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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Shermen for a government case?

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

• Does Shermen offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do government cases in Texas typically take?

  Simple government 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. Shermen gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Shermen take my case if I'm outside Dallas?

  Shermen 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 — Shermen 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 Shermen?

  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. Shermen will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Shermen accepting new government clients right now?

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