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

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

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

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

  Ghanshyam 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 — Ghanshyam 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 Ghanshyam?

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

• Is Ghanshyam accepting new business clients right now?

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