Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois

I have to be a Pro Se plaintiff on a breach of contract. Since the amount does not have a cost benefit according to a couple attorney.

I have compiled a 265 page brief/case and I am in desperate need of professional review. The other side is a company and will likely have an attorney representing them. Attorneys are experts with "words and phrases". Which scares me because I'm just a computer geek.

Is there a type of help or advising an attorney is allowed to do like prepare me for opposition attack or review my documents? I don't mind paying for that kind of help. I would feel more confident when I have to actually go to court.

I live in Chicago. So how would an attorney contact me through lawguru if someone would want to help me?

Thanks

Well, if your case doesn't warrant the cost for an attorney to represent you in it, it's unlikely a professional review of your 265 page "brief" of your case warrant's the cost of a professional review of that document.

I would strongly suggest editing your "brief." A lot. A whole lot. Put yourself in the judge's position. Are you even to the point that a brief is warranted, or are you trying to file your complaint? You might want to review the Illinois rules of civil procedure to get a handle on what you need to do and when.
