Adrian C is my attorney, and he has thoroughly impressed me with his knowledge of the law and has made the other side look foolish and incompetent.

I cannot say enough great things about David and his team. Needing an attorney was never something I thought I'd need, but having reached that point, I am so grateful to have had the David Alexander Law Firm referred to me. They helped me navigate through a painful process and made sure my needs were addressed. It was a long journey, and they helped me through it every step of the way. They are amazing people and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and care for their clients.

It’s not often I can say that I’ve enjoyed working with an attorney. The David Gottfried Alexander Law Firm was outstanding. I felt heard, understood and empowered. The firm has a deep understanding of Texas property law. The firm was a tremendous asset to me in my litigation. I would hire the firm again! And I would recommend that you give them a call to explore your legal issues

Okay folks. After being audited by the Texas Comptroller and them creating a tax bill of $175,000, I hired Curtis Osterlo to defend me. Long story short, I recorded all of the conversations between Mr. Osterlo and myself. In the beginning, he mentioned the names of people at the Comptroller NOT to talk to. Two months later, while racking up legal fees, he suggested he would circle back around and speak to Jane Doe (one of the people NOT to talk to). That is when I fired him. In my opinion, this law firm is in bed with the Comptroller to generate legal fees. After firing Curtis, I handled my case myself. The comptroller didn't know what to do now? Their boy wonder was out. I proved to the Comptroller I didn't owe the money by emailing a copy of the Federal and State laws. I ended up winning without Curtis. He wanted me to settle and charge me $35,000 for his time. I will never do business in the state of Texas again!

Mr. Rogers provided legal advice in a law suit I filed against a tenant. He was knowable, responded in a timely manor to all phone calls, emails and was available to meet when necessary. His advice and professional talent as an attorney resulted in a positive out of court settlement.

I have been working with Corey Rogers on various cases throughout the years since September 2010. I have found that he is informative, reliable and trustworthy. At no time have I felt that my case was insignificant. Mr. Rogers has worked diligently on my cases and explained the process to me. His guidance has helped me make an informative decision as to how I wanted to pursue the issues as they related to my cases. I am confident in his knowledge and skill as an attorney.

This is either a very convincing internet scam, or John is a very poor lawyer. After paying his invoice I have essentially lost contact. I went to the littlefield building listed as his office online and could not find any record of Coonley law from the folks I talked to. Please choose another firm at all costs. UPDATE: after asking for a refund, John finally had the time of day to speak with me. He agreed to give me a refund for some LLC filing fees I had paid him. (He never got the filing completed). I have since been trying to follow up and actually receive said refund for over 3 weeks now, but still have had no luck. This man is an absolute scumbag and a joke of an attorney. How he is able to practice law is a crime itself. I leave this review in hopes that nobody else ever has to deal with a crook like John like I did.

After a terrible car accident I was involved in, I am so thankful to have had David Komie Law on my side. Matthew Komie represented me. Him and his staff were exceptional and worked very hard on my case. They were very informative and communicative every step of the way. I knew I was with a trustworthy and caring law firm. In the end I was very happy with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend David Komie Law.

Aaron Allison is the first attorney I have ever hired and all I can say is the man is phenomenal! He won my case and made the entire stressful process as easy to understand and get through as possible. I would also hope I am never on the other side of the courtroom against him because he doesn't miss any details! I hope I don't need his services again but if I do I would be happy to hire him again.

I initially chose JP Law Office for my divorce case based on their reputation and the promising start I experienced. Nicolette was approachable, proactive, and seemed genuinely committed to guiding me through this challenging time. In the beginning, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Their close attention to detail and prompt responses gave me hope that my case would be handled with the utmost professionalism.
However, as the case progressed, I began to notice a concerning shift. What started as a proactive and client-focused approach gradually turned into a frustrating experience. Communication became less frequent, and important aspects of my case seemed to be overlooked or delayed.Instead we were wasting hours in not so important details. It became increasingly clear that the level of care and diligence I initially received was no longer a priority. They were managing different cases but also mine and they had no incentives to spend the hours in the relevant and important details.
Unfortunately, this decline in service had significant consequences. Not only did it lead to unnecessary delays, but it also resulted in considerable financial strain and a disastrous sentence. I had expected a higher standard of service, especially considering the costs involved. Instead, I was left feeling that my resources were wasted, with little to show for the time and money invested.

Sin embargo, a medida que el caso avanzaba, empecé a notar un cambio preocupante. Lo que comenzó como un enfoque proactivo y centrado en el cliente se convirtió gradualmente en una experiencia frustrante. La comunicación se hizo menos frecuente, y los aspectos importantes de mi caso parecían pasarse por alto o retrasarse, sino que perdíamos horas en detalles no tan importantes. Cada vez estaba más claro que el nivel de atención y diligencia que recibí inicialmente ya no era una prioridad. Estaban gestionando casos diferentes pero también el mío y no tenían incentivos para dedicar horas a los detalles relevantes e importantes.
Por desgracia, esta disminución del servicio tuvo consecuencias importantes. No sólo provocó retrasos innecesarios, sino que también se tradujo en una considerable presión financiera y una sentencia desastrosa. Esperaba un servicio de mayor calidad, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta los costes. En lugar de eso, me quedé con la sensación de que mis recursos se habían malgastado, con poco que demostrar por el tiempo y el dinero invertidos.
No recomendaría esta firma si lo que necesita es diligencia, cercanía y atención a los detalles durante todo el proceso.

I used Jeff Kelly for a real estate transaction. First, in this world I would recommend getting a lawyer on the purchase contract. Jeff knows the "end game" as a lawyer which is invaluable. Real estate agents don't have anyone's interest in mind but their own and make a transaction difficult. Spend your money with Jeff as your agent. If you are in a transaction and get a "bad feeling" call Jeff. Real estate is big money and this is where your money is best spent.

Mr. Kelly’s knowledge of the field of law was over the top. He was very strategic in his litigation process and accomplished a settlement far above what was anticipated. Mr. Kelly appeared to have a very strong real estate background and immediately identified the legal and real estate issues which existed. GREAT JOB and I will refer him to all my friends.

What a Real Estate Lawyer Can Do for You
A real estate lawyer provides legal assistance in transactions and disputes involving property, including residential and commercial real estate.

It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:

- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.

Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:
