Working with a new copyright attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Wen usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Wen discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in copyright practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Wen for a copyright case?

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

• Does Wen offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do copyright cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Wen 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 — Wen 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 Wen?

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

• Is Wen accepting new copyright clients right now?

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