Donald Richard Jones

I hired Don to represent me in a legal dispute relative to real estate. As a real estate agent, he was also serving as my real estate broker. He feigned concern in the matter and agreed to represent me. I paid him in full for every billing for a total fee of $2000. When he learned he would need to ap...pear in a Tarrant County courtroom, he requested to be relieved by the judge and he walked away from his representation. He gave me no reason for his decision and left me without the means to hire another attorney. If he had told me up front that he intended to bail out prior to a conclusion, I would have found other counsel from the beginning. I was out $2000 in legal fees with nothing to show for it. I requested a refund on the fees more than once and was offered $100 because as he said "I consider you my friend." After this terribly disappointing experience, he came back later on another issue and claimed I owed him for two days of legal services when all he did was respond to a letter and did not even provide me a copy of his response. His response to that letter was part of his services as a broker for which I also paid him on a monthly agreement. The evidence suggests that he uses his brokerage services as a pipeline to solicit legal services and blurs the lines between the two.

I've known and worked with Don Jones for nearly 20 years. He is without a doubt one of my favorite attorneys I've ever worked with. He is honest, trustworthy, responsive and very fair on fees. Don has helped me negotiate contracts, leases, CC&R's, Title issues, etc. I have and will continue to r...ecommend Don to anyone looking for a quality, experienced Real Estate Attorney.

Hands down, the best business decision we have made was adding Donald Jones to our team. His expertise and knowledge of real estate law have served us well. Don has been able to help us acquire a better type of client, thus increasing our revenue. He has also given us valuable guidance that has he...lped us avoid long legal battles and saved us both time and money. We didn't know an attorney could do that, but he has!
