Our process for offering online legal services in Texas is easy, efficient, and popular with clients. Routine tasks – consultations, document preparation, entity formations, and payment – may now be handled entirely online, supplemented by an optional phone or video call.
“Nice dealing with an expert! Mr. Willis answered all my questions the same day. Being able to do everything online saved us numerous trips to office. His book is very helpful also.”
Initial consultations with new clients are available online only. A specific appointment time is not required. For step-by-step instructions, please review our consultation process and fees.
If you know exactly what you want (a warranty deed, for instance), then you can bypass the consultation phase and go straight to a document request. However, complex document requests require an initial consultation.
Our availability is limited to traditional business hours (CST) subject to our vacation schedule.
No fees are incurred at the initial inquiry stage. Our introductory online consultation fee for most new clients is $250 (limitations apply).
Most of our fees are based on flat fees rather than hourly billing. See our schedule of legal fees and services.
“David is an incredibly knowledgeable and thorough attorney. His process is efficient and straightforward, and his guidance is superb.”
“Words cannot express how grateful my family and I are for Mr. Willis’ work. He truly made us feel as if we were his only clients, which really made us feel at ease in this very stressful and difficult situation. Even though we didn’t get to meet in person, I really must emphasize that Mr. Willis did a lot more for us via online than the attorneys we did meet in person.”

“David offers old-fashioned professionalism with a modern approach.”
All inquiries, new clients, and new cases are confidentially processed by means of the Client Inquiry Form below. Our reply will be in the form of preliminary comments (not a formal consultation or legal opinion) that may come from a legal assistant.
Becoming our client requires that (1) we expressly accept the case, (2) we receive a copy of valid photo ID, and (3) we receive the required retainer. See answers to frequently asked questions relating to our legal services and fees.
We ask for a concise summary of basic facts to determine if there is a match between your legal issues 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? Transactional representation? LLC formation? Asset protection planning?
Please limit your initial inquiry to around 200 words. We can gather more detail and documents later.
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.
For our mailing and physical addresses, see Location.
We require a copy of government-issued photo identification. Also, be sure you are dealing with our authentic website, www.LoneStarLandLaw.com.
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, which varies with workload. Evening, weekend, and holiday emails are considered received on the next business day and are placed in our queue accordingly. View our vacation schedule.
You become our client only after we expressly agree to advise you and we are monetarily retained. Until then, we provide no specific legal advice upon which you may rely and have no obligations regarding your case. These and other terms of service apply to everyone without exception, so please read these policies before engaging us.
