Out of State Homerowner and Investor.

He is an excellent and well-respected attorney who in an expert in his area for many years. His expertise includes homeowner or condo assoc...iation matters, foreclosures, and real estate liens. Preston’s legal advice and actions has always been thoughtful, practical, and accurate. I gladly refer family and friends to him.

Do You Need a Legal Expert in Real Estate? Call Preston!

As a licensed realtor, there are many times that I need to turn to legal counsel for clients' questions. Preston is always there to take the time to help. He goes out of his way to keep me informed of the latest real estate happenings, affecting the sellers involved in short sales and foreclosures.... I can always depend on Preston to handle the clients, that I refer, with courtesy and respect for their position, while educating them on their options. I always get good feedback on him.

Wish I had hired him from the beginning

I had a complicated, long drawn out case and hired Preston after my first attorney had already messed several things up. Preston brought himself up to speed very quickly and offered many options to bring my case to a close. I just wish I had found and hired him from the beginning. I believe my cas...e would have had an even better outcome! It was a real estate litigation case.

I used Mr. Oughton for real estate matter regarding a deliquent mortgage. I had so many questions since I am new at dealing with these matters. All my questions were answered clearly so I had a good understanding of the legal side of my issue. Options were given to me with the pros/cons of each actio...n. I was very impressed with Mr. Oughton's knowledge and comfortable in questioning him thoroughly. I was satisfied with the outcome. I will used him in the future for any legal matters I may have.

Excellent legal service.

As a Real Estate Developer, I have used the services of Mr. Oughton on different occasions. In an Arbitration Hearing and Contract preparation, I find him to be very professional and caring to my legal needs. He is an excellent litigator and negotiator. I would recommend him to anyone needing a Rea...l Estate attorney.
