• How much does it cost to hire Werner for a patent case?

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

• Does Werner offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do patent cases in Illinois typically take?

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

• Can Werner take my case if I'm outside Glen Ellyn?

  Werner 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 — Werner 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 Werner?

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

• Is Werner accepting new patent clients right now?

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