Real Estate and Trust Account

Steve set up a great way for my partner and I to enter into an investment together. He wrote up the contract in such a way that will enable us to use it, with minor changes, in many other future investments as well. He took time getting to know both of our positions, and possible future scenarios, t...o advise and deliver the best solution.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I met him on a matter he was working on and I immediately found his brilliance and excellence in real estate matters as an attorney who has both a practice and run a title company. He finds solutions to those unique real estate situations when others have failed. I recommend other attorneys and consumers seek his assistance in real estate matters both in Austin and San Antonio. I look forward to working on future matters with him as well."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
