A law firm built around plain answers and prepared cases.
Mahmoodis Law Firm is a new Illinois practice now being formed. We're preparing to open in three areas — immigration, business, and family law — with the kind of counsel that explains your options in ordinary language before asking you to decide anything.
The firm has not yet opened for client matters. Join the waitlist below and we'll contact you when consultations begin.
Planned practice areas
Three areas, chosen deliberately.
These are the practice areas the firm is being built around. Each is listed as planned — we'll confirm the full scope of representation when the firm opens.
All areas below are planned practice areas for a firm that has not yet opened.
Immigration
Family petitions, employment-based cases, naturalization, and the paperwork between you and a settled life here — handled with timelines you can actually see.
- Family-based petitions and adjustment of status
- Naturalization and citizenship
- Employment-based visas for small businesses
Business
Counsel for owner-operated companies: formation, contracts worth reading before signing, leases, and the disputes that are cheaper to prevent than to win.
- Entity formation and operating agreements
- Commercial contracts and leases
- Buying or selling a small business
Family
Divorce, parenting arrangements, and support — matters where how your lawyer behaves affects your family long after the case closes.
- Divorce and legal separation
- Parenting time and allocation of responsibilities
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
How we'll work
The standards we're opening with.
Most people hire a lawyer a handful of times in their life, usually under stress. The firm is being set up so that the experience is legible: you should always know what stage your matter is at, what it has cost so far, and what happens next.
These commitments will be written into our engagement letters, not just this website.
- Fees quoted before work begins Flat fees where the matter allows it; written estimates where it doesn't.
- Your file is yours Copies of everything filed or received, provided as the matter proceeds.
- Plain-language memos Every significant decision point summarized in a page you can share with your family or partners.
- No surprise withdrawals If we can't take or keep your matter, we say so early and explain why.
The firm
Who you'll find here at launch.
Principal attorney
An Illinois-licensed attorney leading the practice, responsible for every engagement the firm accepts. Attorney biography and bar details will be published here when the firm opens.
Immigration case manager
A dedicated role for keeping petitions, evidence packets, and government deadlines on schedule — and for answering "where does my case stand?" the same day you ask.
Of counsel, business matters
Experienced transactional counsel supporting the business practice on contracts, leases, and company sales as matters require.
Client intake coordinator
The first person you'll speak with: screens for conflicts, gathers documents, and books consultations so attorney time goes to your legal questions.
We publish names, photographs, and bar admissions only for people who have actually joined the firm. Until opening day, the roles above describe the team being assembled — not individuals.
Consultation waitlist
Be first in line when we open.
Tell us the kind of matter you expect to need help with. When the firm opens for consultations, waitlist members are contacted before we take general bookings. Joining the waitlist does not make you a client and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
