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. Your inquiry is confidential. Our reply will be in the form of general preliminary comments (not a formal consultation or legal opinion) that may come from a legal assistant or qualified associated attorney. Fees apply beyond our initial response (no free attorney time is available). You become our client only after we are monetarily retained and agree to represent you. Until then, we have no obligations regarding your case. These and other terms of service apply to everyone without exception. If you’re uncertain if we handle a particular type of case, don’t hesitate to ask. Let us know if you would like a no-obligation itemized statement before we begin.
Please provide a concise summary of your case so we can determine if there is a good match between your legal issue and the 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 involved? Also, what is the goal of your inquiry? A consultation? Document preparation or review? Representation? LLC formation? Asset protection planning? We need basic information but ask that you please limit your initial explanation to around 200 words. We can gather more detail and documents later.
Only a limited number of new clients are being considered at this time. We sincerely regret that we cannot assist all inquirers or accept all cases.
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, weekend, and holiday emails are considered received on the next business day and are placed in our queue accordingly. For our address, see Location.
