• How much does it cost to hire Marshall for a probate case?

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

• Does Marshall offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do probate cases in Texas typically take?

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

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

  Marshall 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 — Marshall 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 Marshall?

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

• Is Marshall accepting new probate clients right now?

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