I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Mr. Abel Dominguez and his team at The Law Office of Abel Dominguez for their exceptional help with my custody case involving my sons. Before working with Mr. Dominguez, I had a disappointing experience with a previous law firm that overcharged me significantly and failed to deliver the results I needed. However, when Mr. Dominguez took over my case. Everything changed for the better.
From the very beginning, Mr. Dominguez was eager to help and quickly understood how important my children’s safety and well-being were to me. His kindness, understanding, and genuine desire to fight for my family gave me hope and confidence during a challenging time.
When it came to court, Mr. Dominguez was incredibly methodical and well-prepared. Every time the opposing attorney tried to throw challenges his way, he was ready. His wisdom, professionalism, and ability to stay ahead were invaluable in resolving the case and ensuring my children’s safety.
Not only did Mr. Dominguez delivered outstanding legal representation, but he also did so at a very reasonable price, especially compared to my previous experience. He worked with me and showed great compassion, making it clear that he truly cares about his clients and their families.
I also want to commend Ms. B, his secretary, who is an incredible asset to the firm. She was always responsive, helpful, and attentive to every detail of my case. Her professionalism and dedication made the process much smoother, and I can’t thank her enough.
Mr. Dominguez and his team went above and beyond for me and my sons, and I will always be grateful. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to handle your case with care, professionalism, and expertise, I highly recommend The Law Office of Abel Dominguez. Trust the process, follow their guidance, and know that they will fight for you just as they did for me.
I also want to bless their business with this scripture:
"May Yahuah (God is My Salvation) bless you and guard you; may Yahuah make His face shine upon you and show favor to you; may Yahuah lift up His face upon you and give you peace." (Numbers 6:24-26)
Thank you again, Mr. Dominguez and Ms. B, for everything you’ve done for me and my family.

I can't say enough great things about Amanda and Brandon. When other law firms did not want to take my case they stepped up and won BIG! I won't name the insurance company that was giving me a hard time, but wow did they give me a hard time after their client hit me while I was working. Their staff was so disrespectful and just when I was about to lose hope Amanda and Brandon came to the rescue. They were amazing but overall professional and patient. I wish I could give me them a million stars🙂. Look no where else this is the law firm to choose.

I can't say enough good things about JacquelineKriebel! She was absolutely amazing during my mediation process in a very tough co-parenting situation. She was professional and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to listen, provided clear guidance, and helped navigate difficult conversations. Thanks to her expertise, we reached a fair and workable agreement. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a skilled and supportive lawyer for family law matters!

Working with Jacqueline was an absolute pleasure and a great success. She put me and my family first during a very difficult divorce with a spouse who changed lawyers multiple times. She was professional and timely with information. So many changes on the other side drove up the cost of the divorce significantly, but Jacqueline was conscientious about the financial impact with our shared assets more or less non accessible. I would recommend her highly as a divorce attorney. Thank you Jacqueline.

