Emery Brett LedgerFounder, The Ledger Law FirmLicensed in California, Texas & WashingtonYour estimated price, before you give us a name
| Attorney fee, flat, the whole fee for an uncontested case | $1,000 |
| Harris County court costs | $299 |
| Estimated total, court costs estimated and billed at the amount charged | $1,299 |
Other costs may apply, such as service of process, electronic filing, court reporter and motion fees.
Not in these figures: when carrying out a writ takes more than two hours, Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Travis and Denton counties bill the constable's further time by the hour for each deputy, $50 to $80 an hour.
Start with this estimateCourt charges are set by the court and verified at attorney review. You pay the amount the court or officer charges. Figures here are estimates.
Know the whole number first
Most eviction firms publish a teaser fee and bill the court costs back later. We show your county’s estimated charges next to our fee, before you type your name.
“The most important person in our office is you.”
That line has been on the wall at The Ledger Law Firm for decades.
Emery Brett Ledger has spent 28 years as a trial lawyer, licensed in California, Texas, and Washington, representing people who couldn’t fight for themselves. LedgerEviction is the landlord division of The Ledger Law Firm, and it does one thing: residential evictions.
What you do, what we do
Two steps for you. The rest is ours.
Most eviction services hand you a packet and wish you luck. Here is the whole division of labour, published in advance.
1.Answer the questions
A few minutes online. Property, tenant, what is owed. No call required, no name needed for the price.
2.Sign and add a card
Nothing is charged today. You see the attorney fee and your county's estimated court costs. The Firm's attorney then countersigns, and the engagement begins.
3.We draft, serve and file
Attorney review, statutory notice, service, and filing in your county - signed by a lawyer licensed in your state.
4.We appear and coordinate the lockout
Judgment, writ and lockout coordination. A contested hearing or trial carries a further charge.
Court filing fees, service of process and sheriff or constable charges are set by your county and are estimated for your county and billed at the amount charged. No result or date is promised.

Then watch it move
This is the actual tracker your case gets, stage by stage, with countdowns during waiting windows and documents in your vault.
A sample of the tracker, with sample dates. Your own case shows your own stages, dates and decisions.
Tenant answer window: 6 days remaining. Most tenants don’t respond. If the tenant does not answer, we request default judgment. No date or result is promised.

Compliance is the product
CARES Act screening, servicemember (SCRA) verification before any default, state-mandated notice forms generated from the statute, and rent-demand validation. These are the mistakes that get DIY and filing mill cases dismissed.
Decisions in your portal
Tenant offered partial payment? Moved out partway through the case? Your decisions, such as whether to settle, are made in the portal.
Built for portfolios
One login, every property, every case. Property managers: in Washington your entity clients legally need counsel. Ask about volume accounts and white label intake.
The attorneys
An attorney licensed in the state where your property sits reviews, signs and appears on your case. These are the four.

The questions people actually ask
Is this actually a law firm, or a filing service?
A law firm. LedgerEviction is a division of The Ledger Law Firm, and every case is reviewed, signed and appeared on by an attorney licensed in the state where your property sits.
Why is the price published when nobody else publishes one?
Because we can. The work in an uncontested eviction is knowable in advance, so quoting it hourly mostly protects the firm, not you. The attorney fee is flat and published; court filing fees, service and sheriff or constable charges are set by your county, estimated for your county and billed at the amount actually charged.
What if my tenant fights it?
The contested price is published in advance too, so you are never surprised into a decision. If the tenant contests, the contested stage applies and its flat charge is added. You see it in your portal.
How much of my time does this really take?
Intake takes a few minutes. The attorney handles the case and may ask you to appear at a hearing or trial. Every date, document and filing appears in your portal as it happens.
