• How much does it cost to hire Guy for a consumer case?

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

• Does Guy offer a free consultation?

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

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

  Guy 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 — Guy 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 Guy?

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

• Is Guy accepting new consumer clients right now?

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