Question 1

What does it mean to work with Adam directly?

Accepted Answer

Every matter at Lysinski & Associates P.C. is handled by Adam Lysinski personally — same attorney from intake to close. Adam has practiced law in Chicago since 2003, obtained licenses in Illinois, Wisconsin, New York, Texas, Minnesota, D.C., and 7 federal courts, and carries the AIGP credential from IAPP. The firm operates without internal handoffs or billing for internal coordination. The structure has driven the firm's referral-based growth for more than two decades.

Question 2

What is the 5-minute triage call?

Accepted Answer

The 5-minute triage call is the fastest path from uncertainty to a plan. Adam picks up the phone, listens to what is going on, and tells you directly whether the matter fits the firm's practice. There is no consultation fee, no sales pitch, and no obligation. If Adam is the right attorney, the next step is engagement-letter level. If he is not, you walk away with a referral to someone who is — or with the clarity that the matter does not need an attorney at all.

Question 3

What practice areas does Adam personally handle?

Accepted Answer

Adam personally handles all matters in the firm. Real estate and estate planning are the core practices — residential closings, buyer and seller representation, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and probate avoidance. Business law covers formation, commercial contracts, M&A, and ongoing operational counsel. The AI law practice covers employer obligations under Illinois HB 3773, vendor contracts, governance frameworks, and digital replica rights under HB 4875. General counsel services serve growing companies that need outside CLO-level counsel. Private equity work serves principals and majority owners directly — separate from the fund’s counsel and the portfolio company’s GC. Startup and creator economy work handles equity, IP, brand deals, and content rights. Family-owned business counsel integrates the other practice areas for businesses where ownership, family, and succession decisions are connected.

Question 4

Does Lysinski & Associates P.C. represent Polish-speaking clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Adam Lysinski is a native Polish speaker and served as legal liaison to the Polish Consulate General in Chicago. He has represented the Polish-speaking community at real estate closings, estate planning matters, and business transactions throughout Chicagoland for more than two decades. All legal work, document review, and client communication can be conducted entirely in Polish. See the Po Polsku page for more information.

Question 5

Where is the office located?

Accepted Answer

The office is located at 4418 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL 60630 — in the Jefferson Park and Portage Park corridor on the Northwest Side. The location serves clients across Chicago and the broader Chicagoland area. Many clients are served remotely — closings, estate planning, and business matters can frequently be handled without an in-person office visit. Call (773) 777-9888 to schedule.

Question 6

What does Adam charge?

Accepted Answer

Most residential real estate closings: $650 flat fee — one price, no range, no surprises. Estate planning packages are fixed fee, scoped at intake. Business law and general counsel are billed hourly or on a monthly retainer, agreed upon before any work begins. AI law matters are billed hourly or on a governance retainer; flat fees available for defined scopes (policy drafts, vendor contract review, BIPA audit). Private equity advisory is retainer-structured. Family-owned business counsel runs on a monthly retainer for ongoing engagements; fixed fees apply to scoped work like operating agreements, buy-sell agreements, and succession plans. There are no surprise invoices on any matter — the fee arrangement is confirmed before Adam picks up the file.
