Cost depends on many factors, known and unknown, before filing.
For family litigation matters, a primary question is whether the case is uncontested or contested. In other words, does the case begin as an agreement with the other party or are there disagreements from the start? We charge a flat fee for uncontested cases.
Fees can be requested from the other side. However, depending on the type of case you file, do not go into any litigation case with the belief that your fees will be paid by the other party.
Success depends on what your objectives are from the start. Objectives vary from client to client. Sometimes these change during the litigation process. The firm has obtained great outcomes for our clients, for example as to who the children should reside with primarily. The firm has also successfully resolved dividing assets of high net worth individuals that dealt with complex legal issues.
The firm strives for effective one-on-one communication between the attorney and the client, so the client understands the path of their specific case.
Your priorities are the firm’s priorities. Depending on your objectives, the firm will advise you on what is the best course of action to pursue to obtain those objectives.
Mediation can be a great tool for resolving issues in family litigation cases. Most courts require this to be a part of your litigation path unless certain circumstances warrant a waiver of the requirement.
You can rest assured that the confidentiality of the consultation is maintained whether or not you hire the firm.
The majority of divorce cases where the firm has been involved have taken anywhere from 6 months to 1 year to resolve all issues. Depending on your issues, the timeframe could be shorter or longer. Even with an uncontested divorce, Texas law requires a 60-day waiting period before it can be finalized.
Don’t worry too much about the specific details and simply bring yourself for your initial consultation. This is the part where you can tell me about your life, express your concerns, ask questions, and beyond.
The firm has a flat fee retainer for all criminal cases. There is not a pre-trial fee or a trial fee. The fee is the same whether you go to trial or not.
As part of your bond requirements, there is a requirement that you attend each and every court setting. This can be waived by some courts so that only the
attorney needs to show up to court.
For DWI cases, the firm includes representation in the ALR proceeding as long as you reached out to the firm within those initial 15 days of your arrest.
Criminal cases can affect your immigration status. That is why it is important to know what type of status you have and the type of charge you are facing so that we can resolve the case in a way that does not prohibit you from remaining in the United States.
Evidence does take time to come in from the District Attorney’s Office so that the firm can begin reviewing it. Depending on the case, there may also be information and discovery to be obtained from the firm that we may be waiting on. Once the discovery is completed and reviewed, the firm will advise on the best course of
action to resolve your case.
