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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Manotti for a ip case?

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

• Does Manotti offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do ip cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Manotti 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 — Manotti 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 Manotti?

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

• Is Manotti accepting new ip clients right now?

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