Questions
What happens after a free consultation?
After your free consultation, we'll send a client questionnaire, employment contract, and initial retainer details. Once received, we begin preparing your case documentation immediately.
How long will my divorce take?
Texas requires a 60-day minimum waiting period. Most cases resolve in 3-6 months, though complex cases may take longer depending on agreement complexity and court schedules.
Can I represent myself in divorce?
While possible, we strongly advise against self-representation due to emotional stakes and legal complexities that could impact your rights and financial future.
What will my divorce case cost?
Costs vary by case complexity. Contested cases with significant assets or custody disputes typically cost more. We encourage early resolution to minimize expenses.
What cases go to trial?
Highly contested child custody disputes and complex property division cases typically proceed to trial when parties cannot reach agreement through mediation or negotiation.
