Kevin R Childs

The housing market in Austin is pretty crazy right now (2/2021), with multiple offers over asking price for every listing, appraisal values lagging behind offer values by a month or two, and a number of developer-flippers on the scene doing work of varying quality. I am an attorney and felt uncomf...ortable with some of the hand-waving "don't worry about it" kind of responses I heard from other professionals involved in our transaction. Kevin patiently confirmed that our concerns were valid, discussed multiple options for remedying some of the fixes we agreed to in the face of a recalcitrant seller, and spent time explaining to our realtor what the legal significance of certain covenants and other documents were. I highly recommend hiring Kevin -- even if yours is a relatively routine transaction. Values are climbing every month and the peace of mind a good lawyer can offer is invaluable with so much money on the line. I understand Kevin is also a licensed architect -- something which was apparent as we combed through surveys and property records with an extraordinary level of detail.

We gave Attorney Kevin Childs a bundle of problems to unravel and solve, to save our retirement income property. This included two banks, a delinquent tenant, watchful International Corp, prospective new leery tenants and the possibility of losing it all. Kevin worked through the maze with a diligenc...e and professionalism that brought this project together and saved our property. His expertise & ability to work with various personalities got the results we needed.

I hired Mr. Childs to represent me in a landlord/tenant lawsuit. He was highly recommended by my personal injury attorney. Kevin and his staff were very attentive and kept me informed every step of the way. They were always just a phone call away if I had any questions and any messages I left were pr...omptly returned. I know I wasn't his only client, but it felt like I was given his full attention whenever we met/talked. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a civil attorney. He won't let you down!
