• How much does it cost to hire Edith for a personal injury case?

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

• Does Edith offer a free consultation?

• How long do personal injury cases in Illinois typically take?

  Simple personal injury 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. Edith gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Edith 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 — Edith 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 Edith?

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