Attorney Mario R. Theodore founded Fair Price Legal to bridge the gap between quality counsel and affordability. His earliest professional role at the Cook County Sheriff’s Department of Corrections exposed him to the harsh reality that justice often favors those with means. Motivated by friends and relatives who struggled to find honest advocates, he pursued a journalism degree at Columbia College Chicago before earning his law degree from UIC. As a public defender, Mario handled cases ranging from minor infractions to serious felonies, honing both legal strategy and a client-centered approach. Reestablishing Fair Price Legal in 2021, he focuses on family law, immigration services reflecting his personal heritage, and comprehensive life planning—including wills and real estate matters. Collaborations with the Florida Coalition for Domestic Violence and the Florida Police Benevolent Association have enriched his perspective. Mario’s mission remains clear: deliver empathetic, principled legal support at a fair price.

He focused on the law. What a novel idea! He handled our case with integrity and wisdom! Ultimately, it was his t...

In an unfair divorce, the natural reaction is to make the other person bleed. There will be however a clear day in the future when you will have to look back at yourself and say," was I honorable?" Mr.Theodore won my case with ease and grace. We took all the nasty hits from the opponent and they fe...
