. Clients often seek our perspective in delicate rental, condo, and family business situations where revealing the involvement of an attorney would increase tension. We also help people who have already taken risks and want to manage the consequences.

During the session, our attorney listens to you, explores facts, explains the law, and provides referrals to potentially valuable resources. Please note that Illinois law does restrict when business owners can represent their enterprise in court proceedings. During the initial consultation, we can also assess the extent of legal activities a non-attorney might undertake on behalf of a particular business.
