Rapid Response Litigation

Litigation Bootcamp

Just Served With A Litigation Lawsuit – What Should I do Next?

If you’ve been served with a litigation lawsuit and named a defendant, we are here to help with:

  • Immediate review of the lawsuit to determine how serious and exposure.
  • Timelines to hire counsel and file answers.
  • Defenses to the claims.
  • Counterclaims you can fire back at the plaintiffs.

Unlike many law firms, our initial review of the petition or lawsuit and first appointment is without charge.  We don’t write memos to the file; we go to battle and rapidly.

Can You Take This Case On Contingency Fee Basis?

No. Contingent fees cases typically relate to personal injury and car wrecks, not more complex economic damage cases. Our fees are hourly and we set a retainer which is an amount you pay the Firm which is held in trust in a designated account in accordance with the State of Texas Bar requirements.

How Much Will It Cost?

It depends on the facts and each case is different.  Once we talk to you, we will give you an estimate if we decide to represent you.

How Quickly Can You Start?

Immediately.  We have sufficient staff across Texas to protect your rights.

Where Are Your Offices Located?

Across the entire state.  We have Nine offices in all the major cities and others in between.  We are licensed to practice in all courts state and federal.
