House hunting in The Woodlands was intimidating. But Five Star Real Estate made it exciting. They showed us houses that ticked all our boxes. Their knowledge of the area was a huge plus. They knew where the best schools were. And the safest neighborhoods. They were honest about each property's pros and cons. We appreciated their transparency. We found a house we love, thanks to them. They even helped us negotiate a better price. We're so grateful for their guidance.

I can’t recommend David Kallus enough. I had a case that I’m sure most lawyers would have given up on because of the length of time it ended up taking before settling but his attention to detail and thoroughness in researching the case couldn’t be argued against. He really went above and beyond and I am very glad I was able to work with him. Definitely recommend his services!

Morgan, Fran and Team saved my life/career from being destroyed! I came to Morgan two years ago and he went to work on my cases (yes cases). The one thing I can say throughout the last couple years is don’t get frustrated. Listen to Morgan, even though the legal systems time line will sux and will go slow, stay the course. Morgan/Fran are supportive and will help you throughout the process. All my cases were dismissed last week. Best money and decision I could have made choosing Morgan and team. Regards, Kenny Tranum.

Richard Canlas, Esq., turns the worst day of your life into the best day of your life. This is second time I’ve retained him legally, and God willing will be the last time I need to, but I know Who I’m going to call without a moment hesitation, if it gets to the point where I need a legal represent again. If you get tangled up in the Texas legal system, even a little bit, even for something fairly innocuous, and you care about your reputation, then the money spent with him is well placed. There’s some truth to the old saying that you get what you pay for but with Richard you always get a little bit extra and you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend him. I’ve known him for decades and he knows the system up there in Conroe, and he knows where to apply pressure and when to apply pressure and I think that if I aspired to be a lawyer, he would be One of my role models!

Brian Walters is not on your side, nor is he an honorable person. Very dirty tricks. Bait and switch schemes. Majority of his time, he spends funneling people through his podcast. In court, he was completely unprepared. He promised to help me through a jury trial and then backed out not fulfilling his word and tricking me into waiving away my rights to a jury. I don’t think I’ve met a sensible person that actually think divorce courts are fair and honest, and it’s largely because of cowards like Mr Walters.

Nick Dillard is by far one of the brightest and most knowledgeable attorneys practicing family law. He is untainted by the corrupt family judicial system and never misses! I to am a father in Montgomery county fighting a 2 year battle for the truth. Nick has stood by my side where others would have walked away. Nick is passionate about his cases, most of all he is honest. He is a beast when it comes to trial. Other attorneys fear him in that regard. I don’t think he’s ever lost! He goes above and beyond for what’s most important, your children. Don’t waste your time or money with another family law attorney. Nick Dillard is the best and a beast!

Nicholas Dillard is a boss in the courtroom. His professionalism, legal knowledge and expertise in is the reason my son-in-law was awarded primary of his kids, which for fathers, is a rare occurrence in Montgomery County. For 3 days, I watched him skillfully question and cross examine witnesses to uncover the truth. I will always be grateful to Nick for reuniting my 3 precious grandchildren with their father, who was clearly the more stable parent.

