• How much does it cost to hire Vance for a family law case?

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

• Does Vance offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do family law cases in Texas typically take?

  Simple family law 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. Vance gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Vance take my case if I'm outside Waco?

  Vance 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 — Vance 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 Vance?

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

• Is Vance accepting new family law clients right now?

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