Dallas Real Estate Lawyer

Real estate law refers to the body of laws and contract rules that govern the buying, selling, leasing, and financing of property. In Texas, those rules shape how residential transactions are documented, how title is insured, how disclosure obligations are handled, and how ownership restrictions such as easements, deed restrictions, and HOA covenants affect a property’s use and value.

 

Residential transactions often move quickly, but the legal consequences of mistakes last. A purchase contract sets deadlines, defines inspection and repair rights, allocates risk for property condition, and controls what happens when a party misses a closing condition. The Dallas residential real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC assist with issues including contract analysis and drafting, title related disputes, entity structuring for residential investment ownership, and dispute strategy when problems arise.

Commercial Real Estate Transactions and Litigation

The Dallas real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC advise businesses, investors, and developers on commercial real estate transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions, leasing, financing coordination, and entity structuring for ownership and joint ventures. When a commercial real estate dispute develops, Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents owners, buyers, developers, and other parties in litigation involving purchase and sale agreements, leases and guaranties, and construction-related disputes affecting commercial properties.

Residential Purchases and Sales

Roquemore Skierski PLLC represents buyers, sellers, investors, and property owners in residential acquisitions and dispositions throughout the Dallas area. Our work commonly includes:

 

  • Reviewing and negotiating residential purchase and sale agreements
  • Drafting transaction-specific provisions
  • Coordinating contract performance
  • Preparing additional documentation tied to post-close agreements or residential leases

Title And Closing Support

Title is the legal record of ownership, and title insurance is a policy issued at closing that protects against certain ownership problems identified through public records. In most transactions, the title company provides a title commitment, which is the document that lists what must be addressed before closing and what the title policy will not cover. When that commitment includes liens, easements, restrictions, or record inconsistencies, the transaction can slow down or the property’s intended use can change.

 

The Dallas residential real estate attorneys at Roquemore Skierski PLLC work with clients and title companies to identify issues, request and review the underlying documents, and pursue curative steps to conclude the transaction.

Residential Leasing and Landlord Support

Residential leasing is a core business activity for many Dallas-area property owners and investors, and leases control the cash flow and operating expectations for each property. A well-drafted lease defines rent, maintenance responsibilities, default remedies, renewal terms, and restrictions on assignment and subleasing, while also creating a practical enforcement framework if performance issues arise.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists landlords and residential investors with lease drafting, lease review, renewals, and modifications that may limit future disputes and support enforcement when a default affects rent or property condition.

Negotiating Ownership Structure for Investors

Residential properties are frequently held through shared family ownership, investor arrangements, or entity structures used to manage liability and decision-making. When ownership is not documented clearly, disagreements over repairs, refinancing, and sale can become difficult to resolve.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC assists with entity formation and ownership documentation that aligns with expectations, including operating agreements that address decision-making authority, ownership splits, and dispute resolution.

Construction Defect Litigation Involving Residential Properties

Even with careful drafting and oversight, defects can appear in new construction, additions, remodels, and major repairs, and those defects often present as water intrusion, building envelope failures, foundation and structural problems, and other failures that require repair. Residential defect disputes can also involve several participants, including builders, general contractors, subcontractors, designers, and suppliers, which makes allocating responsibility difficult.

 

Roquemore Skierski PLLC handles residential construction defect litigation and focuses on building a clear factual record, evaluating relevant contracts and warranties, and pursuing outcomes that include negotiated repairs, cost recovery, or defense against overstated claims.
