Lawyers in Austin

Lawyers help people with legal questions and problems that are hard to handle alone, from planning how property will pass on to settling a dispute after an accident. Many offices in this listing handle estate planning and probate, mediation, personal injury and car or truck accident claims, child custody and support matters, wrongful death cases, and postnuptial agreements. A first consultation is a good way to learn whether a firm fits your situation. Ask who will actually handle your case, how they charge (flat fee, hourly, or contingency for injury claims), and whether the first meeting is free. Check that the attorney is licensed in Texas through the State Bar of Texas directory. For family and injury matters, contact a few firms early, since deadlines can be short.
