Chicago Law Firm Transportation
Royal Carriage runs a chauffeur service built for the demands of Chicago law firms. NDA-bound drivers, courthouse-precise timing at Dirksen and Daley Center, separate-party routing for depositions, and monthly invoices tagged to matter numbers — the operating standard Loop firms expect, with the local routing knowledge most national platforms cannot match.
From $89/hr executive sedan · 3-hour minimum on standby · Net-30 with matter-code invoicing
Attorney Car Service Built for Chicago Firms
NDA-Bound Chauffeurs
Every driver assigned to a law firm account signs a mutual confidentiality agreement covering passenger identity, conversation, locations, and document transit. Same small bench of drivers repeats per firm to keep the circle tight.
Courthouse-Precise Timing
Dispatch knows the security queues at Dirksen, Daley Center, Leighton, and the Northern District. We stage 25 to 35 minutes ahead of a hearing or deposition, not at the door.
Discreet, Unmarked Vehicles
Executive sedans, Cadillac XTS, Mercedes S-Class, and Cadillac Escalade with no exterior livery. Tinted rear glass and blackout privacy partition available on request.
Matter-Code Invoicing
Tag each trip with a matter number and client code at booking. The monthly invoice itemizes every ride against the matter for client-bill reconciliation. PDF and CSV on the 1st of the month, net-30.
Separate-Party Routing
Opposing parties, witnesses, and counsel routed on separate dispatch tickets with non-overlapping pickup windows. The paralegal works one coordinator, not three drivers.
24/7 After-Hours Dispatch
Emergency motions, late-running depositions, weekend hearings. Dispatch is staffed around the clock with no after-hours surcharge on active monthly accounts.
Courthouse Transportation: Dirksen, Daley Center, Leighton
Different courthouses have different access patterns. Dispatch knows them, so your hearing buffer is real and your pickup curb is consistent.
Dirksen Federal Building
219 S Dearborn St, Chicago
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Security screening on the south entrance; we stage at Plymouth Court for pickup.
Richard J. Daley Center
50 W Washington St, Chicago
Cook County Circuit Court (civil, chancery, domestic relations, probate). Drop-off at Washington and Clark; pickup at the Dearborn curb to avoid Block 37 congestion.
Leighton Criminal Court
2650 S California Ave, Chicago
Cook County criminal division. Drop-off at the main entrance off California Avenue; ample staging at 26th and California for pickup.
George N. Leighton Criminal Court Annex / Daley Center Auxiliary
Chicago Loop
Mediation centers and arbitration facilities at 200 S LaSalle, 161 N Clark, and 30 N LaSalle covered as standard Loop routing.
Deposition, Mediation, and Trial Transport
A deposition has a different transportation profile than a deal closing. Counsel, opposing counsel, witnesses, and clients all need to arrive and depart without sharing a curb. Royal Carriage builds the dispatch schedule with your paralegal so each party has its own pickup window, its own vehicle, and its own driver — separate tickets, separate routing, separate billing if you want it.
For multi-day depositions or trials, we stage a vehicle at your hotel or the firm and run on-call between the office, the courthouse, and lunch. Wait time bills in 15-minute increments so a recess that runs long is not a renegotiation. For witnesses flying in, the chauffeur greets at baggage claim with a printed name card (or no card at all if you prefer), confirms the destination by encrypted text, and delivers without livery on the vehicle.
Trial team logistics — exhibit cases, easel boards, monitors — are handled with the Cadillac Escalade or a Mercedes Sprinter when the cargo requires it. Same chauffeur returns at recess and end of day so the team is not chasing a fresh driver every leg.
NDA on every chauffeur
Every driver assigned to a Royal Carriage law firm account signs a mutual confidentiality agreement at account activation. A small bench of repeat chauffeurs handles each firm so the circle stays tight across matters.
When Firms Call Us
Partner travel and client meetings
Senior associates and partners between the firm, client offices, hotels, and restaurants. The chauffeur stays on standby for the duration so meetings never end with a rideshare scramble.
Deposition and witness transport
Witnesses arriving from out of state collected at O'Hare or Midway, staged at their hotel, and delivered to the deposition. Counsel and opposing counsel routed separately on the same case.
Court-day logistics
Trial team plus exhibit cases moved from the firm to Dirksen or Daley Center on a fixed schedule with a return run at recess and end of day.
Partner-track airport circuits
Recurring O'Hare and Midway runs for partners who fly weekly to other markets. Same chauffeur, same vehicle when scheduling allows, billed to the firm on net-30.
Lateral interview transport
Candidates collected from the airport, staged at a hotel, moved to the interview without firm signage on the vehicle. Discretion through the entire arc.
Late-night associate runs
Associates working past dispatch hours collected from the firm and returned home. Booked directly through the portal or by phone; charged to the firm rather than out-of-pocket.

Law Firm Transportation FAQ
Yes. Every chauffeur on a Royal Carriage law firm account signs a mutual confidentiality agreement at the time of account activation. The NDA covers passenger identity, conversation content, pickup and drop-off locations, and any documents in transit. We also assign a small bench of repeat chauffeurs per firm so the same drivers handle your work — reducing the surface area of who knows what about your matters.
