Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer an initial discussion to understand the issue, identify deadlines, and decide whether the firm may be able to help. Before any legal advice is provided, we must complete a conflicts check and confirm the engagement in writing. You can request a consultation through our contact form, by email, or by phone.

Fees depend on the type of matter, urgency, scope, and expected attorney time. Some matters are billed hourly. Others may use a fixed fee or a phased budget when the work can be defined in advance. We discuss billing terms before work begins and include them in the engagement agreement.

A conflicts check helps determine whether the firm may represent you under professional responsibility rules. We will ask for names of parties, companies, affiliates, and key individuals involved in the matter. Please provide complete information at the start. A conflicts check does not mean the firm has agreed to represent you.

Information you send to the firm is treated with care, but you should not send highly sensitive documents until we ask for them. Contacting the firm does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Once we agree in writing to represent you, attorney-client confidentiality and other professional duties apply.

Bronfman Law is headquartered in Houston and represents clients in Texas and other states on matters connected to federal intellectual property law, technology transactions, privacy compliance, and civil litigation. Court appearances depend on the forum and attorney admission rules. If local counsel is needed, we discuss that early.

Timelines depend on the facts, the opposing party, court schedules, platform response times, and the amount of information available. A trademark filing, DMCA notice, contract review, privacy assessment, or lawsuit can each move on very different schedules. We identify known deadlines and explain expected next steps.

Yes. A significant part of our practice is copyright and trademark enforcement for publishers and content owners, including educational publishers. Work may involve online infringement investigations, DMCA notices, marketplace takedowns, domain and hosting enforcement, counterfeit textbook matters, and federal court litigation when appropriate. Every matter is assessed on its facts.

We help businesses review privacy obligations, prepare or update privacy notices, assess state privacy law duties, draft data processing terms, and respond to data incidents. Privacy compliance depends on the type of data, business model, locations of users, vendors, and applicable laws. We start by learning how data is collected and used.

If your business is sued, note the response deadline, preserve documents, and avoid contacting the opposing party without advice. Send us the complaint, summons, contracts, correspondence, and any insurance information. We can review the claims, discuss immediate risks, and consider options such as response, settlement discussions, injunction issues, or motion practice.

After initial contact, we may provide instructions for sending documents by email or another secure method. Please organize materials by issue when possible and identify urgent deadlines. Useful documents often include contracts, registrations, notices, correspondence, screenshots, invoices, policies, pleadings, and platform messages. Do not alter files or delete related communications.

No. Sending an email, calling the firm, submitting a form, or speaking with someone at the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. The relationship begins only when the firm agrees to represent you and both sides confirm the engagement in writing. Until then, please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.

We try to respond to new inquiries promptly during business hours. Response time depends on attorney availability, the detail provided, and whether a conflicts check is needed. If a deadline is urgent, state it clearly in your message. Existing clients should use the communication method identified for their matter.
