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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Archit for a general case?

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

• Does Archit offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Illinois typically take?

  Simple general 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. Archit gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Archit 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 — Archit 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 Archit?

  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. Archit will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Archit accepting new general clients right now?

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