Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Initial Case Review & Strategy Call?
It’s a private consultation where an experienced defense attorney reviews the key facts of your situation, explains your rights, outlines possible legal options, and provides guidance on next steps based on your case.
How long does the case review take?
Most calls last 30–45 minutes, depending on the complexity of your situation and your questions. The goal is to give you clarity without rushing the conversation.
Who is this case review for?
This call is for anyone facing criminal charges, investigations, or legal uncertainty who wants to understand their options before deciding what to do next—whether this is your first offense or not.
Do you handle cases outside of Houston?
Yes. We are headquartered in Houston but serve clients in real estate disputes across all of Texas.
Will the firm take my case on contingency?
No. Real estate litigation matters are handled as retainer-based engagements. Retainers begin at $7,500 and increase based on complexity, urgency, and scope of work.
How long does a real estate litigation case take?
There is no honest one-size-fits-all answer. Some disputes can be evaluated and resolved relatively quickly. Others take months or years depending on the claims, the court, the number of parties, the volume of documents, whether emergency relief is involved, whether discovery becomes contested, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Timing depends on the actual dispute.
What if I co-own property with someone and we cannot agree on what to do with it?
That may raise a partition issue. In Texas, partition actions can be used to divide or force sale of certain jointly owned real property where co-owners cannot agree. These cases can become contentious, especially where occupancy, reimbursement claims, management disputes, or family dynamics are involved. The firm handles partition-related disputes.
What if the dispute involves title, ownership, or possession?
That may involve claims such as trespass to try title, quiet title, declaratory judgment, boundary-related claims, adverse possession, or related theories depending on the facts. Title and ownership disputes often require careful review of deeds, chains of title, possession history, surveys, communications, and other records. These are not matters to approach casually.
What if the issue is construction-related?
Construction-related real estate disputes may involve breach of contract, warranties, the Residential Construction Liability Act, mechanic’s lien issues, fraud-related theories, or property damage claims depending on the facts. Real estate disputes often overlap with construction, payment, and project-performance issues.
Can the firm guarantee an outcome?
No serious litigation firm should guarantee an outcome. Real estate disputes depend on facts, documents, credibility, law, venue, timing, and what can be proven. The firm focuses on strategic evaluation, quality service, and practical legal guidance rather than overpromising results.

Retainers begin at $7,500 and increase based on complexity, urgency, number of parties, quality and quantity of documents, procedural posture, and the work reasonably required to protect the client’s position. That retainer structure is designed to match the legal reality of the dispute rather than pretending every case is identical.
