• How much does it cost to hire Tanisha for a government case?

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

• Does Tanisha offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Illinois typically take?

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

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

  Tanisha 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 — Tanisha 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 Tanisha?

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

• Is Tanisha accepting new government clients right now?

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