I have never written a google review in my entire life, and this is my first review. I was brutally cheated by the Legal system and my Attorney (SB), and I believe he colluded with my ex-wife, Attorney (MM), and Children's Attorney (SW), appointed by the Court. I am devastated and helpless and can't believe this can happen in America. I applied for Divorce in October 2018 in a small town called Brenham in Texas. In June 2019, a temporary hearing occurred; my Attorney (SB), didn't ask questions related to how I raised my kids and didn't cross-verify many key items what my ex-wife said to the Court. Also, he didn't file a Request for Relief before the Temporary hearing, which my ex-wife's Attorney (MM) pointed out. The Court decided to give Child custody to my ex-wife and I was kicked out of my home. My ex-wife's Attorney (MM) filed a petition to appoint a Children's Attorney just a couple of weeks before the Jury trial was originally planned, and the Court immediately appointed SW. She met for the first time, and I shared some key OFW messages and shared details about how my ex-wife was not cooperating with co-parenting, doing parent alienation, and the kids' grades were going downhill. She asked me to send all the OFW photos, videos, and text messages, and I sent an email. After sending the email, She even refused to acknowledge the email and refused to meet 2nd time as she told me she would do. My kids always share what Atttorney says to them, and I asked my Attorney (SB), why Children Attorney (SW) did not ask which parent did what before the Divorce. After this, Children Attorney (SW) somehow came to know; she started telling my kids that their conversation was private and should not be shared with anyone. She took the stance that my ex-wife should get kids custody and never put together one single exhibit to support it other than using my ex-wife's Exhibits. I shared this with my Attorney (SB), and nothing changed. She even met with my kids at my ex-wife's place after the Jury decision and told my kids that conversation is private and can't be shared with anyone. After several postponements of the Jury trial, the Jury trial was held in August 2022. By God's grace and Robby Neal help and support, I could share most of my story with the Jury and how I raised my two little boys. After a seven-day trial, the Jury gave me kids custody, and Divorce was granted in favor of me. Finally, the divorce decree was signed in August 2023 with split custody, and the property was split unfairly and unjustly, and I ended up with no money in my bank account with thousands and thousands of loans (More than 100K). Even though Jury game me Right to designate Primary residence, the Court decided to give the home to my ex-wife and now some how law changed. After Temporary hearing, The Judge gave same Right to designate primary residence and then my Attorney (SB) told me that my ex-wife designated my house as Primary residence and I am kicked out. I called many Applette court attorneys and found out that I couldn't afford to fight for Justice. During the process, I had an appointment with Susan, and before she called me on October 4, 2023, she had reviewed my case on a high level. After asking me a few questions, she agreed to represent me, and the fees she quoted were 70% less than the lowest amount I heard so far. On October 5, 2023, I signed the contract. I have no words to describe how grateful I am to have Susan as my Attorney for the appeal. She is a Guardian angel sent by God during devastating moments in my life to help me and fight for Justice. Thank you to Susan and her team for helping me during this process. From bottom of heart, THANK YOU and THANK YOU Susan for helping me to fight for Justice and THANK YOU god for helping me to find incredible Susan.

Here, I am introducing a law Firm named Clouthier Law, PLLC. I am 75 years old now, and I become a Victim of Elder Investment Fraud, and I was looking for a competent attorney to represent me and few other victims who were severely harmed in a case which we filed in 296th, Judicial District Court Collin County Texas . I contacted almost 100 reputed law Firms in Texas and other States, but I noticed that no law Firms were ready to represent the victims, especially Elderly Victims, because the Federal Lawmakers like FBI, FTC, SEC, DOJ, and their Prosecutors are the one who is handling the cases like Elder Investment fraud.As an Indian American I learned that language is the greatest barrier for me to talk to the American Attorneys. My First Language is MALAYALAM and English is my Second Language. Finally, I contacted attorney Susan Clouthier, who is residing in Texas, and I am in New York.Attorney Susan clearly understood my weakness, and very patiently listened my case, and offered me her service, and took the case. She reviewed the case, and came forward to represent us. In my opinion, this case is one of the "Notorious Case" in the history of Indian Americans, and I fully believe that Attorneys like Susan Clouthier will definitely win this case due to preponderance of Evidence in this case.In our case a Receiver was appointed to Investigate the case as per the request of the attorneys we hired. At the beginning the Receiver "Discovered" that there were "Multiple Badges of Fraud" committed by Former Directors of the company.Still the receiver made a settlement agreement with the Defendants and Closed the original case in the 296th, Court, and went to a different Court 471st Judicial District Court, Collin County, TX and filed a Case and misrepresented the court, and settled the case in favor of the defendants that severely " Harmed" elderly victims like me. So, we Opposed the receiver's decision with the help of Attorney Susan J. Clouthier, Esq., and filed an Appeal in the 5th COURT OF APPEALS, DALLAS, TEXAS.We, the severely harmed Elderly victims of Investment Fraud believe that we will get Justice from the HONORABLE JUDGE OF THE 5th COURT OF APPEALS, TX with the help of attorney Susan J. Clouthier and her team, because Attorney Susan and her team properly researched, investigated, and studied the case and prepared the Appellate Brief and filed it in the court. I fully believe that we, the elderly victims will win this case with the help of Attorney Susan Clouthier and her team.For Elderly Victims like us, Attorney Susan J. Clouthier and the Clouthier LAW, PLLC, is highly recommended. Thomas J. Koovalloor Member of Facebook, Twitter X, and LinkedIn.

