Petition set, legal brief, opening/closing statements, direct & cross-exam scripts, plus pro se courtroom scripts to read in court. Your name appears on filings instead of the firm’s. Every document is drafted specifically for your case — these are not templates.

Avg. ~$2,000 flat rate — varies by case complexity, subpoenas required, etc. Attorney may cancel hearing & withdraw if 3rd payment not received by 1 week prior to hearing date. Overage court time billed at $400/hr — due within 7 days of date of service.
Phase 3 — Investigative (Often Optional)
Discovery, depositions, subpoenas, evidence gathering, child custody evaluations, amicus attorney appointments & other court-ordered assessments as needed for your case. Not every case requires this phase.

Phase 5 — Final Trial
Final trial preparation, trial appearance, and entry of final order with the court.
Complexity-based pricing. All final trial payments due 90 days prior to trial date.

Accepting cases across Texas. DFW metroplex counties — no travel fee. (Dallas, Tarrant, Collin & Denton) Counties outside DFW: $150/hr travel time from DFW Airport north.
Attorney must agree to accept case before representation begins. Each stage is billed separately — pay only for the stages your case requires. Not all cases qualify for flat-fee staged representation.
