Chicago Real Estate Attorney
The closing attorney. Former real estate broker.

Lysinski & Associates P.C. charges a $650 flat fee for most residential closings. This covers contract review and negotiation during attorney modification, title review, closing preparation, and representation at the closing table. The fee is agreed upon before any work begins. You can call with questions throughout the transaction without watching the clock. Commercial closings and investment acquisitions are billed at an hourly rate agreed upon after a scope discussion.

In Illinois, residential real estate contracts include a five-business-day attorney modification period — typically the most valuable time in a transaction. During this window, Adam Lysinski reviews and negotiates contract terms, inspection contingency language, title commitment requirements, and eliminates ambiguous provisions before they create liability. More than two decades of Chicago closings teach which clauses later become disputes. This is where the $650 pays for itself.

Both. Adam has represented buyers, sellers, and investors at Chicago-area closings since 2003. As a former Illinois Licensed Managing Real Estate Broker, he understands the transaction from both sides of the closing table — which means he anticipates the other side's strategy before it becomes a problem. Polish-language representation is available for clients who prefer to work entirely in Polish.

Title issues — liens, easements, boundary disputes, estate clouds, unpaid assessments — are common in Cook County transactions. Adam resolves them before they reach the closing table. If a title issue cannot be resolved in time, he advises whether to proceed, renegotiate, or walk. If you are walking, he tells you early enough to preserve your earnest money. More than two decades means he has seen virtually every title problem that exists in the Chicago market.

Yes. Commercial closings, multi-unit acquisitions, NNN lease negotiation, sale-leaseback structures, 1031 exchange coordination, and commercial title review are all within Adam's practice. The $650 flat fee applies to standard residential closings. Commercial transactions, multi-unit acquisitions, and investment portfolios are scoped at intake — typically billed hourly or at a flat fee agreed before work begins. For investment portfolios and repeated transaction volume, reach out to discuss a volume arrangement.

Call (773) 777-9888 or schedule a 5-minute triage call. Adam personally answers the call, confirms the scope, and gives you a clear answer on whether he can help before any commitment is made. Most residential closings are confirmed within 24 hours of first contact. For transactions already under contract, call immediately — time during attorney modification is the most valuable resource in the deal.
