Everything here is general information. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for advice from a lawyer about your particular document or circumstances. Do not act, or decline to act, on the basis of anything you read on this site.
You upload your document and tell us what you are trying to achieve. The page count determines the flat fee. You are then presented with a written engagement agreement. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when you have accepted that agreement and your flat fee has been paid.
Because your document reaches us before that point, we treat everything you send as confidential from the moment we receive it, and use it only to evaluate your request and, if we accept the matter, to perform your redline. If we decline your matter for any reason, your fee is refunded in full and your materials are deleted or returned at your election.
For a published flat fee, a licensed attorney reviews one contract governed by Texas law and returns three things: a redlined copy showing each proposed change as a tracked change; a clean copy incorporating those changes; and an email explaining the changes in plain English. Proposed revisions are drafted from your side of the transaction, to advance the objectives you state at intake.
The flat fee does not include negotiating or communicating with the counterparty or their counsel; drafting a new agreement from scratch; advice on the law of any jurisdiction other than Texas; tax, accounting, insurance or business-valuation advice; litigation, filings, court appearances or representation in any dispute; ongoing representation after delivery; or any assurance that the counterparty will accept any proposed revision.
Whether a counterparty accepts a proposed revision is outside our control. It turns on the parties' relative bargaining positions, their commercial priorities and their own counsel's advice. We do not promise, predict or guarantee any particular result, and nothing on this website should be read as doing so. Prior engagements do not guarantee a similar outcome in your matter.
This service is offered for documents governed by Texas law. If your document is governed by another jurisdiction's law we may decline the engagement or refer you to other counsel, and your fee is refunded in full.
Before accepting a matter we check for conflicts. When you submit a document you must identify the counterparty and any affiliated entities you are aware of. We may decline any matter on conflict grounds without explanation, in which case your fee is refunded in full. Please do not send information you regard as especially sensitive until we confirm that we can accept your matter.
Fees are flat and are set by the length of the document you submit:
| Document length | Flat fee | Second round | Expedite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 pages | $250 | $125 | +$150 |
| 11 to 25 pages | $450 | $225 | +$250 |
| 26 to 50 pages | $700 | $350 | +$400 |
| More than 50 pages | Quoted | Quoted | Quoted |
Page count is determined from the document as submitted, including all exhibits, schedules and attachments. If your document falls into a higher tier than the one you paid for, we will tell you before starting work and you may either pay the difference or take a full refund. Fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes. The fee shown at checkout governs your order.
Standard turnaround is two to three business days. Next-business-day expedite is available for an additional fee. The period begins on the latest of: receipt of your complete document; receipt of your stated objectives; clearance of payment; and our confirmation that we have accepted your matter. Business days exclude weekends and United States federal holidays. If we miss a paid expedite deadline for reasons within our control, the expedite fee is refunded.
If a deliverable fails to address an objective you stated at intake, or contains an error on our part, we correct it at no charge. That is completion of your original engagement, not a new one. Please raise any such matter within fourteen days of delivery.
A second-round review is different. It covers a materially revised version of the same document — most commonly a counterparty's counter-markup — or a change in your objectives. It is charged at the second-round rate in the table above and is a separate engagement under these same terms.
Refunds are governed by the engagement agreement you accept for your matter. In outline: before we accept your matter, or where we decline it for conflict, jurisdiction or scope, the entire fee is refunded. After acceptance but before substantive review begins, the entire fee is refunded. After substantive review begins but before delivery, half the fee is refunded. After delivery the fee is earned and is not refundable, and your remedy is the corrective work described in section 11. Where the terms of your engagement agreement differ from this outline, that agreement controls.
We hold your document and information in confidence in accordance with the rules of professional conduct applicable to us. We do not sell them and do not use them for any purpose other than performing your engagement. We retain matter files, including the document you submit and the deliverables, for five years after delivery, and destroy them thereafter. You may request a copy at any time during that period, and may request earlier destruction subject to our own recordkeeping obligations.
We deliver by email unless you ask otherwise. Ordinary email is not a secure medium. By submitting a document you consent to delivery and correspondence by email at the address you provide, and accept the ordinary risks of that medium. Tell us if you would prefer another method.
Nothing in these terms limits, waives or modifies the professional responsibilities we owe you under the rules of professional conduct that govern us, and nothing here is intended to limit our liability to you for professional negligence.
These terms are governed by the law of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
If anything in these terms conflicts with the written engagement agreement you accept for a particular matter, the engagement agreement controls.
We may update these terms. The version in force when you place an order governs that order.
