This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Caring, Honest Professional

I would highly recommend Mr. Cahan as an extremely intelligent, honest, informed professional. In addition to his knowledge of the law, Cahan embraces human values and that puts him head and shoulders above so many others I have met. I am sincerely grateful for his help and expertise in tenant-land...lord issues. His consultation solved my problem so there was no need to hire when I would have.

The Best Eviction Attorney

He got the job done. I didn't want to evict but, had to. He took care of it all.

Affordable and Quality Representation

Our only regret is that we did not find and hire Mr. Cahan sooner to help us with nightmare tenants. Mr. Cahan is an excellent attorney when you need assistance with the eviction of unreasonable and combative tenants refusing you reasonable access to your property for reasons specified in your writt...en lease agreement.

Knowledgeable, but couldn't help.

Contacted about a landlord vs tenants, was told I would never get the rent owed or repairs done. A 1% chance I would get the repairs done and rent paid back. I'm left high and dry until I find a attorney that will help me. Still looking

Funny when I am upfront with someone that they have no chance and it is not worth paying me. Definitely could have been an attorney who deserved a 1 star review if I took your money anyway and was not truthful about the possible outcome. Its Texas, a state founded by debtors, you can waste your money going after the tenants and be out more money or accept reality. Instead I get a 1 star rating for being truthful and not accepting a case I know to be worthless.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

We had an incredible experience with Richard Cahan.

We hired Richard Cahan after a tenant trashed our house and disappeared without paying the last month of rent. Richard was extremely organized. He knew our case inside and out, and helped us get a judgement against the renter which covered all of the damages, legal fees, and missing rent. He always r...esponded to our emails in a timely fashion. He was even able to make it so we did not have to go to court and instead could give our testimony by phone. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for down to earth, competent help with a legal matter.
