• How much does it cost to hire Randah for a appellate case?

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

• Does Randah offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do appellate cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Randah 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 — Randah 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 Randah?

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

• Is Randah accepting new appellate clients right now?

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