Contact Counselado

Start by picking the topic that fits your message.

• Question about a guide or Correction: for readers of our legal guides who want to ask something or report a mistake.
• Claim or correct a listing: for firms that want to claim a listing or fix details in one.
• Add a firm: for firms not yet in the directory. See adding your firm.
• Pro or Sponsored plan: for questions about directory plans and pricing. Sponsored placements are labeled "Sponsored," and neither a listing nor a paid plan is an endorsement or a certification of specialization.
• Something else: for anything that does not fit above.

The form asks for your name, your email address, the topic, and a short description without confidential details. We ask for your email so we can reply. A request about a firm may also ask for the firm name, city, state, listing address, and website address. We do not promise a response time.

If you need advice about your own facts, leave the Counselado form and contact a licensed lawyer or a legal-aid organization directly. These routes are independent of Counselado, and none of them is a promise that someone will take your matter. Pick the one that fits your county, income, language, and legal need.

• State Bar of Texas Lawyer Referral & Information Service. The State Bar describes it as a public service designed to match a person with an attorney or another legal resource, and its staff cannot give legal advice. Call 800-252-9690, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Central, or use the online referral form.
• Certified referral services in Texas. The State Bar lists certified lawyer referral services for Dallas, Houston, Jefferson County, Central Texas, North Dallas, San Antonio, Tarrant County, and the whole state.
• TexasLawHelp.org. It is a joint effort of Texas legal-aid organizations, courts, foundations, and nonprofits, managed by Texas Legal Services Center, with a directory of legal-aid programs, clinics, and hotlines. Its Ask a Question page offers LiveChat for legal information.

You can also search the Texas law-firm directory and contact a firm yourself. Deadlines depend on the type of claim, the state, and the facts, so contacting Counselado does not protect any right. Reach a qualified lawyer or legal-aid organization promptly, and confirm any deadline that may apply to you.

This warning appears before the message field and again next to the submit button:

Do not send confidential information, sensitive personal information, documents, or details about a legal matter. Do not rely on this form for a deadline, emergency, filing, response, or other time-sensitive legal issue. Counselado does not provide legal advice, review cases, represent people, or create attorney-client relationships. Contact a licensed lawyer or an appropriate legal-aid organization directly.

A message sent through a website is not a confidential attorney communication, and sending it does not create an attorney-client relationship. The American Bar Association's Formal Opinion 10-457 (August 5, 2010) warns lawyers about the same misunderstandings on their websites.
