Built on Relationships, Motivated by Results.
Practical Solutions & Trusted Advice.
Since its founding in 1994, the lawyers of Dankesreiter & Emmet, LLP have built relationships with a diverse group of individuals, professionals, and business clients by offering practical solutions and trusted advice. We provide clients with an honest and accurate appraisal of legal needs and recommend solutions in the most practical, efficient, and economically feasible manner.
At times, we recommend alternatives to the legal process or even to our representation. If we know of a better alternative, we will simply tell you. While this approach is sometimes detrimental to our short-term revenues, over the years it has helped us build long-term relationships. Because of our focus on relationships with our clients, we are motivated to obtain good results.
Our Areas of Practice
Business Formation and Transactions.
We help business owners establish their business the correct way and use correct processes to limit risks. We have experience guiding clients through the process of purchasing an existing business or selling their business. When you come to us for these services, we pay attention to the details. We will help you understand the immediate and long term implications of business structures and contract terms, thereby helping you to manage risks and protect assets.
Business Litigation and Disputes.
We have extensive experience handling a wide array of commercial litigation and business disputes. We know that business owners want to focus on business instead of litigation. When breaches of contract or disagreements between business owners occur, our goal is to resolve matters efficiently and effectively through negotiations. When that is not possible, we have the experience to take your matter through the litigation process and achieve a successful outcome.
Family Law, Divorce and Modifications.
Family law matters are among the most difficult and emotionally charged legal issues. Decisions made during these proceedings have long-lasting impacts on family, assets and finances, and legal rights. Our attorneys work tirelessly to protect your rights and ensure that all agreements, property divisions, and custody arrangements are fair to you. Our family law practice involves prenuptial agreements, divorce, property division, enforcement, and modifications.
Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts.
The lawyers at Dankesreiter & Emmet, LLP will meet with you at no initial cost to determine your estate planning needs. Contemplating disbursement of property after one’s death can be uncomfortable and emotional. However, making proper arrangements provides a sense of security and peace of mind. No matter your wealth or income level, we utilize a variety of legal tools to transfer your assets upon death and provide for management of health issues and assets in the event of long term incapacity.
Probate and Estate Administration.
The administration of a deceased person’s estate can occur with or without a will. Whether or not a will exists, there are several different legal methods to transfer assets and deal with estate’s debt. A probate attorney represents executors and heirs in court and assists them in the administration of the estate. You can rely on the experienced attorneys of Dankesreiter & Emmet, LLP to help you determine the most efficient legal method for you and then guide you through the process.
Probate Litigation and Trust Disputes.
The probate process can quickly turn grieving into a dispute over the administration of a loved one’s will, trust or estate. At times, the person in control of the estate breaches fiduciary duties to the decedent’s heirs and beneficiaries. Probate matters are often complex and sensitive. If you and your family are facing a probate dispute, it is essential to retain the services of an experienced advocate to rely on throughout the process. We have that experience and skill you will need.
Real Estate Law.
We represent clients in both commercial and residential real estate matters. We have successfully represented buyers, sellers, developers, builders, HOAs, real estate agents, landlords and tenants. Our clients have relied on us to draft and help negotiate the documents necessary to facilitate transactions. Our experience also includes resolution of disputes and defending our clients’ real property rights when litigation becomes necessary.
Construction Law.
At Dankesreiter & Emmet, LLP, we have over 25 years of experience handling complex construction law issues. We have represented property owners, construction companies, suppliers and professionals in connection with construction defects. Having represented parties from all stages of construction gives us unusual insight.
Consumer Representation.
We offer strong advocacy for consumers harmed by unfair business practices or by not being provided what they were promised. The Texas Deceptive Trade Practice Act provides a powerful tool for consumers to recover against unscrupulous businesses, as damage awards can be tripled for knowing and willful violations. Our attorneys have the right experience to advance your claims, and either present your case at trial, or negotiate an appropriate settlement.
Payment Portal
For the convenience of our clients, we offer a secure payment portal. If you have any questions regarding your invoice, please reach out to us. We welcome the opportunity to provide explanations or make it right.
