Kreisler Law, P.C. is a firm of Chicago business lawyers which has chosen to remain small, informal and located in a convenient north side neighborhood rather than downtown. We pride ourselves on providing the expertise, resources and sophistication of much larger downtown firms without the hassle, bureaucracy, impersonal nature and much greater expense of those firms. There is a strong one on one client/lawyer relationship with each client. The lawyer you choose is the one who will do your work. The reasons you should choose Kreisler Law, P.C. can be summed up in two words: Focus and Commitment We are a Chicago law firm totally focused on and committed to the needs of each client. You may expect the ultimate in diligence, loyalty and responsiveness from us: • Client Centered Responsiveness - your calls will always be answered promptly. • An Extraordinary Level of Personal Service - you will deal directly with the firm's attorneys, not through a "gate keeper" or intermediary. We answer our own calls. • Practical Efficiency - we will always guide you to the most cost effective and practical way of reaching your legal goal. • Commitment to Excellence - we are committed to doing everything possible to achieve the best possible legal result for each client. Complete client satisfaction is our top priority. • When we represent you, you may expect the utmost in honesty, integrity, loyalty and a single minded focus on achieving the results you want.

Most legal services can be provided either at an hourly rate or on a flat fee basis. Many clients prefer the predictability of flat fees; however, not all matters will lend themselves to a flat fee arrangement. During your initial evaluation, we can determine what type of fee arrangement is best suited to the situation and either set a flat fee or provide an estimate or range of your total legal costs.
