Press Release Summary: Chicago bankruptcy attorney Tom Makedonski, offers flat fees
for chapter 7 bankruptcies because technology has made it possible to save time and
pass those costs down to clients equating lower fees. Technology is the key factor
as to why fees should and can be lowered in certain areas of law such as bankruptcy.


Press Release Body: Chicago, IL,March,17,2008 -- When potential clients seek an
attorney for legal advice and see advertising regarding flat fees for various
services, the prevailing view of most potential clients is that those ads are
misleading. Teamlegalchicago.com founded by Chicago bankruptcy attorney Tom
Makedonski, is adamant when advertising flat feesthat there be no deviation or
qualifiers regarding the fee. \"I receive at least three calls a week with potential
clients asking me if there are other hidden costs or fees other than what was
advertised\" Makedonski stated.

\"Teamlegalchicago.com strives to break the mold of bait and switch advertising in
the legal field that is so prevalent, and more importantly the negative perception
that exists\" Makedonski stated. \"Seven out of ten clients that walk through my door
have already been to another firm and have walked away because they weren\'t who they
said they were when it comes to the price quoted them on the phone or advertisement\"
says Makedonski.

Teamlegalchicago.com was founded by Chicago bankruptcy attorney Tom Makedonski, in
December of 2007 as an internet entity to streamline its business based on the flat
fee model for chapter 7 bankruptcies. \"Technology is the main reason we can charge a
flat fee and still make a profit\" says Makedonski. \"Three years ago before filings
went online, we had to file petitions directly at the court building sometimes
waiting in line over an hour to see the clerk\" says Makedonski. \"This is billable
time that we can now pass down to the client as the system has become more efficient
and provides lower fees to the client\" Makedonski stated.

Chicago bankruptcy attorney Tom Makedonski has been filing chapter 7 bankruptcies
since 2000, and has taken his experiences with debtors to form teamlegalchicago.com.
\"Besides technology we are a three person law firm and are in no way trying to
compete with the big law firm that spends $50,000 a month in advertising\" says
Makedonski. \"We decided to just do one thing and keep costs down and provide the
same level of service as the big firms\" said Makedonski. \"There is no status in over
paying or hiring an attorney just because they advertise in larger media outlets\"
says Makedonski.