My divorce was lingering for THREE years and hundreds of thousands of dollars with two different law firms before I was recommended to Jacqueline. In less than nine months, I was favorably divorced at a fraction of what I had been paying for counsel and far less than what my spouse had to pay for her “female-specialized” law firm. If you're looking for a lawyer who combines beauty, brains, and a genuine commitment to helping you through a challenging time, Jacqueline is the one you want by your side.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely THE problem when it comes to attorneys this day and age.(maybe it’s just with men). If you want a game where you're being strung along and billed forever playing the rollercoaster game with you and your children's life instead of evidence being presented in a costly/timely and empathetic manner THIS IS YOUR GUY. Mr. Bancroft, i just got off the phone with you where you hung up on me stating that I’m threatening you. Get over your ego and realize that your business as a practicing attourney needs realignment. I wrote you about a standing invoice you provided totaling to less than the amount that Ive paid to you months prior with no response. After speaking to your paralegal, then being transferred to your “billing dept.” and speaking to them I was provided with a newer invoice…..with newer charges, where whomever was working before had originally just simply “forgot to send me the invoice”….what a convenient coincidence. After speaking with her, I was transferred to you where I had a conversation with your ego. Well, from the little guy(s) down here Mr. Bancroft, do whats right and fabricating invoices to skip out on paying balances owed on any moneys paid to you for the services that you DID NOT PROVIDE are just not that. Client paid $1750 in retainer fees(half of your 3500 to get the case started) and had to chase said attourney down for enquiries with little to no communications outside of ones that were initiated by me/client, INCLUDING in person conversation with YOU where I unexpectedly paid a visit to your office in August after I could not successfully contact anyone and asked about a status of my case. You did not recall my case by name until we went to your office and you searched my name.(keep in mind, this is three months after contracting). Attourney invoicing per attourney-client portals all state work for balance of $753, with latest payment from client being $631 in October.(this never happened, only payment made was the initial one and didn't make another due to subpar and in my opinion MALPRACTICAL, I'm aware that isn't an official word, service). After a few months of calling and majorly being placed on hold, back and forth’s with promises of returned calls or motions with paralegals, multiples of them and finally being frustrated with the reality of paying an attourney and not being fought for……while fighting a vindictive situation with my children as a GREAT DAD I asked for an explanation stating that if I did not hear anything as ai had been I wanted to discontinue services and be refunded via message inside of the client portal, I THEN was given a response…..but not with accountability, not with a plan of action, not to communicate any valuable evidence or structured plan of action, but to speak downward of me on the “dismal” months of non-payment……….ultimately this attourney demanded I paid him his past due amount, in addition to totals for mediations that hadn't even been had yet to avoid him WITHDRAWING. Needless to say I attended the mediation PRO SE, paid the mediator directly. I’m now on maximum state mandated child support and standard visitation for the children I equally raised because the relationship did not work out with their mother…finally divorced none the less. All of the evidence in the world to fight that good fight never presented, never saw a represented court setting, money just wasted and thank GOD I demanded a standard or it could have been MUCH MUCH worse financially. Contracted with this attourney on 5/24/2024….attourney withdrew as of 11/5/2024, yet they have still attempted to withdraw payment from my bank as of latest, 12/19/2024…….this was my SECOND attourney over a course of what I recall as a 3 year nightmare……I can confidently say, this is whats wrong with the family law system! Will edit with photo documentation when I have time.

I had the need for a good attorney, and luckily my Son has a good friend that met the need. Desi Martinez and Associates, met every expectation that I had and then some. The staff has always been courteous and patient with me and all my questions, especially Lena who had to deal with me on a regular basis. A special thank you, to Lena, for your patience and your total explanation of the process of what was being done. Big thanks to all the members of Desi Martinez and Associates, they got the job done!

I can't thank Martinez and Associates enough, especially Ricardo Julio, for everything they did for my husband and our family after his accident. My husband nearly lost his life, and when the insurance companies refused to accept responsibility, we were losing hope. That’s when Ricardo and the team stepped in and took amazing care of us.
They fought tirelessly against these giant companies, and thanks to their dedication and expertise, we achieved the outcome we desperately needed—the other driver was held fully responsible. We are forever grateful and highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal support. You will be in excellent hands!

WIth Hector and his associates, i felt like family. They were always honest and just a phone call or email away to reassure me and tell me exactly how the case was going. The many years of experience resonated when they walked the halls and the courts of Bexar County, as everybody always greeted them like friends. There was never a rush to conclude my case as they slowly and manticulously worked to get me the best possible outcome. They never made any promises, but the outcome was better than I could have ever asked for. All businesses of San Antonio should be run like the offices of Hector Gonzales. My family truly thanks you!

Ive known good Attorneys But I im very impressed with the work Tim Rountree does he got my felony case dismissed in just one court day He got to the court and after just 10 minutes off speaking to the prosecuter I saw him go to the judge and in less then 15 minutes we came out and he gave me my motion to dismiss sing by the judge If you are ever in need off any legal assistance don't go waist time and money with No one else...I've known attorneys through out my life but had never seen such an impressive job done and not only that but Quick.

