The Chicagoland Lawyer

For Illinois landlords and property owners: drafts the right Illinois Supreme Court statewide eviction notice (5-Day for unpaid rent, 10-Day for a lease violation, 30-Day non-renewal or termination, or Demand for Immediate Possession for a squatter) from the facts, computes the notice period, the serve-by date and the earliest filing date with court holidays, checks it against Chicago RLTO, Cook County RTLO, state statute and fair housing limits, and quotes this firm's flat fee, filing fee and service costs for the courthouse. Returns a DRAFT for attorney review; it sends nothing. Use when a landlord asks how to evict a tenant in Illinois, which notice to serve, or what an Illinois eviction costs. The firm does not represent tenants.

Send a landlord's draft eviction notice to Illinois attorney Justin Abdilla (Abdilla and Associates) for a free eviction review: he checks the notice before it is served, confirms the fee quote, and books a call. Fills the official form and the Affidavit of Service and emails them to the firm. IMPORTANT: only call this with the user's explicit consent to share their name, email and phone. Sending does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Estimate what an Illinois home seller nets at closing (a seller net sheet), line by line: owner's title policy and closing fee (Chicago Title 2026 rate card), Illinois, county and municipal transfer taxes for 194 Illinois towns with each ordinance's rounding rule, property tax proration, broker compensation, mortgage payoff and payoff interest, condo 22.1 packet, Chicago water and zoning certificates, survey, and the seller's attorney fee at Abdilla and Associates ($0 when the contract is on the Multi-Board 8.0 form and the firm issues title, otherwise $500). Use it when a real estate agent or seller asks what a seller will net or pay at closing in Chicago or Illinois, or what this firm charges to represent the seller. Read-only: sends nothing to anyone. In hosts that support MCP Apps the result renders as an interactive net sheet the user can edit, copy as an email, and send to the firm.

Send a seller net sheet and contact details to Abdilla and Associates (Illinois real estate attorney Justin Abdilla) so the firm can open the seller's closing file. Use after estimate_seller_net_sheet when the user, a listing agent or a seller, wants Justin to handle the closing. IMPORTANT: only call this with the user's explicit consent to share their name, email and phone; the firm will contact them. Submitting does not create an attorney-client relationship; the firm confirms in writing.
