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

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

• Does Dedrick offer a free consultation?

• How long do business cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Dedrick 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 — Dedrick 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 Dedrick?

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

• Is Dedrick accepting new business clients right now?

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