Susan and her team have filed a brief in my Civil Appeal case. It is well written and I only hope it helps not just myself but others that may have been treated the same way by our Justice system. I have been very pleased in their ability in a situation that is pretty complicated. The degree of understanding and communication is rare when it should not be but finding someone that not only understands but fights for your rights is so appreciated. Johnnie Hargrave

Here, I am introducing a law Firm named Clouthier Law, PLLC. I am 75 years old now, and I become a Victim of Elder Investment Fraud, and I was looking for a competent attorney to represent me and few other victims who were severely harmed in a case which we filed in 296th, Judicial District Court Collin County Texas . I contacted almost 100 reputed law Firms in Texas and other States, but I noticed that no law Firms were ready to represent the victims, especially Elderly Victims, because the Federal Lawmakers like FBI, FTC, SEC, DOJ, and their Prosecutors are the one who is handling the cases like Elder Investment fraud.As an Indian American I learned that language is the greatest barrier for me to talk to the American Attorneys. My First Language is MALAYALAM and English is my Second Language. Finally, I contacted attorney Susan Clouthier, who is residing in Texas, and I am in New York.Attorney Susan clearly understood my weakness, and very patiently listened my case, and offered me her service, and took the case. She reviewed the case, and came forward to represent us. In my opinion, this case is one of the "Notorious Case" in the history of Indian Americans, and I fully believe that Attorneys like Susan Clouthier will definitely win this case due to preponderance of Evidence in this case.In our case a Receiver was appointed to Investigate the case as per the request of the attorneys we hired. At the beginning the Receiver "Discovered" that there were "Multiple Badges of Fraud" committed by Former Directors of the company.Still the receiver made a settlement agreement with the Defendants and Closed the original case in the 296th, Court, and went to a different Court 471st Judicial District Court, Collin County, TX and filed a Case and misrepresented the court, and settled the case in favor of the defendants that severely " Harmed" elderly victims like me. So, we Opposed the receiver's decision with the help of Attorney Susan J. Clouthier, Esq., and filed an Appeal in the 5th COURT OF APPEALS, DALLAS, TEXAS.We, the severely harmed Elderly victims of Investment Fraud believe that we will get Justice from the HONORABLE JUDGE OF THE 5th COURT OF APPEALS, TX with the help of attorney Susan J. Clouthier and her team, because Attorney Susan and her team properly researched, investigated, and studied the case and prepared the Appellate Brief and filed it in the court. I fully believe that we, the elderly victims will win this case with the help of Attorney Susan Clouthier and her team.For Elderly Victims like us, Attorney Susan J. Clouthier and the Clouthier LAW, PLLC, is highly recommended. Thomas J. Koovalloor Member of Facebook, Twitter X, and LinkedIn.

Susan and her team have filed a brief in my Civil Appeal case. It is well written and I only hope it helps not just myself but others that may have been treated the same way by our Justice system. I have been very pleased in their ability in a situation that is pretty complicated. The degree of understanding and communication is rare when it should not be but finding someone that not only understands but fights for your rights is so appreciated. Johnnie Hargrave

House hunting in The Woodlands was intimidating. But Five Star Real Estate made it exciting. They showed us houses that ticked all our boxes. Their knowledge of the area was a huge plus. They knew where the best schools were. And the safest neighborhoods. They were honest about each property's pros and cons. We appreciated their transparency. We found a house we love, thanks to them. They even helped us negotiate a better price. We're so grateful for their guidance.

