—

Who the Firm Helps
The firm helps individuals, families and business owners protect what they've built.
Most clients reach out when life or business changes. A marriage, a first home, a new baby, a new company, or a rental property all call for documents that fit Texas or Arizona law. The firm works with Houston clients and Phoenix clients, and each plan is drafted for the client, not pulled from a template. What the firm doesn't handle: litigation, probate representation, court guardianship cases, trust administration after death, Medicaid or ALTCS application filing, and VA benefits claims. If you need one of these, the firm refers you to trusted outside counsel.
Meet the Team
Attorneys who focus on transactional work, and an operations lead who keeps each matter moving. Each person brings a different background, from real estate brokerage to trusts and estates litigation.

How the Firm Works
Legal work should come with a clear price, plain answers, and no surprises. The firm is set up to deliver all three.
Flat Fees Set Up Front
Most matters are quoted as a flat fee before work begins, so you know the cost from the start. No surprise invoice shows up when the work is done. A retainer with hourly billing is used only in rare cases where the scope can't be predicted.
A Fully Virtual Practice
Consultations happen by video, so you can meet from home or work. You can upload documents ahead of time and text the office with questions. Signings happen in person with a mobile notary or remotely when the law allows.
Prevention First
The firm drafts and advises. It doesn't litigate. The goal is to put the right documents and structures in place before a dispute can start, and every document is explained in plain language before you sign.

My first time working with a virtual office. It was an easy process and I appreciated the communication and easy to understand next steps. All my questions were answered and I never felt like I was asking a dumb question. Highly recommend.

Common Questions About the Firm
Something else on your mind? Call or text (832) 263-0935.
How much does it cost to work with the firm?
Most matters are billed as a flat fee. You get the fee before any work begins, so you know the full cost up front and won't get a surprise invoice at the end. The fee depends on the documents and the state, and the firm quotes it after your free 30-minute consultation. In rare cases where the scope can't be predicted, such as some ongoing business work, the firm uses a retainer with hourly billing and tells you that before you commit. The consultation itself costs nothing, and booking one doesn't obligate you to hire the firm.
Do I need to visit an office to work with the firm?
No. The firm is fully virtual. Consultations happen by video, you can upload documents through the document portal, and you can text the office with questions. Many documents can be signed remotely through DocuSign and Proof, or in person with a mobile notary who comes to you. Some documents have stricter rules. A Texas will, for example, needs wet signatures with two witnesses physically present, so the firm coordinates an in-person signing for it. The firm also has a Houston office at 3333 Allen Pkwy Unit 300 for clients who prefer to meet there.
Which states does the firm serve?
The firm serves clients in Texas and Arizona. In Texas, it works with Houston clients across Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery Counties, plus clients elsewhere in the state by video. In Arizona, it serves families in Maricopa and Pinal Counties and throughout the state by video. Francisca F. Manchac is licensed in both states. Paige Chovanec and Kyndsey Jones are licensed in Texas. Because the law differs between the two states, every document is drafted for the state where you live or where your property sits. Visit the Houston office page or the Phoenix office page for local details.
Who will work on my matter?
Bitsy Deubler is usually your first contact. She handles intake, scheduling, the document portal, billing, and signings. Francisca F. Manchac leads the firm and handles matters in both Texas and Arizona, including business, real estate, marital, and estate planning work. Paige Chovanec focuses on Texas estate planning, from wills and trusts to guardian nominations. Kyndsey Jones drafts Texas estate plans, real estate transfers, marital agreements, and business documents. The attorney on your matter depends on the type of work and your state, and you'll know who is drafting your documents before work begins.
What legal work does the firm not handle?
The firm handles planning, drafting, and pre-litigation work only. It does not file or defend lawsuits, eviction suits, or arbitrations, and it does not appear in court. It also doesn't open or administer probate estates, represent parties in guardianship or conservatorship cases, administer trusts after a client dies, file Medicaid or ALTCS applications, or handle VA benefits claims. If you need one of these services, the firm refers you to trusted outside counsel and can help coordinate the handoff. That way you still get help, and your planning documents stay connected to the next step.
What happens during the free consultation?
The free consultation lasts 30 minutes and happens by video. You pick one of four types when you book: estate planning, business law, real estate law, or prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Complete the Client Intake Form at least 24 hours before the call, and upload any documents you want reviewed. During the call, the attorney learns about your goals, answers questions, and explains what the work would include. If you need to cancel, give 24 hours' notice. The consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship. Representation starts after you sign an engagement agreement.
