Answers to Common Questions

  • Do you take cases outside Chicago?

    Yes. While many of our cases are based in Cook and Will counties, we regularly represent clients across Illinois. From larger cities like Springfield and Rockford to smaller communities statewide, Mark is committed to helping injury victims wherever they live. No matter where your accident occurred in Illinois, we’re ready to stand by your side.

  • Will I talk to you directly about my case?

    Yes. Every client works directly with Mark from the very first call until the case is resolved. You won’t be passed off to junior associates or paralegals—your questions will be answered by the attorney handling your claim. Mark believes in building strong client relationships, and that starts with open, one-on-one communication.

  • How much will it cost to hire you?

    Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we win. There are no upfront costs or hidden fees, so you can focus on recovery instead of worrying about legal bills. If your case is successful, the attorney’s fee comes from a percentage of the recovery—not out of your pocket up front. This ensures our goals are always aligned with yours.

  • How long do I have to file a claim in Illinois?

    Most personal injury cases in Illinois must be filed within two years of the accident, though some situations have shorter or longer deadlines. Waiting too long can make it harder to gather evidence and can even cause you to lose your right to compensation. That’s why it’s best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible, even if you’re still recovering. Mark can review your case and make sure important deadlines are protected.

  • What should I do right after an accident?

    First, seek medical attention—even if your injuries seem minor, it’s important to have them documented. Next, gather as much evidence as possible: photos, witness names, and copies of reports. Avoid giving recorded statements to the insurance company before speaking to a lawyer, as these can be used against you. Reaching out to Mark early means you’ll have an advocate protecting your rights from day one.
