My tenacity has out weathered Houston's deepest economic storms with success! One noted assignment was a retail lease renewal on Kirby Drive benefiting the owner in qualifying to refinance for his redevelopment successfully.

Our knowledge and skills have been through some of the most intricate and most difficult transactions. I am asked often, what is my specialty? We objectively represent our clients. Here's one quote from a client Attorney/Developer; Julian, thank you for getting this deal closed, you accomplished the assignment and went through this extremely difficult title work requiring numerous corrections along the way to closing. This deal was just as challenging as if it was on the State Bar Exam and you passed it successfully! One of my favorite past business goals was to attend continued education in real estate annually from 2006-2014, at South Texas College of Law. Learning and applying from the state top real estate deal makers and qualified real estate lecturer's. Ranging from updated basic contracts to legal changes in real estate law, environmental law and development.
