Consultations

New clients are accepted online only. We respond promptly with preliminary comments and a confirmation that we handle your type of case. After that, we request that you send us your background documentation and make payment. A detailed consultation by email and phone then follows. We review your paperwork, evaluate the case, explain options, and recommend a course of action. Legal documents are delivered promptly in Microsoft Word or Wordperfect.

For residential real matters, the consultation fee is $150. For commercial matters, the fee is $250. There are no artificial time limits on the consultation … we discuss the case thoroughly until legal advice and guidance are substantially complete. Reasonable follow-up questions are included. For sales contract review or preparation, the fee is based on the sales price.

Ethics

We proudly subscribe to Texas Lawyers Creed as well as the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Realtors.

Free Resources

Our articles provide extensive information on earnest money contracts, asset protection in Texas, LLC formation in Texas, LLC documents in Texas, loan fraud, Texas homestead protections for individuals, buying or selling a Texas business, and more. This information could cost thousands of dollars at a traditional law firm and is offered as our equivalent of a free consultation.

Client Testimonials

Working with LoneStarLandLaw online was fast and efficient. I received high–quality, sophisticated legal documents – along with the advice I needed – without having to spend hours in a lawyer's office.

~ John T.

David Willis is a clever lawyer who came up with a great plan to protect my rental property from lawsuits. I feel much more secure now. He is available by email whenever I have questions.

~ Marion W.

I live in London but was buying a small apartment complex in Texas. Mr. Willis handled the whole transaction for me, as both my lawyer and real estate broker. It was a relief to put the transaction in the hands of someone who knows what he's doing.

~ Phillip K.

My portfolio contains about 50 rent houses. I rely on David Willis for evictions, foreclosures, deeds, and the like. This is a guy who knows the system and gets the job done.
