About Sanford
Biography
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.
