A Commitment to Excellence<\/h3>

While the yearly number of cases which we take totals to an insurmountable number, unparalleled by any other Houston, TX law firm, our percentage of wins is record-breaking too\u2026 Just to drop some statistics here, in more than 9000 cases that we have ever taken on, a whopping 98% of those (which is 9800+) were the cases which we eventually won\u2026<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A Passion for Justice<\/h3>

With our legal principles and our desire for justice being our first and foremost value, we always try to diversify the range of cases which we take on. That is perfectly shown when you notice that our civil\/business cases are divided absolutely evenly. That means that besides helping good, big and small businesses we also help thousands of small men and women!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An Urge for Fair Pricing<\/h3>

On par with our passion for justice and excellence, the third work ethic which we stand by is the fair pricing. While we have the most winning cases as opposed to any other Houston, TX law firm, we\u2019ve also got the lowest pricing among them all. That is due to the simple fact, that in our opinion, a decent lawyer should charge a price that is nation-wide affordable!<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A:<\/span> We understand how much of a thought should one give before making that final decision of hiring a lawyer\u2026<\/p>\n\n

That is why our first consultation was, is and will always remain to be FREE of charge.<\/p>\n\n

The $1 bill that you will have to pay is plain and simple reserved solely for one technical reason.\nThat is so a lawyer must be in at least some way hired or paid to so to be obliged to the \u201cconfidentiality rule\u201d\u2026<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A:<\/span> We value the huge importance of lawyer-client communication and we always keep the transparency between attorney and a client.<\/p>\n\n

Although we would like to talk to you bi-weekly on the phone, that would be neither practical nor productive. Legal matters are known to be stretched in time and so we think it\u2019s best of all to keep you updated on the new comings. To you, it may often seem like ages have gone by with no activity or actions taking place. However, in reality, much behind-the-scenes paperwork never one but paralegals will do is being completed. All for a sole goal, that on the day your matter is ready with no smallest issue overlooked. In order to keep the price of legal services down while extending communications, we will work to keep you informed when anything important happens. So to respond to your questions in a reasonable time, we\u2019ll reserve a weekly phone connection. In addition, we will inform you when your presence is required, either in our office or in court.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

Q: What will the legal service cost?<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A:<\/span> First and foremost, each of our clients is fully entitled to know exactly of the pricing. So at your very first visit, we\u2019ll give you an approximation of what your fee will be looking like at the end of the day. We encourage a frank, open discussion about our fees with each client at the time of the first interview.<\/p>\n\n

Usually, and in our company\u2019s case as well, the lawyer on the case gets paid under various fee arrangements. Such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

Hourly fee:<\/span><\/p>\n

On an hourly fee basis, fees are based on an hourly rate for services which were provided by our team and individual lawyers and paralegals. A detailed, itemized bill will be given to you showing all work done on your case.<\/p>\n\n

Flat fee:<\/span><\/p>\n

When counted within the flat fee basis, your legal bill is a fixed sum for agreed upon services. In such an arrangement of fees, no in-detail accounting will be made.<\/p>\n\n

Contingency fee:<\/span><\/p>\n

On a contingency fee basis, your legal fees will be based on the amount of recovery and productivity we get for you in the court.<\/p>\n\n

This approach basically means \u2013 no recovery, no fee. You may have the option of choosing this plan in lieu of hourly charges. Not all cases qualify for the contingency basis; we will tell you if yours does.<\/p>\n\n

Other potential fees:<\/span><\/p>\n

A pre-payment type of legal fee is usually required in order to begin to process your matter and you will be kept advised as to how that pre-payment is being used. We\u2019ll always keep you up with detailed bills and payments made on your case\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n\n

Certain cases may have a minimum fee. This means that no hourly accounting will be made unless excess time is expended.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
