Hello. It was nice talking with you today.
On behalf of the Law Office of Donald C. Nemec, I hope to work with you in your case!
Please find all of the Attorney's contact information and instructions on how to get started below.
About Attorney Donald C. Nemec
Mr. Nemec has been practicing law in Texas since 2008. Valuable insight is gained through 16+ years concentrating in discrete areas of law. He knows the law. He knows most of the family court judges in North Texas. And he knows many of the other attorneys in Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, Denton, Johnson and Parker Counties and beyond. Mr. Nemec has appeared in well over 40 counties in Texas. You will be in good hands working with Mr. Nemec.
Mr. Nemec suffered a personal tragedy in Spring, 2022 when his wife and mother of his three teenage children unexpectedly passed away. As a result of this shock, Mr. Nemec closed his office for a period of time. He has since grown and focused on raising his beautiful children and building this law practice to be the best it can be. Since October, 2022, we are happy to report that the Law Office of Donald C. Nemec is now more organized, better staffed, and one of the most procedurally efficient law firms in the area.
Donald Nemec is licensed to practice law in all Texas state and district courts, including all federal bankruptcy, civil, and criminal courts for the Northern District of Texas. He primarily practices in family law, but also practices bankruptcy, estate planning, probate, and dabbles in a few other areas of the law.
How Our Law Office Offers Lower Retainer Deposits than Other Law Firms
Since 2008, Mr. Nemec has used technological advances to automate and streamline the client experience. Beginning with completing our online questionnaire, scheduling your consultation, and beyond, we use technology to facilitate and simply all legal processes. This advanced system saves money in overhead expenses and allows Mr. Nemec to offer these high quality legal services without the $2,500 - $5,000 down payment retainer fees demanded from most other firms. Mr. Nemec and his paralegal also frequently hold client consultations over the telephone instead of charging the clients for the travel time to meet in person. This arrangement has worked for hundreds of clients and saves on costs, which is directly passed on to you, the client, through a lower retainer payment and a pay-as-you go representation agreement.
Client-Attorney Partnership for Administrative Tasks
Help us help you and save some money on legal fees.
Personal Professional Service by Attorney
Mr. Nemec will personally perform most substantive legal service from providing the information on this website to closing your case file.
Automated/Streamlined Service Reduces Fees - Client Assistance - You can save on attorney's fees by helping us help you:
Send documents and other evidence in clean, legible, and properly labeled PDF documents as requested by attorney in ONE email; or send a link to a cloud folder that is accessible by anyone with the link;
Watch the 37 minute Client Onboarding Video prior to your consultation.
Free Phone Consultation
I do offer one free phone consultation (up to 15 minutes). If we have not already spoken together, please schedule a phone call at www.nemeclaw.com/book and I will call you at the scheduled time. Please be sure to mention which service you are interested in when scheduling the appointment.
Flat Rate per Legal Service - Pay-as-You-Go Legal Representation for Your Family Law Suit
As discussed, I would be willing to provide legal services in connection with your family law matter on a flat rate basis. Instead of charging by the minute, I would agree to assist you with your legal matter on a flat-rate-fee-per-legal-service and pay-as-you-go basis. You will be provided a flat rate quote for every legal service to be provided, in advance of such service being provided. Attorney will provide the legal service after you pay.
All payments are due no later than two weeks before such legal services are rendered. If the case goes to a final contested trial, payments for final trial will be due 60 days before final trial or the attorney will withdraw.
All remote and live court appearances scheduled and lasting less than 1.5 hours will be charged at the following rate:
$450 and if via videoconference.
Additional travel fees of $100/hour from North DFW airport will apply for all appearances.
Be advised that since this is a limited scope, pay-as-you-go service with no retainer deposit to secure future attorney availability, you may be required to sign, in advance, a motion and order for withdrawal of attorney to effectuate the withdrawal of the attorney as your attorney of record if the payments are not made on time as agreed.
Initial $2,000 Payment
Instead of $3,000+ quoted by most other firms, we would require a payment of just $2,000 prior to get started. This fee must be received prior to our initial consultation. You can remit that payment and future payments online with a debt/credit card, e-check, or Affirm financing. For payment information, please visit: www.nemeclaw.com/pay. To go directly to Affirm Financing, click here.
As discussed, we will provide flat rate fees whenever possible, but the initial case-set-up is billed by the hour against the $2,000 deposit at $300/hour in 1/10 increments. Billing time consists of the initial 30-90 minute consultation to be held over the phone, document and case registry review and note taking, account set-up, and file creation and organization.
Affirm Client Credit Financing Available
You have multiple options for how to pay for your legal service, which include cash, credit or debit card, and installment loans. For your convenience, we are making Affirm available to you. Affirm allows clients to pay for services over time in fixed amounts without deferred interest, hidden fees, or penalties. Neither our office nor any employee have a financial relationship with Affirm, nor do we receive any compensation for providing you with this information. You must carefully consider your ability to repay before taking any loan.
Do not be afraid to apply! Applying doesn’t affect your credit score.
Even with poor credit, many clients qualify for interest free loans up to (ex. $800 loan with either 1) 12 monthly payments of $72.21 or 2) interest free $200 every two weeks x4.)
