Family Law Questions About Working With Fritz Law Firm
These family law questions cover the practical side of hiring Fritz Law Firm, PLLC: what to bring, how to pay, how meetings work, where the firm takes cases, and which page explains the law behind your situation. Each answer is short. When the law itself is the question, the answer points to the page that covers it.
Family law questions about getting started
Getting started with Fritz Law Firm, PLLC takes a phone call or a message, then a first appointment with Jessica Fritz, which can be held by phone. The questions below cover the steps before that appointment, how fees can be paid, and what makes the first conversation useful.
Which papers make a first meeting with Jessica Fritz most useful?
Start with a photo ID, then gather every court paper in your hands: anything you were served and any order already in place about your children or property. A one-page timeline of key dates and a written list of your questions keep the meeting focused. If money is part of the case, recent pay stubs and account statements give Jessica Fritz a starting picture.
How can I pay Fritz Law Firm, PLLC?
Fritz Law Firm, PLLC accepts credit cards, checks and cash. Financing is also available through LawPay, subject to LawPay's approval and LawPay's financing terms. Staff can walk you through the options when you call 713-887-7500.
I was just served with divorce or custody papers. What should I do first?
Call the office at 713-887-7500 as soon as you can, and keep every page you were handed. The deadline to file a written answer is counted from the day you were served (Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 99), so waiting can cost you options. The Divorce page explains how service and the answer fit into a Texas case.
Why does the office ask for the other party's name before I come in?
The office runs a conflict check. Before Jessica Fritz talks with you about your case, the firm makes sure it does not already represent, and has not represented, the other party. The Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, including Rules 1.06 and 1.09, limit when an attorney can take a case against a current or former client. Checking first also protects you, because you do not share private details with a firm that turns out to be unable to take your case.
My spouse and I have settled every term. Whose attorney would Jessica Fritz be?
Jessica Fritz would be the attorney for the spouse who signs the engagement agreement with Fritz Law Firm, PLLC. Only one of you can be her client, even when every term is agreed. The other spouse is not represented by the firm and may hire a separate attorney.
I already have a lawyer on my case. Can I switch to Fritz Law Firm?
Yes, a person can move to a new attorney while a case is open. Jessica Fritz first reviews the file and any upcoming deadlines, and the court record is then updated to show the new attorney. Bring your copies of everything filed so far.
What happens after you hire Fritz Law Firm, PLLC?
After you hire Fritz Law Firm, PLLC, Jessica Fritz handles the legal work and staff keep the file moving with scheduling, documents and updates. Questions reach the office by phone at 713-887-7500 or by email at info@fritz-law.com, Monday to Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM and Friday from 8:30 AM to noon.
Do I need an appointment to visit the office, and where do I park?
Yes. Every visit to the Fritz Law Firm, PLLC office at 220 1/2 W Davis St needs an appointment made ahead of time, so call 713-887-7500 before you come in. Free street parking is available in front of the office.
Can I meet with Jessica Fritz by phone or video instead of coming to Conroe?
A consultation can be held as a phone appointment. Once you are a client, meetings take place in person at the Conroe office, or by Zoom video when meeting in person is not possible.
Are evening or weekend appointments available?
Regular office hours are Monday to Thursday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and Friday, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM. The office is closed Saturday and Sunday. When it is truly necessary, an appointment outside those hours can be arranged on a limited basis.
Will what I tell the firm stay confidential?
Yes. Information you share with Fritz Law Firm, PLLC about your case is kept confidential, and every Texas attorney must protect client information under Texas Disciplinary Rule of Professional Conduct 1.05. To keep it private on your end, use a phone and an email account that your spouse or the other parent cannot see.
Fritz Law Firm takes family cases in four counties around Houston
Fritz Law Firm, PLLC takes family cases in Montgomery County, where the office is, and in three neighboring counties: Waller, Harris and Fort Bend. The questions below cover travel, cases that cross county lines, and the areas the firm does not serve. The Areas We Serve page explains where a case can be filed.
My case is in Harris, Fort Bend or Waller County. Do I have to come to Conroe?
Not for every meeting. A consultation can be held by phone, and client meetings take place at the Conroe office or, when meeting in person is not possible, by Zoom video. Hearings take place at the courthouse of whichever county holds the case: Houston for Harris County, Richmond for Fort Bend County and Hempstead for Waller County. A hearing day brings you to Conroe only when the case is in Montgomery County.
Are counties south or southeast of Houston part of the firm's service area?
No. Those counties sit outside the area Fritz Law Firm, PLLC serves, so the firm does not take cases there. The State Bar of Texas website at texasbar.com can point you to an attorney closer to that courthouse.
My children live in a different county than I do. Where would our case be filed?
A brand-new case about a child generally belongs in the child's county of residence, under Texas Family Code § 103.001, and an existing order usually stays with the court that made it. There are exceptions and transfer rules, and the Areas We Serve page walks through them. Jessica Fritz can tell you which court fits your facts.
Which page answers my family law questions about the law itself?
Questions about what Texas law says, such as how custody is decided or how property is divided, are answered on the firm's topic pages, one subject per page. Use the list below to go straight to the page that matches your situation, or start with the Texas Family Law guide for an overview of how the pieces fit together.

I recently went through a long and difficult divorce that involved my son. Jessica and her staff were there for us every step of the way. She and her staff were extremely knowledgeable, and just as important, supportive of me and my son through the entire process. Frankly, I don't know what I would have done without her. She was a Godsend.
If you're looking for a fair, trusting and caring divorce, family law lawyer, I highly recommend contacting Jessica.

The Law Firm of Fritz and Phillips has handled our case with the highest level of professionalism and expertise. Our situation has been both complex and challenging, yet every member of their team has consistently treated us with genuine care, respect, and compassion.
Although we understand that our case is one of many they manage, we have always felt like a priority. Their responsiveness, especially during urgent or emergency situations, has been exceptional and deeply reassuring.
They have guided us through the legal process with clarity and confidence, ensuring we remained informed about applicable laws, expectations, and potential outcomes every step of the way. Their ability to make an otherwise stressful and overwhelming experience feel manageable truly sets them apart.
We are incredibly grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend Fritz and Phillips to anyone seeking knowledgeable, attentive, and client-centered legal representation.
