Working with a new litigation attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Gerson usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Gerson discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in litigation practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Gerson for a litigation case?

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

• Does Gerson offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do litigation cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Gerson 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 — Gerson 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 Gerson?

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

• Is Gerson accepting new litigation clients right now?

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