Our online inquiry process is easy, efficient, and popular with clients. Most routine tasks – consultations, document preparation, entity formations, and even payment – may now be handled entirely online, supplemented by an optional phone or video call. No appointment is needed to begin the process. Turn-around time is usually one to two business days from the time we receive all necessary information, copies of documents, and payment from the client.

All inquiries, new clients, and new cases are processed exclusively by means of the Client Inquiry Form. Please provide a concise summary of your case so we can determine if there is a good match between your legal issue and the professional services we provide. When and where do events occur? Who is involved? Is the case residential or commercial? Is litigation pending? What is the dollar amount? Also, what is the goal of your inquiry – a consultation? Document preparation? Representation in a real estate transaction? LLC formation? We need basic information but ask that you please limit your initial explanation to around 200 words. We can gather more detail later.
If you know what legal service you need, and that service is among those we offer, we are ready to respond promptly. Just choose the item from our comprehensive fee schedule and make payment, which then places your file in our queue. Note please that we do not create a file or download attachments until payment is made (see payment options). Let us know if you would like a no-obligation itemized statement before we begin. If you’re uncertain if we handle a particular type of case, don’t hesitate to ask.
Your inquiry is entirely confidential. Our reply will be in the form of preliminary comments (not a formal consultation or legal opinion) which may come from a legal assistant or one of our qualified associated attorneys. Cases are accepted or declined in our discretion. Our posted terms of service apply to all clients without exception, so please read them before engaging us.
Our attorney’s availability is limited, so fees apply beyond our initial response.
Thank you for your inquiry. We look forward to resolving your legal issues.
All inquiries, new clients, and new cases are processed exclusively by means of the Client Inquiry Form, NOT by phone or in the office. For online security reasons (persistent hacking attempts) we do not open online inquiries that are sent directly to our firm’s email address. Our main phone is (713) 621-3100 – but again, we require that the Client Inquiry Form be used for your initial contact. Our fax number is (832) 201-5321. Business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST, Monday through Friday, holidays excepted. This is how we define a business day for purposes of turnaround. Evening and weekend emails are considered received the next business day. For our address, see Location.
