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.

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!
