I recently had the privilege of working with Matthew Cunanan to draft my living will, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, Matthew demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, efficiency, and empathy, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
One of the standout qualities of Matthew's service was his remarkable ease to work with. He guided me through each step of the process, ensuring that I understood all aspects of my living will and addressing any concerns or questions I had along the way. His clear communication and willingness to listen made me feel heard and understood, fostering a sense of trust and confidence in his expertise.
Matthew's thoughtfulness and understanding were evident throughout our interactions. He took the time to truly understand my wishes and priorities, tailoring the living will to suit my specific needs and circumstances. His compassionate approach made a potentially daunting task feel manageable, and I appreciated his genuine care for my well-being and that of my loved ones.
Thanks to Matthew's expertise and dedication, I now have peace of mind knowing that I have a comprehensive living will in place to protect my sons in the event of unforeseen circumstances. His attention to detail and commitment to ensuring thorough documentation instilled in me a sense of security, knowing that my wishes will be carried out as intended.
I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew Cunanan to anyone in need of living will services. His professionalism, efficiency, and compassionate approach make him a standout choice in this field. Working with Matthew was not only easy and quick but also reassuring and empowering. I am grateful for his assistance and would not hesitate to seek his expertise again in the future.

Paths Law Firm, without question, is the wisest choice for help with my Family's Elder Law Legal needs.
From the initial informational meeting, I knew paths Law Firm was going to be an asset in developing a "Path" that my Family could follow to meet our Trust, and Power of Attorney needs.
Russell's understanding and care about our Family's situation and his unprecedented knowledge of the correct legal requirements were only the beginning. He was so kind that he even made a house call.

Christian is very approachable and great at what he does. He can distill a complex family situation, like lack of natural heirs or charitable intentions like donating a house, and make it simple to deal with when the time comes. Best of all, he makes it easy to understand. Highly recommended!

Chip Royer was our closing agent on a home purchase. After a bad prior experience, I was keely monitoring timelines and potential red flags. There were absolutely no issues with this closing. Chip and his staff knew every nuance of not only the standard requirements for a closing, but also for the more intense VA loan closings. There were literally no hiccups in the process and the team answered every question I had along the way quickly and thoroughly. It is rare to see such detail oriented work nowadays. Chip walked us through every single form during closing and explained to us what we were signing. This was the best closing experience I have had by far. There is no other attorney that I will use. Whatever Chip provides, we will go to him for that service when needed.

We often have various needs and Howell has been instrumental in the success of our business. As the president of a female-owned business in the independent education sector, I began looking for new legal counsel about four years ago. Howell and his team were the perfect answer. He is incredibly responsive, has helped with multiple matters, especially in urgent situations. Howell was recommended to us by a close personal and professional friend, and I would easily recommend him to any one. The team at The Education Group has been very pleased with all of his work and we trust him for the most professional counsel!

My wife and I were new to the Nashville area, retired, and looking forward to starting our new future.
Unfortunately, in the process, even with a lot of due diligence we crossed paths with an unscrupulous, deceitful home contractor which eventually resulted in a loss of our funds and their eventual termination.
After hiring a law firm with little to no results, we were given a recommendation from a family member to Howell O'Rear of McInteer & O'Rear PLC Law Firm. They reviewed our case, made recommendations, and we hired them to represent us.
Mr. O'Rear, through his counsel, direction, kindness, and concern made this stressful, sometimes aggravating situation manageable. His accessibility and resolve talked me off the cliffs edge numerous times.
All through this process Mr. O'Rear was mindful and concerned of our financial stability as to our position for our retirement, and how to draw this case to a close in the least amount of time with an outcome that would benefit our situation, which he did very well.
I highly recommend McInteer & O'Rear PLC.

Thankfully, I have not had much cause to hire a lawyer until a few years ago. That being said, I now have had quite a bit of experience with attorneys and feel equipped to give a candid review of Mr Ireland. If you are in need of a Family Law Attorney, you will likely agree with me that hiring the right person is crucial, when the wellbeing of your loved ones is at stake. TRULY ... LOOK NO FURTHER than Michael Ireland! I believe my case to be quite involved and not your run of the mill scenario and Michael Ireland has handled every aspect of the case with grace and a keen attention to detail! From filing motions to contentious depositions, it is my belief that Michael Ireland will represent you in a way that will leave you impressed and appreciative. He is brilliant and has outshined any lawyer I have seen him work with or go up against. Michael Ireland is a class act! I hope to never need him again - but he is my go-to-attorney! You have a lot of choices in San Antonio - choose wisely! Choose Michael Ireland.

Boatman Law represented us in our case, and right from the start, I had a positive impression of this firm, especially their attorney, Erin Boatman. She is a highly professional and skilled attorney, easy to communicate with, and I found our interactions enjoyable. Erin's expertise became evident early on as she quickly identified mistakes made by the plaintiff's attorney and ultimately won our case. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need.

I found myself in a difficult and frightening conflict with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others.
I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably.
If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

Mr. Chambers handled our case with professionalism and integrity. We were clueless on what we were supposed to do, and he guided us through every step. He returned our calls promptly, and never made us feel like we were part of a long list of clients. It was his personable approach that we loved most. I followed up with him, about a month after everything was finished, with some questions. Mr Chambers answered those questions, and then proceeded to ask me about my family, and how we were doing. Most attorneys could care less, Timothy Cambers cares more! Thank you

We recently worked with Brandt Hollander on a complex issue involving our small family business, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the start, Brandt was incredibly organized and well-prepared, which immediately put us at ease. He took the time to explore every possible angle, ensuring we fully understood our options and felt confident in our decisions.
What stood out the most was his genuine dedication to our case. He wasn’t just looking for a quick solution; he really took the time to understand the nuances of our situation and provided thoughtful, practical advice. It was clear he had our best interests at heart.
I also appreciated how accessible and approachable he was throughout the entire process. We never felt like just another client—Brandt made us feel like our concerns were his priority. Knowing we have someone as reliable and knowledgeable as Brandt in our corner for any future needs gives us great peace of mind.
If you're looking for a real estate attorney who’s not only skilled but also truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Brandt Hollander.

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:

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:
