Working with a new ip attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Allan usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Allan discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in ip practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Allan for a ip case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Allan walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Allan offer a free consultation?

  Allan charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Allan's office. Some ip attorneys offer free consults — check Allan's current terms during booking.

• How long do ip cases in Texas typically take?

  Simple ip matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Allan gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Allan take my case if I'm outside Houston?

  Allan is licensed in Texas. Matters governed by Texas law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Allan will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Allan?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Allan will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Allan accepting new ip clients right now?

  Allan's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
