Evictions

Very few attorneys know Landlord/Tenant Law the way we do. It’s not enough to be a real estate attorney if you have no experience in the Justice Courts and County Courts throughout the State of Texas. It’s not enough to be familiar with the Texas Property Code if you’ve never argued it in court and know which judges take the law one way and which courts take it a very different way. This experience is why having a Landlord Attorney in your corner really matters.  

When your tenant refuses to pay rent or to follow the provisions of the lease so that an Eviction filing becomes necessary, your only concern is “How do I get this back on track?” Your rental strategy only works if you’re bringing rent revenue and your rental investment is well maintained. You need a professional on your side who knows how to protect your assets and understands the courts and the law in a way that gives you a tactical advantage.

Not every problem with a tenant has to be resolved with an eviction judgment, and sometimes an eviction lawsuit can be avoided altogether, but eviction and the potential for eviction must be part of a strong management strategy, not merely a last resort. A professional landlord knows that power and the limitations of an eviction filing. You might prevent the delay of eviction with an effective settlement strategy, but such a strategy requires firm knowledge of the eviction time tables and the legal options available for settlement to work at its peak.  

Need help with eviction? 

Your first step is to book a consultation with us. During the consultation we’ll answer your questions, review the details of your case and help you create a solid legal strategy to recover your money and property quicker.

Civil Litigation

Landlords without lawsuit experience often jump to certain conclusions when their tenants even hint at the prospect of a lawsuit. The toilet stopped working, so the tenant demands a hotel stay. There’s mildew in the bathroom, and the tenant claims the home is uninhabitable. Or a tenant who left months ago, now wants to sue you for wrongfully withholding their security deposit! Nervous landlords read messages like this, and they run in and throw money at the problem, but, somehow, the tenant is never satisfied.  

Too often people neglect their most valuable assets because they’re focused on the wrong issue. Don’t allow someone to threaten you or your property.  We have extensive experience with civil litigation in Landlord/Tenant matters, debt resolution, foreclosures, and HOA disputes. 

If you’re facing the real prospect of a civil lawsuit, chances are very high that we’ve fought and won a case just like yours. Don’t panic, reach out to us, and we’ll guide you through the process in a way that shifts the leverage back to you. This way, you maneuver from a position of strength instead of fear. 

Need help with a civil lawsuit or a demand letter that you’ve received? 

Your first step is to book a consultation with us. During the consultation we’ll answer your questions, review the details of your case and help you create a time and money efficient solid legal to resolve your matter.

Document Review & Drafting

Too often, I come across Landlords who don’t have their Leases reviewed on a regular basis, don’t have crucial information highlighted in their Lease, or don’t really know what’s in their Lease at all. Whether you are in serious need of a Lease upgrade, or simply need to review your current lease for maximum effectiveness, we can help! 

Along with handling a high volume of real estate litigation, we routinely draft and file liens, notices, deeds, leases, promissory notes, and more. A well drafted document can go a long way in either settling a lawsuit or preventing the need for a lawsuit altogether. 

Ready for a Lease that protects you and your landlording business? For just $650 we can review, update, and customize your lease to make sure you have a solid foundation and a keen understanding of your legal duties, rights, and obligations for a successful landlording business.

Here’s what you’ll get with our offer:

Ernie Garcia and his team are TOP NOTCH!  Ernie is extremely knowledgeable about Real Estate and particularly rental property and managing tenants.  His team keeps him efficient and everyone is very personable.  I've been renting Single-Family homes for about 20 years and have dealt with several attorneys over the years.  I can unequivocally attest to the fact that Ernie is the absolute best!  Both professionally and personally, you can't find an attorney any better to look after your best interests!!
