FAQ — Kreisman Law Offices

How much does Kreisman Law charge?
Contingency only — 33⅓% of any recovery. All costs advanced. Free consultation.
Why hire a small firm vs. a big-name plaintiff firm?
Robert handles every case personally. You speak with him, not just paralegals. Fewer cases means deeper investment in each.
How long does a med mal case take?
Most settle in 18–30 months. Trials add 6–12 months. Birth-injury cases often longer due to lifetime damages calculations.
Do I need expert witnesses?
Yes — every Illinois med mal case requires a Section 2-622 affidavit from a qualified physician at filing. Robert's network includes specialists in every major area of medicine.
Why are you a smaller firm?
By choice. Robert turns down cases that wouldn't get full attention. The trade-off is a higher bar at intake but better outcomes.
