What to Expect When You Reach Out
When you call, you’ll speak with a knowledgeable team member who can answer basic questions about our services and schedule a consultation with the appropriate attorney.
During your initial consultation, we’ll ask about the details of your case, review any relevant documents you’ve brought, and explain how Texas law applies to your situation. For eminent domain cases, we often need to see the acquisition notice and any appraisals you’ve received. If you’re dealing with probate matters, having a copy of the will or trust documents helps us give you more specific advice.
We’ll also discuss our fee structure during this meeting. Some matters work on a contingency basis, while others require retainer agreements. We’ll explain which applies to your case and answer any questions you have about billing.
After your consultation, you’ll know whether we’re the right fit for your legal needs. If we take on your case, we’ll outline the next steps and timeline. If another type of attorney would serve you better, we’ll tell you that too.
Practice Areas We Handle
Our attorneys concentrate on several specific areas of law, each requiring distinct knowledge and experience.
Eminent Domain
We represent landowners, homeowners, and commercial property owners when government entities or utility companies seek to acquire private property. Our work focuses on securing fair compensation for property taken or damaged by public projects.
Estate Planning
We help individuals and families create wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other planning documents. Our elder law services address the unique needs of aging clients and their families.
Probate and Trust Administration
When someone dies, their estate often requires court supervision. We guide executors and administrators through the probate process, handle will contests, and address disputes over estate administration.
Personal Injury
Our personal injury practice handles cases where negligence or wrongful conduct has caused physical harm. We work on a contingency basis for these matters, meaning you don’t pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Real Estate
Property transactions, disputes, and title issues fall within our real estate practice. We assist with purchases, sales, boundary disputes, and contract matters.
Business Law
We handle copyrights and trademarks, business formations, contract disputes, and commercial litigation. Protecting intellectual property and resolving business conflicts requires attention to both legal requirements and practical business concerns.
Preparing for Your Consultation
Coming to your first meeting prepared helps us give you better advice and makes more efficient use of your time.
1Gather Relevant Documents
Bring any paperwork related to your legal matter. For property cases, this includes deeds, surveys, and notices from government entities. Estate matters require wills, trust documents, or death certificates. Personal injury cases benefit from medical records and accident reports.
2Write Down Your Questions
Legal consultations cover a lot of ground quickly. Having your questions written down ensures you don't forget to ask about something important. Questions about timeline, costs, and likely outcomes top most clients' lists.
3Organize a Timeline
If your case involves events that happened over time, creating a simple chronology helps your attorney understand the sequence. When did you receive the condemnation notice? When did the accident occur? When did you discover the contract breach?
4Note Any Deadlines
Texas law imposes strict deadlines for many legal actions. If you've received any notices with response dates, bring those to your attorney's attention immediately. Missing a deadline can eliminate your legal options.
Common Questions Asked Of Our Law Firm
Do you charge for initial consultations?
Yes. When you call to schedule your appointment, we'll explain the fee structure for your type of case.
How long will my case take?
Legal timelines depend on many factors: court schedules, case complexity, whether settlement negotiations succeed, and how quickly government agencies respond. During your consultation, we can give you a realistic timeframe based on similar cases we've handled.
What are your office hours?
Our standard office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. We're closed on weekends and major holidays. If you're facing an urgent situation outside our regular schedule, leave a detailed message explaining the nature of your emergency. We monitor these messages and respond to time-sensitive matters as quickly as possible.
Do you take cases from other parts of Texas?
We sometimes work with clients from other parts of Texas, particularly in eminent domain cases involving state highway projects or pipeline easements. The key factor is whether we're licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where your case will be heard.
What if my legal need is outside your practice areas?
We maintain relationships with attorneys who practice in areas outside our focus. If your legal need falls outside our practice areas, we can often suggest other lawyers who might be able to help.
