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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Marketa for a immigration case?

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

• Does Marketa offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do immigration cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Marketa 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 — Marketa 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 Marketa?

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

• Is Marketa accepting new immigration clients right now?

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