There are good and bad people in most all fields, construction included. Occasionally hard lessons are learned regarding large upfront deposits and work not completed by unscrupulous contractors who take the money and run. Civil actions against them can be like pouring good money after bad. For those who get taken by unscrupulous contractors in Tarrant County, there may be another tool to seek justice.

Commercial Real Estate Purchase Client Success!

Congratulations to Katie Thiele and one of our clients, a large residential management company, for navigating their 3rd and largest (so far), acquisition of a $14,000,000 apartment complex in East Texas. This commercial real estate purchase transaction included it all—securities counsel, a $10,000,000 loan from a difficult lender, last minute extensions, and even a structural fire just prior to closing.

Great job getting it across the finish line, Katie!
