Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

agent
get_agent_resources
List this site's machine-readable resources for AI agents: llms.txt, API catalog, OpenAPI spec, agent skills index, auth policy, and this MCP server.
estimate
estimate_seller_net_sheet
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.
flat
get_flat_fees
Get the published flat legal fees for Abdilla and Associates (Illinois): real estate closings, landlord-side evictions by county, and LLC formation. Static published data; no personal information required.
open
open_seller_closing_file
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.
prepare
prepare_eviction_notice
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.
request
request_document_pack
Request a free pack of Illinois legal form PDFs by email: 'notices' (5-Day, 10-Day, 30-Day eviction notices), 'no-lease' (no-lease and squatter eviction packet), or 'business-exit' (exit-readiness worksheets). IMPORTANT: only call this with the user's explicit consent to share their email address; the law firm will follow up at that address. Returns the list of PDF download links.
send
send_eviction_notice_for_review
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.
submit
submit_identity_protection_intake
Submit an identity protection intake to the firm for matters like online impersonation, stolen photos, deepfakes, BIPA violations, or false reviews. IMPORTANT: only call this with the user's explicit consent; the firm will contact them directly. Requires name, phone, and email.

The Chicagoland Lawyer — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Chicagoland Lawyer do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: estimate_seller_net_sheet, get_agent_resources, get_flat_fees, open_seller_closing_file, prepare_eviction_notice, request_document_pack and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is The Chicagoland Lawyer working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 120 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect The Chicagoland Lawyer?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does The Chicagoland Lawyer need an API key?
No. The Chicagoland Lawyer completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is The Chicagoland Lawyer?
It answers our handshake in 120 ms on average, which is faster than 89% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
