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

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

• Does Garth offer a free consultation?

• 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. Garth gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Garth take my case if I'm outside Austin?

  Garth 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 — Garth 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 Garth?

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

• Is Garth accepting new ip clients right now?

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