What Codilis & Associates, P.C. does

Codilis & Associates, P.C. is a privately held law firm founded in 1977 that delivers real estate legal services through a family of affiliated firms operating across six U.S. states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, and Wisconsin. The firm serves three primary client segments: institutional lenders and financial institutions requiring default servicing support (foreclosure, bankruptcy, loss mitigation, REO title and closing), individual property owners needing real estate transaction and closing legal services, and immigration clients pursuing EB-1A extraordinary ability visa petitions and permanent residency. Entity structure varies by jurisdiction, using professional corporations (P.C.) and a limited liability company (LLC) depending on state regulatory requirements.

The firm's core technology asset is DART, a proprietary case management system that supports the entire staff and enables client-facing reporting on transaction status. The service portfolio is anchored by default services (foreclosure, bankruptcy, loss mitigation, REO title and closings, litigation, HOA/condo assessments, evictions), real estate legal services for residential and commercial transactions, immigration services focused on EB-1A visas, and REO transaction services including title curative work and entity formation. In the 2020s, the firm expanded into loss mitigation assistance programs, commercial transactions, and origination services to broaden its practice mix.

Revenue is generated through professional legal fees on a quote-based, matter-by-matter basis. Institutional clients (lenders, financial institutions) engage the firm under multi-year professional service arrangements for default servicing volume, while individual property transactions and immigration matters are quoted per engagement. The go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: the firm reaches clients through direct attorney-client relationships, industry referrals, and established reputation across six states, with limited public-facing digital marketing. The firm reports high employee tenure (150+ employees at 10+ years of service, 25 at 25+ years), indicates a promote-from-within culture, and has no external investors, private equity, or venture capital backing per the source material.
