When your contractor didn’t deliver what was promised.

You spent time, money, and trust building or remodeling your home, and now something’s gone wrong. Maybe the work wasn’t done right, deadlines were ignored, or your contractor isn’t returning your calls. You don’t have to handle it on your own.

We represent homeowners across North Texas dealing with construction defects, incomplete projects, or broken contracts. We help you understand your options, communicate with the contractor, and take legal steps to recover damages or compel proper repairs.

Why hiring an attorney matters:

Construction disputes can quickly become complicated. A knowledgeable real estate attorney can review your contracts, document evidence of poor workmanship, and ensure compliance with complex statutory law (which is often a prerequisite to holding bad contractors accountable). When appropriate, they also handle negotiations or legal filings on your behalf, protecting your investment and your rights from the start.

Every case involves a process: contacting the other side, reviewing their response, and working toward a resolution. Our job is to guide you through each step and keep things moving efficiently, so you can focus on restoring your home and peace of mind.

Examples of home construction defects:

• You hired an electrician to replace old wiring in your home and they did not properly install new wiring, circuits, breakers, or outlets.
• You hired a company to do work on your home, and work has not started after a period of time.
• You hired a company to replace flooring, and the finished products has air pockets underneath, isn’t secure and is not level.
• You hired a kitchen remodeler, the appliances and cabinets were not installed correctly, the finishes were not to quality and the outlets don’t work.
• You hired a roofing company to replace your roof after a storm…
• You hired a pool company to install an in-ground pool for your family to enjoy, and it has cracks.

How we could help:

• We can make demands to the contractor to fix the defect.
• Work toward a settlement that could be a replacement, “redo” or monetary.
• Communicate to the other side and/or their attorney(s) on your behalf.
• Conduct due diligence to find information not easily available.

How does it work?

When homeowners experience home construction defects, the State of Texas has outlined a procedure and timeline that attorneys (and their clients) have to follow before filing a lawsuit against a General Contractor. Why? To give both sides the opportunity to present the issue and do their best to reach a reasonable settlement. If a settlement can’t be reached, then it may escalate to litigation.

In Texas, the Residential Construction Liabilities Act (RCLA) controls what and how attorneys have to navigate their clients’ situation, and is a complex statuatory law.

How long does the RCLA process take?

At a minimum, it takes a few months, but if can easily escalate to much longer depending on a number of factors.

When a home-related agreement doesn’t go as planned.

Contracts are meant to protect everyone involved, but when terms are unclear, misunderstood, or ignored, disputes can arise quickly. Whether you’re purchasing a home, entering a rent-to-own agreement, dealing with a broken lease, or executory contract, these situations can put your finances and your housing at risk.

Why hiring an attorney matters:

Contracts are enforceable legal documents, not just agreements in principle. We don’t just look at what the contract says; we look at how it applies to your real situation and help you decide the smartest next step, whether that’s negotiation, formal demand, or another legal remedy.

This service is ideal for:

• First-time homeowners navigating complex purchase or financing agreements
• Experienced homeowners facing disputes over contract terms
• Buyers or sellers involved in executory contracts or rent-to-own agreements
• Homeowners dealing with lease or occupancy disputes
• Anyone unsure whether the other party has breached a home-related contract

We regularly review and advise on:

• Residential purchase agreements (excluding title work)
• Executory contracts and seller-financed agreements
• Rent-to-own arrangements
• Home leases and occupancy agreements
• Amendments, addendums, and contract modifications

Our goal is to help you understand what the contract actually requires, and what happens when those obligations aren’t met.

Protect Your Home and Your Agreement

When a home-related contract breaks down, it’s not just a paperwork issue — it affects where you live and what you’ve invested. You deserve legal guidance that’s clear, practical, and focused on protecting your future.

Protect your home and your rights when dealing with your HOA.

Whether you’re a first-time homeowner or have owned property for years, dealing with a homeowners association can be frustrating. HOA rules, notices, fines, and special assessments are often confusing, inconsistently enforced, and difficult to challenge without legal guidance.

Why hiring an attorney matters:

HOAs are governed by strict rules, but those rules must be followed correctly. An experienced attorney knows how to interpret governing documents, spot overreach, and advocate effectively on your behalf.

We don’t escalate conflict unnecessarily. Instead, we focus on clear communication, strategic negotiation, and protecting your interests at every step.

This service is ideal for:

• Homeowners unfamiliar with HOA rules and enforcement
• Homeowners facing ongoing HOA issues or escalating fines
• Homeowners disputing violations, fees, or special assessments
• Property owners dealing with inconsistent or unfair HOA enforcement

We regularly review and advise on:

• Reviewing HOA governing documents (like bylaws and community rules)
• Responding to violation notices and demand letters
• Negotiating fines, fees, and assessments
• Challenging improper or selective enforcement
• Communicating with HOA boards or management companies

Our focus is on resolving issues early and before they turn into liens, collections, or lawsuits.

Why Proactive Legal Review Matters

HOA disputes often start small: a notice, a fine, or a disagreement over compliance. Left unaddressed, these issues can grow into mounting fees, liens against your property, or legal action.

By involving an attorney early, we help:

• Clarify whether the HOA is acting within its authority

• Address violations appropriately and on time

• Reduce or eliminate improper fees

• Prevent long-term consequences tied to your property

A measured response now can prevent serious legal and financial consequences later.

Don’t Let HOA Issues Put Your Home at Risk

Your home is one of your biggest investments. You shouldn’t feel powerless when facing an HOA dispute or unexpected fees. With the right legal guidance, you can address the issue, protect your property, and move forward with confidence.

Protect your home before you sign on the dotted line.

Whether you’re buying your first home or you’ve owned property for years, home-related contracts can be overwhelming. Purchase agreements, contractor contracts, renovation agreements, and service proposals are often filled with fine print that can create serious legal and financial problems later on.

A proactive contract review for homeowners helps you understand what you’re agreeing to before issues arise. This service is designed to protect your home, your investment, and your peace of mind.

Why hiring an attorney matters:

Online templates and quick reviews can’t replace legal experience. An attorney understands how contracts are enforced, where disputes typically arise, and how language can be interpreted if something goes wrong.

We don’t just read contracts; we anticipate problems before they happen and help you decide whether to move forward, renegotiate terms, or walk away.

This service is ideal for:

• First-time homeowners who want reassurance before making a major purchase

• Experienced homeowners who know contracts can hide costly risks

• Homeowners hiring general contractors, remodelers, or builders

• Anyone who wants legal clarity before committing to a home-related agreement

We regularly review and advise on:

• Home purchase agreements and addendums

• Contractor and renovation contracts

• Remodel, repair, and construction agreements

• Service contracts related to your home

• Change orders, warranties, and liability clauses

Our goal is to make sure the contract protects you, not just the other party.

Why Proactive Legal Review Matters

Many homeowners don’t contact an attorney until something goes wrong, such as when a contractor walks off the job, repairs are substandard, timelines are missed, or disputes arise over payment or responsibility.

By reviewing your contract upfront, we help:

• Identify unfair or one-sided terms

• Clarify your rights and responsibilities

• Reduce the risk of future disputes

• Avoid expensive legal battles down the road

A short review now can prevent months of stress later.

Peace of Mind Starts Before You Sign

Buying a home or hiring a contractor is a big decision. Having an attorney review your contract before you commit gives you clarity, confidence, and protection so you can move forward without second-guessing.