Mr. Rountree is not just a great lawyer but also an incredible human being. As a nurse, I’m accustomed to dealing with high-stress situations in my profession, but this legal situation was entirely new and overwhelming for my family and me. From the moment we met Mr. Rountree, he guided us through this unfamiliar process with care and expertise. He is trustworthy, dependable, and made it possible for me to focus on my work while knowing my little brother’s case was in the best hands.
Mr. Rountree is professional, communicative, and dedicated. Despite his busy schedule, he always took the time to respond to us and ensure we felt supported every step of the way. My little brother made a mistake, but Mr. Rountree helped the judge see that he is a good person who simply made a poor decision. Thanks to his efforts, the consequences were significantly reduced, and for that, we are forever grateful.
What truly sets Mr. Rountree apart is his honesty and the way he genuinely cares about his clients and their families. He doesn’t treat you like just another case, he treats you with respect, compassion, and understanding. In our last conversation, I told him that there isn’t enough money in the world to pay for what he did for my little brother and my family. We truly see him as a human angel, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! He is the best!

Brandi N. Aguillon RESTORED my faith in the family court system. I had screened several attorneys looking for someone who could help me through a difficult family court issue. Other attorneys advised me to wait and see BUT Brandi was able to give me a practical solution AND deliver the result I need and more. While I pray I NEVER need a family attorney again if I do I will ONLY work with her. She had a fair retainer and fees, consistent communication, was knowledgeable, and set realistic expectations from the begging (under promise over deliver) If you need an attorney that will SOLVE your case (even when you feel like TX is a mother state and for women) she will make sure you are seen and heard and the relationship with your kids is unscathed.

I highly recommend this law firm to everyone in need of assistance for divorce and child custody in San Antonio. I am extremely grateful and appreciative for everything Brandi and Heather have done for me. From my initial phone call with the receptionist seeking help, then Mr. Ruiz calling me soon after and being straightforward with my situation was beyond helpful. I love everyone’s honesty throughout the whole process and Brandi’s attentiveness to all my concerns were beyond my expectations for my first experience with any legal business. They always respond fast to any questions or concerns I’ve had and my divorce was granted a lot quicker than I could have hoped for. Brandi is very knowledgeable and someone you want fighting for you. I was very please with everything and everyone. Thank you all again!!

I've been using this law firm For At least 11 years, they always respond fast, they're reliable and Honest; they always tell you if there's any issues or if you need any kind of paperwork to improve or move forward with your case. I personally never had any negative experiences. I would highly recommend them for any kind of Immigration case. During my last paperwork renewal Sonia replied back in a timely manner and was on top of any update in regards of my case she was very professional and also took the time to call me once my paperwork was finalized to make sure everything was done correctly.

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. Whether you're buying, selling, leasing, or developing property, a real estate attorney can help ensure that your transactions are legally sound and your rights are protected. They review contracts, perform due diligence, resolve disputes, and provide legal representation in negotiations and litigation involving property matters.
Real estate lawyers are crucial in safeguarding your investment by ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal real estate laws, as well as protecting you from potential legal pitfalls related to property ownership and transactions.
When Should I Hire a Real Estate Lawyer?
Hiring a real estate lawyer is beneficial in various scenarios, including:
- Buying or selling property: When navigating complex real estate contracts, it’s advisable to have a lawyer review and ensure that the terms are favorable and legal.
- Commercial property transactions: For leasing, purchasing, or selling commercial properties, a lawyer can help manage the intricate legal aspects of such transactions.
- Zoning or land use issues: If you're planning to develop property or change its use, a real estate lawyer can guide you through zoning laws and land use regulations.
- Resolving property disputes: For boundary disputes, title issues, or disagreements over property rights, a lawyer can help mediate or litigate the matter.
- Foreclosures or evictions: If you're dealing with foreclosure or managing a tenant eviction, legal representation ensures that the process adheres to local laws and protects your interests.

How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?
Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:
- Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
- Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Contingency fees: In rare cases, such as property disputes or claims for damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle the case.
- Retainer: For ongoing legal support, some clients may pay a retainer, which is an upfront fee used as a deposit for future legal services.
It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.
How Much Does a Real Estate Lawyer Cost?
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:
- Type of transaction or issue: Simple tasks, like contract reviews, typically cost less than handling a complex property dispute or litigation.
- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.
- Billing structure: Lawyers may charge a flat fee for basic services like document review or hourly for more time-intensive work such as disputes or litigation.
Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.
Hourly rates can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on the attorney’s experience and location.

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:
-
What experience do you have with real estate law?
Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on. -
How long will the process take?
Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last. -
Have you handled cases similar to mine?
Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case. -
Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities. -
Can you provide references?
Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.
How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:

- Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
- Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
- Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:
- Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
- A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
- Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
- Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
- Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.
By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
