• How much does it cost to hire Friedrich for a employment contracts case?

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

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

  Friedrich 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 — Friedrich 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 Friedrich?

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