I hired Kerry to deal and battle with the mortgage company who were trying to foreclose on our property but were not dealing with the outstanding issues. Kerry took care of this for me and did a remarkable job of battling the big city lawyers and achieved an very good result for me.

I was selling my home FSBO and needed a lawyer to review the documents and help me with the title transfer. I live 3,000 miles from the property that I was attempting to sell and needed an attorney close to it so that the sellers could have the closing at the attorney’s office. In my search, I called about 22 attorneys that advertised themselves as real estate attorneys. I received a return call from two. Fortunately for me, Kerry Lee Prisock was the first, and, how glad I am that he was. After reading his online reviews, I decided he was my attorney of choice. Am I glad I did? He made the 3,000 miles seem like nothing. Most of the communication was electronic via email and text. I paid for his services via PayPal (how cool is that??). I was soon to find out that he is probably the most accommodating attorney when it comes to schedules. I’ve sent texts late and received responses when most would have turned off their phones. He was actually willing to have the closing on Memorial Day (go figure!!). When the buyers ran into trouble with the time for the closing, he rescheduled one of other clients so that they could meet with him based on their schedule.
But, this is what sets Mr. Prisock apart from all others. The transaction was complete, I had paid him and he had provided all services promised. So needless to say, I was surprised when, the next day, I received an email from him saying that the bank needed more information from me. I truly believe that if Mr. Prisock was the average attorney, he would have considered the transaction complete and I would never have received that email. The agreement had been met on both sides….there was nothing further to be done. But being who Mr. Prisock is, he went out of his way to make sure I received the information. Because I received it in a timely manner, I was able to ensure that the closing went through.
If you haven’t decided on an attorney to help you with your situation, please consider this one. From the bottom of my heart, I believe he will serve you well.

Kerry recently helped my husband and me with the purchase of our home. We had some major issues that we needed negotiated with the seller to be able to close on the home. We are from out of state, so we weren't familiar with any area attorneys. We called a few law offices, but Kerry seemed the most competent. We hired him without even meeting him and paid him via PayPal. He did everything he said he would and more to get us to the closing stage. He was always available via phone, email, or text. We are more than grateful that we were lucky enough to stumble upon him. We highly recommend Kerry without reservation for legal services!

I currently reside in California. I have a home in Rockwall, TX that I purchased as the initial homeowner in April, 2004. My daughter had resided in the home from Day 1. Over the 10 years, I had refinanced with the lender and about two years ago, due to tax issues, I had to file bankruptcy. My lender was cooperative throughout the process. After the bankruptcy was finalized, the lender shifted gears and wanted to foreclose on my home. After falling behind several months during the proceedings, once the proceedings ended, I began making payments. After 8 months of payments, the lender suddenly refused to accept the next month's payment and demanded payment in full of the back payments. The lender strung me along for 5-6 months, pending review of my refinance request. Then my application was denied. My daughter had to vacate her home of 10 years. I had equity in the house. The lender would not agree to let me put it on the market and sell it, paying off my debt in full and still receiving some equity after paying the Real Estate commissions and title company. The house was put into foreclosure. As the sale date drew close, I decided to fight. While in CA, I researched attorneys online that served the Rockwall area. With the clock ticking, Kerry Prisock was the first attorney to respond. I only had a couple of days before the foreclosure sale was scheduled. I asked for help to hold off the lender until I could sell my home and pay off the lender. Kerry told me step by step what he could do for me, what the courts would do, as well as what the lender would do. He told me what the cost would be from start to finish. I hired Kerry using PayPal. Everything happened exactly as Kerry told me it would. My house is currently in escrow and will close in the next couple of weeks. While I have never met Kerry personally, I know the next time I'm in the area, I will make a point to stop by his office and shake his hand. He is a man of his word. He has answered all of my questions. He has filed documents when he said he would. Not only would I highly recommend Kerry Prisock for your legal needs, I would never look elsewhere, should I ever need legal services in Texas.

Kerry is great, he's a responsive lawyer and is extremely reasonable on his fees. I never pay his bills and think I'm getting taken to the cleaners. He's also very well versed in areas of real estate that are particularly important for my line of business.

I was referred to Ryan Lee by another highly recommened attorney in Rockwall County. She referred me to Ryan's Law Firm as she knew I needed someone that was going to be there to represent my case. Everytime I have called Ryan's and David's office either Ryan or David will accept my call. They also always answer emails promptly. I strongly recommend this Law Firm. David and Ryan Lee are straight to the point and have always addressed my questions and concerns.
I hope this review helps the next person that needs strong representation and support in a stressful time.

Ryan is by far the best lawyer to use for a criminal defense case in Rockwall County. He was very attentive to our concerns and uncertainties regarding the whole legal process of a criminal case. He is very knowledgeable and professional in the court setting, but also very personable and practical outside of the courtroom. His rates were affordable and he was worth every penny of it! If you’re facing a criminal case, Ryan will go to bat for you and put your mind at ease while he fights to get you the best possible outcome. You won’t be disappointed!!

Ryan was the most professional, attentive and knowledgeable attorney one could have . He was not only available to me at any time during my proceedings, but to my family as well - not only assisting in the legal aspect of things, but being a calming force during a very stressful time. His knowledge of Texas law as well as the courts serve him well as he helped navigate my case to the best resolution possible under the circumstances.
I highly recommend Ryan Lee and his firm to anyone who is looking for a highly skilled, competent attorney who will do all that he can to bring your case to a favorable end.

I received an arrest for a 3rd DUI. Needless to say I was at my wits end. There was no blame to go around, it was my fault. I was referred to Mr. Gray and was very fortunate for him to take my case on. Due to fact I was a Veteran, Mr. Gray was very familiar with the Veterans Court Program here in Rockwall County. He was actually a part of the Vet Court Team for some time. We agreed the Vet Court program was the best course of action. Mr. Gray worked closely with me to get me into the program. It was not an easy process. On my part, I was writing letters and Mr. Gray was in constant contact with the County DA. Needless to say, approximately 9 months later, I was accepted into the program. After two years in the program and successfully completing the rigorous requirements, my charges were expunged. None of this would have happened without Mr. Gray. If you find yourself in serious legal bind, and you feel like there is no hope, I would highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Greg Gray!

Attorney Gray handled my 21 year old sons DWI#2. His guidance and direction made this very unpleasant situation tolerable. Our results were even better than we could have possibly expected. Attorney Gray is very experienced and set our minds at ease.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Rockwall, Texas?
Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:
-
Within the Same State:
Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state. -
Outside of Their Licensed State:
If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:- Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
- Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
-
International Representation:
For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.
It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.
How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer
Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:
-
Verify Their License:
Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose. -
Experience and Specialization:
Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history. -
Disciplinary Record:
Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records. -
Client Reviews and Testimonials:
Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences. -
Professional Memberships:
Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards. -
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community. -
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns. -
Ask for References:
A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.
