About Lori
Amy and I formed Matthews & Jaasma, L.L.P. in 2013--combining our legal backgrounds and experiences in state and federal courts--for the purpose of helping our Fort Bend County neighbors in Sugar Land, Missouri City, as well as residents of the greater Houston area. We take the skills and knowledge we have gained over the years from representing clients and put it to work to get results. We have a combined experience of over 35 years representing individuals who need legal assistance. The cost of legal services is always a concern. We are proud that we can keep our fees lower than many other lawyers because we keep our operating expenses low. For some types of cases, such as personal injury, certain employment matters, or breach of contract claims, our clients will not pay a dime unless they are compensated. We will front all costs of a case and wait to collect until the final settlement or verdict has been awarded. And while other lawyers also offer contingency arrangements, our percentage fee is likely less, as are the hourly rates that we charge for cases that are billed by the hour, such as contract review services. Contact us to discuss your legal issue and the best approach to your particular case.
