• How much does it cost to hire Vontarez for a business case?

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

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

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

  Vontarez 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 — Vontarez 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 Vontarez?

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

• Is Vontarez accepting new business clients right now?
