* Statistics as of March 16, 2006, based on the 100 most recently closed Texas divorce cases. Although I didn't take any of my last 100 cases to trial, 5% hired a more aggressive attorney to replace me to get ready for trial.

I Guarantee It!

1. Flat Fee Guarantee

If you believe your Texas divorce will be settled by agreement, I will quote you a flat fee in our initial consultation. The flat fee will cover all legal services needed for an agreed Texas divorce along the terms we discussed. If you and your spouse come to an agreement as we discussed in our initial meeting, I guarantee that the flat fee will be the total fee. No retainers, no deposits, no hourly billing. No additional charges will be incurred without your advance approval. No surprises from your divorce lawyer.

2. Total Satisfaction with Representation Guarantee

Things often happen in a divorce that make clients unhappy. They are usually decisions that your spouse has made, or that your spouse's attorney has made, or even that a judge or jury has made. I have no control over those, and I don’t guarantee anybody else’s actions. However, if you are dissatisfied with the representation I have given you, just let me know, and I will refund 100% of the fees you have paid me in the last 30 days. Of course, this only applies to my fees, and not for money you have given me to give to someone else, such as court costs, or a fee paid to another divorce lawyer to prepare specialized documents.

3. No Legalese Guarantee

I promise to communicate with you in English. I may refer to certain documents, procedures, or hearings by their legal name, but I promise to tell you what's happening with your case in everyday language free of jargon and legalese. If you catch me using unnecessary jargon in my emails, letters, or phone calls with you, just call me on it and I'll buy you a dinner for two. This does not apply to documents to be filed with the court or letters to other Dallas Texas divorce lawyer.

4. Your Time is Valuable Guarantee

I won’t keep you waiting in my lobby like my doctor does. If I don’t see you by 5 minutes after our scheduled time, there will be no charge for our consultation.
