FAQs about Houston, TX Lawyers

What do lawyers charge for a will in Houston?

Most Houston lawyers charge from $250 to over $2,000 to write a will. The amount you’re charged will largely depend on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the job. Experienced lawyers in Houston typically charge $500 or more.

What are the different powers of attorney in Texas?

A power of attorney is legal documentation that gives someone else the legal right to make decisions on your behalf about your finances or medical care. While the person does not have to be a legal professional, they should be someone you trust. In Texas, there are five different types of powers of attorney, including general, limited, durable, springing, and medical. A general power of attorney is the most popular, as this authorizes an agent to handle a wide range of decisions for you. Note that this ends if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. Other powers of attorney—durable, springing, and medical—give the agent authority to act in that case. To find a lawyer in Houston, TX who can help you with estate planning, use UpCounsel.

What is a retainer fee for a lawyer?

A retainer fee is an upfront fee that many Houston attorneys and lawyers charge so their clients can secure services with them. These fees help lawyers get paid even if their client changes their mind and the lawyer has to drop the case mid-way through. Retainer fees are typically non-refundable, but check with your local Houston, TX law firm before making any payments to avoid future misunderstandings.

Register Trademark

Rosario Sorrentino

"Rosario was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout my trademark matter. He reviewed a complex trademark ownership dispute involving a competing USPTO application and provided a detailed written legal opinion within 24 hours. His analysis was thorough, practical, and easy to understand, and he took the time to explain both the legal and business implications of the situation. I especially appreciated his honest advice, cost-conscious approach, and focus on finding the most effective path forward rather than pursuing unnecessary litigation. I highly recommend Rosario for trademark, intellectual property, and business-related legal matters."

Assist with Equity Compensation

Anna Claxton

"Anna delivered exceptional work for our pre-seed startup. We engaged her for an IP Assignment Agreement, Independent Contractor Agreement, and supporting structural documents to onboard our first international contractor. Her drafting judgment improved on the working draft we provided. The contractor classification provisions, performance equity grant mechanics, and cross-border tax framework were noticeably more rigorous than the starting point. She also handled UK and Nigerian considerations substantively (UK Copyright Designs and Patents Act moral rights waiver, IR35 framework, Nigerian tax representations), which is rare at her price point. Practical orientation throughout. She delivered a plain-language roadmap alongside the IP Assignment Agreement, making it usable for both the contractor signing it and the founder explaining it. Responsive on revisions and clear in communication. Anna combines senior general counsel depth with the responsiveness of a solo practice. For founders needing a thoughtful attorney for foundational corporate, IP, and employment documents, especially with international dimensions, I recommend her without reservation."
