Answers about office space, paralegal services, virtual office plans, and law firm support in Chicago — and Chicagoland.
Ask Us DirectlyAmata's Business Address plan starts at $69/month — a prestigious Class-A Chicago Loop address at 77 W Wacker, 150 S Wacker, 181 W Madison, or 33 N Dearborn (steps from the Daley Center). Includes mail handling and conference room access. Cancel with 30 days notice, no long-term commitment.
Amata provides on-site paralegal services at $75/hour and offshore virtual paralegal support at $35/hour, billed in 1/10th-hour increments with no minimum commitment. Most attorneys bill paralegal time directly to clients — the service often pays for itself. Compare that to a full-time Chicago paralegal costing $90,000–$130,000+ in salary before benefits.
A virtual law office gives your firm a prestigious Chicago Loop business address without renting physical space. Amata's plans start at $23/month (phone) and $69/month (business address). The Virtual Office plan ($205/month) adds conference room access, live reception, and mail handling. Virtual Office Plus ($368/month) adds 24/7 keycard access, day-office credits, and Amata Coins for paralegal and admin services.
Yes. Amata provides experienced on-site paralegals at $75/hour with no minimum hours, no retainer, and no long-term contract. All work is performed under the supervision of a licensed attorney as required by Illinois bar rules.
A law firm answering service provides live receptionists who answer calls in your firm's name. Amata's Chicago-based legal receptionists handle new client intake, call screening, and deliver summaries. Base plan starts at $29/month with a 21-day money-back guarantee. For solo attorneys, this is one of the highest-ROI services available — a missed call is often a missed client.
33 N Dearborn is a 3-minute walk from the Richard J. Daley Center — the primary venue for Cook County civil and domestic relations cases. It's also within short walking distance of the Leighton Criminal Court Building and major Cook County agencies.
No. All Amata office agreements allow cancellation with 30 days notice — no long-term lease and no penalty. You can drop or add offices anytime. Over 1,800 law firms have used Amata since 2002.
Amata clients report saving 60% or more vs. hiring full-time. A full-time paralegal + admin in Chicago costs $180,000+ annually. With Amata you pay only for hours worked — and paralegal time billed to clients can offset much of the cost.
Amata serves solo attorneys, small law firms of 1–10 attorneys, and professional service firms across all five Chicago-area locations — serving Cook County, DuPage County, and Lake County. Over 1,800 firms have used Amata since 2002.
Real reviews from real Chicago attorneys.
Rated 4.6 stars on Google across all Chicago Loop locations.
Amata has been a game changer for my solo practice. The paralegals are sharp, the admin team handles my calls professionally, and I pay a fraction of what a full-time hire would cost.
The location at 33 N Dearborn is minutes from the courthouse — that alone is worth it. The staff handle my calls like they're part of my firm. Clients have no idea I'm a solo attorney.
I've recommended Amata to four other attorneys. The fractional support packages save me over 60% compared to hiring full-time. Responsive, professional, and they genuinely care.
