ABC CHANNEL 13 HOUSTON: "THE ATTORNEY YOU WANT TO GO TO WITH REAL ESTATE QUESTIONS."

Mr. Dow's practice involves litigating commercial disputes, as well as representing clients in various real estate and business transactions.   Board Certified in Civil Trial Law, Commercial Real Estate Law, and Residential Real Estate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (one of only 6 Texas lawyers triple board certified in those same three practice areas), Mr. Dow, who is also a licensed Texas Real Estate Salesman, is uniquely qualified to assist his transactional clients in avoiding common business traps which often result in unwanted litigation.  Having tried numerous jury and non-jury cases, Mr. Dow's background provides a basis for explaining how deals are developed and how agreements unravel.  He has represented clients in both stated and federal courts, and has appeared before the Texas Court of Appeals.

Best Attorney with Proven Results
Sandy has represented my Real Estate business for well over a decade now. My confidence in his ability and results have never been surpassed by any other attorneys I have met or have hired. He will represent you with a no nonsense approach and does not waste time in meetings or correspondence. He has had a high rate of success for us since the mid 90's. Sandy has had impressive results for some difficult cases. My first contact with him was due to poor representation from 2 other law firms in a long draw out case with a National fast food chain. Sandy was fantastic and of course we did win our case.
