• How much does it cost to hire Blake for a contracts case?

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

• Does Blake offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do contracts cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Blake 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 — Blake 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 Blake?

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

• Is Blake accepting new contracts clients right now?

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