Quit Claim Deed Issue

We want to express our deepest appreciation to our lawyer Chris as he came through for us at a critical time of need. Let me explain. We had recently applied for a mortgage loan modification through our mortgage company, completing and submitting supporting documentation as required. A title deed iss...ue came up requiring we obtain a Quit Claim Deed to our mortgage loan servicing department ASAP or we were at risk losing our pending approval status. Just to tell you a little bit about how we know Attorney Deanda, my husband and Chris have years as close friends and previous co-workers. But we didn't think of contacting him with this issue being that he is located in Midland, TX. After hours of researching online and calling several title company's and law firms here locally on how to obtain this quit claim deed form, we exhausted our resources. A couple of months ago my son had recently hired Attorney Deanda to represent him in his divorce. Mind you, we live in Lubbock, TX and the chances of Attorney Deanda representing my son were very slim. To our surprise, Chris took on my son's case within a day's notice and went above and beyond for him. But my son will have to write his own review ;-). I talked to my husband about contacting Chris to see if he could help us with this title issue. I took a chance and emailed him explaining our situation and asked for a consultation with him. Within 2 days I receive an email from him with an attached Quit Claim Deed form, which was exactly what we were needing!! I thanked him and thanked him over and over again. We are happy to report that we were recently approved for a mortgage loan modification through our mortgage company! Even though Chris is located in Midland we will not hesitate to request his services again or highly recommend him here in Lubbock, TX. He has a very caring and patient disposition, that has not changed. Chris is passionate about his profession and how he cares for people and choosing this profession is definitely the right calling for him. Chris Deanda is an excellent attorney and without a doubt highly recommend his services!!

Pat, I really enjoyed working with you and your son. I know that divorce and child custody battles are pleasant times in one's life. Also, I appreciate you giving me a chance to help you with the quit claim deed and property situation that other attorneys could not help you with.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Chris during our years as prosecutors for the Midland County District Attorney’s Office. While working for Midland County we had the opportunity to try some high-level felony offenses together. Chris is an extremely talented and experienced trial attorney who is liked by jurors, respected by judges and prosecutors, knowledgeable about the law, perceptive about people and opposing strategy, prepared for a fight and dedicated to zealously advocating for people caught up in the criminal justice system. Chris is always ready to duke it out in the courtroom and go the distance. Anyone seeking representation in a criminal case would be lucky to have Chris in their corner."

"Mr. Deanda is a rare breed because he brings West-Texas courtesy and well above-average competency to the table. He works harder than most with a military background, which is a bold statement that I will stand by. You will leave his office with a positive view of lawyers and come back when no one else makes you feel the same way."
