• How much does it cost to hire Constance for a family law case?

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

  Simple family law 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. Constance gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Constance take my case if I'm outside La Grange Park?

  Constance 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 — Constance 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 Constance?

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