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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Truett for a general case?

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

• Does Truett offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do general cases in Texas typically take?

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

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

  Truett 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 — Truett 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 Truett?

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

• Is Truett accepting new general clients right now?

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