Muy decepcionada de sus servicios, pague $2000 para que me dijera q no después de enviar cartas no hay nada q hacer, me cobraron por cada llamada q hacía, y les llamaba porque ellos no tenían ni la más mínima intención de llamarme y decirme q estaba pasando con mi caso. En un principio dijeron q si podían ayudarme con el caso y q habían muchas posibilidades de ganar, pero después de q se les entregó el dinero no hicieron nada.

Steve is a no nonsense man who took my case and with his son, Arron, solved it. No more sleepless nights, or confusion, and real down to earth answers.

Life sometimes has not treated us so well, and Steve and his associates have invariably been understanding, compassionate, and helpful. Now, having relocated away from Texas due to my profession, we continue to have Powell Tax Law as our one and only legal financial counsel.

When searching for a lawyer to handle an extremely sensitive case for me, I knew I needed someone strong willed, aggressive, likable, honest, and hard working. After 5 minutes of meeting with Mike Seiler, I knew he was all of that and then some. Our consultation was thorough, yet personable and Mike truly took his time with me. He heard me out, reassured my concerns, and answered every single question I had. Throughout the process of working with him, he was by my side every second I needed him. He took an ugly situation and brought light to it and he was my teammate and leader through it all. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer, I assure you, your search ends here. Mike Seiler is the only one you’re going to need in your corner.

Tom Austin handled the guardianship case from r our special needs daughter. He was very informative and told us exactly what we needed to do. He was ALWAYS available to answer and questions and even remarks need us of her follow up a year later. He even paid to file a court document out of his own pocket because we didn’t have the cash on hand. Although it was just a small fee and we paid him right back, I can’t imagine any other attorney doing that! He is professional and personable. We felt like he genuinely cared about our daughter and her case. We will always be appreciate of what Tom Austin has done for our family !!!

This attorney is nothing less than a horrible excuse for the legal profession. He never returns calls nor does he ever keep you informed of your case or court dates. He is the worst ever. This profile claims he is a real estate attorney, however he practices family law, he is an attorney ad litem for children, he is a criminal attorney. He represented me in a case in regards to my oldest child and yet a year prior he was the ad litem attorney for my younger children where he recommended the outcome to be in favor of the plaintiff!! Needless to say I lost both cases. I reported him to the State Bar of Texas, and my complaint made it to the disciplinary committee. His response was full of lies and falsification of documentation...even his response was full of fabrication. I would advise anyone that if you are looking for an attorney that will be in your best interest....look for a different attorney because this man is not a good attorney at all!!!!

Honestly can't believe this guy has a license. Called me every name in the book the day before court and told me to file a grievance on him! He has all original docs for our case and text me telling me to contact state bar if i needed to contact him. Paid a retainer never went to court. Michael R.

Don't use this lawyer. He doesn't handle things in a timely manner. His communication stinks and the list of negatives are long. Shame someone with a license this long doesn't do what he says or handle things in a timely manner. He decided to pursue another case in the the middle of handling ours and has left us hanging for over a month. NO COMMUNICATION. We just want to finalize our case, collect our money and pay our exuberant bill.

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.
  • Title and deed issues: Lawyers can help clear title disputes, ensure the legitimacy of property deeds, and handle transfers of ownership.

What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?

A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:

  • Contract drafting and review: Ensuring that purchase agreements, leases, and other contracts are legally binding, fair, and protect your interests.
  • Title search and clearance: Conducting a thorough title search to ensure that the property has no legal claims or liens that could affect ownership.
  • Facilitate closing: Managing the closing process in real estate transactions, including reviewing final documents and ensuring that everything is in order before the transfer of ownership.
  • Resolve disputes: Handling legal disputes related to property ownership, boundaries, zoning, or tenants.
  • Assist in financing: Reviewing loan agreements and mortgage documents to ensure the terms are fair and legally sound.
  • Zoning and land use advice: Guiding clients through the complexities of zoning laws and building regulations for property development or renovation projects.

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.

Always discuss fees upfront to understand the overall cost of the legal service you're receiving.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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:

  • Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
  • 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.
