Assistance Needed: Texas Attorney

Posted on 03/12/2006 8:12:50 AM PST by freespirited

Would someone who practices law in Texas please freepmail me. I have a simple question about the law to which I think the answer is yes. If you can confirm this, that is all I need.

Betcha can find an attorney in your local telephone directory. Many will offer you a free consultation. Far better to do that than to rely on some random post here on Free Republic, it seems to me.

The Answer to your question is Yes.

... Now, lets talk fees. This consultation lasted 5 seconds. With a minimum of 2 hours @ 1000$ an hour. That comes out to roughly 2000$. Now add in the e-mail fee and thats another 500$. So the grand total comes to 2500$ and will need to be paid immediately or I will come and take your house and everything you own.

Judge Roy Bean would be my first choice.

Absolutely right. You have no idea whether the posters here are even admitted to the bar, let alone any good.

Any legal information derived from Free Republic needs to be taken with a generous helping of salt. Many of the legal opinions expressed on this board are heavily colored by ideology.

"Would someone who practices law in Texas"

If he is still practicing, he may not be much help. ;-)

What kind of law? Real estate, civil, criminal, intellectual property? There are many fields, and a specialist is likely in order.

If Texas is like other states you may be able to find the information you need without consulting an attorney. However if money is involved all the research in the world will not replace an attorney's knowledge.
Try searching at the State Gov't website for Texas Laws and Statutes. You also will want to search for the Administrative Code ( this governs how State agencies implement the Statutes and/or laws). You might also contact a University or College law school- they probably have a lot of information available. I recommend that you find out if you can request an interpertation of a law from the State Attorney General's office. It may not be binding but it should give you a good idea of what a Court's answer would be. Best of luck.

Try this: martindalehubbell.com

Also, is your question definitely texas state law related? If if's federal or general, others could help you.

My firm only bills me out at $375/hr, so this post is quite a bargain.

I've already done this--for months. I just want to confirm that my layman's reading of things is correct. I am concerned that I may have missed some obscure exception, that sort of thing.

As I understand it the written law is one thing and the way the court has ruled on that law is a totally nother thing. It's the Precedent that is the important thing. So you not only have to research the code but also the case law that deals with that code.

Good luck!

I hope you get your answer. But no matter what an attorney tells you remember that findings of law are done by a Judge who is presiding over an actual case. At least that is my understanding.
