You will know the cost before you commit — in writing

How fees work here

  • We go through your situation first. Cost is discussed in that conversation, not after.
  • You get the fee for your case quoted in writing before you sign anything.
  • If your case ever needs trial work, that is a separate written agreement, agreed before the work starts.
  • Nothing is filed, signed, or started until you say so. Some people take weeks to decide. That is normal.

Common questions

Is the first conversation really confidential?

Yes. What you tell us in a consultation stays between you and the firm, whether or not you hire us and whether or not anything is ever filed. We do not contact your spouse, the other parent, or their lawyer.

I was served. What happens if I do nothing?

If no written answer is filed by the date on your citation, the case can proceed by default. That means a judge can divide property, set support, and decide a schedule for your children after hearing one side. Filing an answer preserves your say; it does not force a fight.

How long does a divorce take in Texas?

Texas Family Code § 6.702 bars a court from granting a divorce before the 60th day after the case is filed, with a narrow family-violence exception. Agreed cases often conclude close to that mark. Contested cases run longer, depending on what is disputed and on the court's schedule.

I don't know if I can afford this. Should I still call?

Yes. That is exactly why the fee is quoted in writing before you commit. You hear the cost in the first conversation and can walk away after hearing it.

What does "Calls Answered 24/7" mean, exactly?

It means your call is answered by a person around the clock rather than going to an empty voicemail box. It does not mean an attorney is standing by at 3 a.m. Your information is taken and you get a call back.

Is my visit to this page private?

We do not know who you are unless you contact us, and we will not contact anyone on your behalf. This page cannot delete your browser history. If your device is shared, calling from a phone you trust is the safer route.
