Ming-Li's primary office is at 1301 McKinney, Suite 5100, Houston, TX, 77010-3095. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

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

• How much does it cost to hire Ming-Li for a business case?

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

• Does Ming-Li offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do business cases in Texas typically take?

  Simple business 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. Ming-Li gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Ming-Li take my case if I'm outside Houston?

  Ming-Li 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 — Ming-Li 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 Ming-Li?

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

• Is Ming-Li accepting new business clients right now?

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