• How much does it cost to hire Caitlyn for a education case?

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

• Does Caitlyn offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do education cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Caitlyn 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 — Caitlyn 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 Caitlyn?

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

• Is Caitlyn accepting new education clients right now?

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