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

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

• Does Johan offer a free consultation?

  Johan charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Johan's office. Some general attorneys offer free consults — check Johan'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. Johan gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Johan take my case if I'm outside Harrisburg?

  Johan 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 — Johan 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 Johan?

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

• Is Johan accepting new general clients right now?

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