Read about these mattersDefamation
A statement can travel farther than the room it was said in.
The firm handles defamation on its own, not as a footnote to employment. That includes a false statement about you or your business, and it includes a claim filed against you for something you said or wrote.
Texas deadlines in this area are short, and the anti-SLAPP statute can shift fees. If you have been served or a date is already on a calendar, call (309) 391-3489.
How to start
The first call is free. After that, work is quoted in fixed blocks of time, so you know the price up front.
A free 15-minute call
Andrew checks for conflicts, listens, and tells you whether the firm is a fit. If it is not, he will say so.
A fixed block, in writing
The work is quoted as a block of time at $400 an hour. If it needs more, you approve a new block first. How fees work.
Prefer to write it all down first? The confidential intake has you sign a limited consultation agreement before you tell the story. How that works.
