I purchased a new home in 2019. Less than a year passed when I received a letter from Texas Department of Transportation informing me that a portion of my property was needed for a major road expansion. To make matters worse, my home, my brand new home, would need to be condemned as a result. In stepped Padau Law Firm. After assuring me they could help, they quickly intervened and took immediate action to seek a remedy for my situation. They expertly handled everything from start to finish. They took care of all legalities to include negotiating settlement and damages with TXDOT to communicating with my local City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to obtain a change to easement requirements on my property. As a result, I am able to stay in my home! Padau exceeded all my expectations. Throughout the entire process, anything I didn't understand they explained. They scrutinized, objected and corrected as necessary all of the legal documentation on my behalf. Any stress or anxiety I had was always resolved in a highly professional and courteous manner. There are no words to describe how grateful my family and I are for the Padau Law Firm. I would unequivocally recommend them to anyone who is in need of help.
Alex is a condemnation attorney that you know will have your back every step of the way. Through a 2 year process he diligently worked on my case and I received a very favorable settlement with the government. He is a consummate professional, and I am very pleased with having worked with him.

Professional Service
Padua Law helped me with an eminent domain issue concerning a pipeline the state wanted to put across my property. They were very professional and got me more money then the original offer. They also put terminology into the agreement to protect my rights going forward.

Abogado de Accidentes
Yo, Francisco Villa Cárdenas, sufrí heridas y lesiones terribles relacionadas a un incidente en los departamentos donde yo vivía. Quiero agradecer a mis abogados de accidentes por el desempeño y el trabajo que han demostrado durante el trámite largo de mi caso. La verdad, estoy muy agradecido con ellos. Sus nombres son Lic. Alejandro “Alex” Padua y Lic. Sara Padua.
Fueron personas que trabajaron mucho, lucharon, y pudieron ganar una compensación una recompensa y pudieron ayudarme. Estoy muy contento que pudieron ayudarme con su trabajo, y así pudieron cambiar mi vida y mi situación económica; es por eso que estoy agradecido. Así mismo puedo dar el siguiente mensaje a la gente y comunidad hispana: si han tenido o han pasado por experiencias que yo pase, les recomiendo mis abogados. NO IMPORTA SU ESTAS MIGRATORIO. Además, si han tenido malas experiencias con otros abogados, yo les recomiendo a mis abogados que ellos escucharon y vieron mi situación, y pelearon mi caso. Es por ello que hoy puedo vivir una vida diferente con la recompensa que me ganaron. No lo piensen más. Alejando “Alex” Padua y Sara Padua: excelentes abogados de lesiones personales y de heridas derivadas de accidentes.

Do not hesitate.
We were made an offer by a pipeline company to replace their pipeline on our property. Their representative relayed an offer and a copy of their contract. I contacted 3 different lawyers about looking out for our best interests and immediately decided Mr. Padua was right for us. He was very personable on the phone, very patient in explaining how things might or might not go, and very considerate in understanding our needs. Bottom line is he got the original offer increased by a factor of five! He also got the pipeline company to rewrite the original contract more to our benefit.
We are very satisfied with Alex and highly recommend his services.
