What are your office hours?

Our office is typically open Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., however, we only see clients or potential clients in person by appointment only. We are closed during the lunch hour and on Fridays, and for most federal, state, and county holidays. 

How much do you charge for Estate Planning?

Our Estate Planning Package is $1,500.00 per person and includes the following documents:

• Last Will and Testament (Simple Will with no trust language)
  
• Statutory Durable Power of Attorney
  
• Medical Power of Attorney
  
• Directive to Physicians (also known as a "Living Will")
  
• Designation of Guardian
  
• HIPAA Releases
  
• Appointment for Disposition of Remains (Funeral Directive)
  

Any Wills with testamentary trusts are billed hourly and the cost will be more than the $1,500.00 Estate Planning Package. Our office does not create Revocable Trusts, Irrevocable Trusts, or any other Supplemental Needs Trusts. However, we do have some referrals to other law firms that may be able to assist you. 

In what Counties does The Boling Law Firm work?

The Boling Law Firm serves the Hays and Caldwell County communities. We will help clients in Guadalupe and Comal Counties on a case by case basis. Although we do not accept cases in Bexar or Travis Counties, we can offer some referrals to attorneys that work in those areas.

How much is your retainer deposit?

The initial retainer deposit will depend on the complexity of your case. A minimum deposit for an uncontested case is approximately $3,000.00, plus filing fees and service fees. Deposits for contested matters are determined on a case by case basis, starting at $5,000.00 or more. Effective July 10, 2023, Ms. Boling's normal hourly rate is $400.00 per hour. Retainers vary on a case by case basis, which is why an initial consultation with Ms. Boling is necessary. 

Do you charge a consultation fee?

The Boling Law Firm charges $400.00 for a one-hour consultation, unless you are a prior client or have been pre-approved for a no-fee consultation. Most consultations will not last longer than one hour, depending on the complexity of the case. Having a list of questions ready at the time of your consultation if always a good idea, as well as gathering all relevant documents and emailing them to our office prior to the consultation, especially court orders or papers that you have been served with.
