• How much does it cost to hire Felicia for a environmental case?

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

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

  Felicia 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 — Felicia 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 Felicia?

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