Seventeen years of trying cases. Twelve years of the same promise.
Marlow & Reyes started in 2014 with two lawyers and one rule: the client hears the plan and the price before the work starts. It is still the rule for eleven attorneys and five practices.
Built on the plan before the work.
Dana Marlow was a litigator at a large firm who watched clients get a bill before they got an explanation. The firm's first document in 2014 was a two-page plan template. Every matter since has started with one.
Eleven attorneys, five practices, one office. Large enough to try a case for two weeks, small enough that the partner you met on the first call is the one who argues it.
Prior results do not guarantee an outcome. They do show what a matter looks like when the plan is written down on day one and the fee is agreed before the work.

Two pages: what we will do first, what we will not do, and what each phase costs. Hourly or fixed, your choice for most matters.
One email every Friday with what moved, what is next and what it has cost so far. You never learn the bill from the bill.
Four promises, on every matter.
