Working with a new real estate attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Ami usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Ami discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in real estate practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Ami for a real estate case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Ami walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Ami offer a free consultation?

  Ami charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Ami's office. Some real estate attorneys offer free consults — check Ami's current terms during booking.

• How long do real estate cases in Illinois typically take?

  Simple real estate matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Ami gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Ami take my case if I'm outside Chicago?

  Ami is licensed in Illinois. Matters governed by Illinois law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Ami will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Ami?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Ami will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Ami accepting new real estate clients right now?

  Ami's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
