• How much does it cost to hire Majdel for a bankruptcy case?

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

• Does Majdel offer a free consultation?

• How long do bankruptcy cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Majdel 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 — Majdel 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 Majdel?

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