Consultation fees vary based on the complexity of your situation. A straightforward question about a small estate is different from a contested will case heading into Harris County Probate Court. In our experience, Houston families are most frustrated by surprise fees. We don't do that. You'll know what the consultation costs before we start. If your situation calls for ongoing legal work, we'll explain those fees clearly too. Complex cases involving multiple heirs, out-of-state assets, or disputed trusts will naturally take more time to review.
Here are the questions Houston clients ask us most often before their first call.
Fees typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on your situation. A simple question about a small estate costs less than a review of a contested will. Troy Moore explains the cost before the consultation starts. You won't be surprised by the bill.
Most consultations run 30 to 60 minutes. More complex situations may take longer. Troy moves at your pace. The goal is to make sure you leave with real clarity, not a rushed answer.
Some simple matters can be handled without legal help. But Texas probate and estate law has real traps. One missed deadline in Harris County Probate Court can cost your family thousands. In our experience, a short consultation prevents far bigger problems down the road.
A consultation is a focused conversation to review your situation and explain your options. Hiring an attorney means ongoing representation in your case. Many clients start with a consultation to understand what they're dealing with. Then they decide whether to move forward with full representation.
Call right away. Troy Moore has a 24/7 emergency text line for exactly this reason. Probate deadlines and court filing windows don't wait. If you've received a legal notice or a family dispute is escalating, don't sit on it.
If you're unsure, that's already a sign you should call. Common triggers include a recent death in the family. Being named as executor is another trigger. Receiving a legal notice can trigger it too. Worrying about your assets is also common. We've seen families in Bellaire and West University Place wait too long and lose options they didn't know they had.
