When you're looking for a lawyer in the spaces Brian specializes in, you're looking for three…read morethings, even if you don't realize that truth. #1) you need a fearless attorney that will go to war on your behalf if need be. That aspect of retaining an attorney can be intimidating. It requires trust. The thing is, if you don't have an attorney capable of handling worst-case​ scenario, you have the wrong attorney. #2) you need an attorney that while capable of Mad Max levels of intensity, will do everything in his or her power to broker the win-win in the early stages of many (not all) situations. The stress and money that will save you, the value of a legal peacemaker, cannot be calculated. #3) some will debate this one, but in my view, it is HUGE, Brian's legal sandbox typically covers intimate legal challenges. Meaning, some very personal stuff will boil up, and all that meat suit messy stuff. Lawyers are great at talking, and few are great at listening. Brian is ZEN at hearing and seeing the very human side of what you are going through as a complicated human being. And that shows in his demand letters, which is so important. The best lawyers know people and the power of a perfectly crafted turn of phrase, every bit as much as they know the law. Where to find a powerhouse 1-2-3 lawyer? Hire Brian if these three things matter to you. Ok, fine, I hear your brain. Am I married to his sister? A childhood friend? Until a month ago, I had never heard of the man and still can't pronounce his last name. When someone shines this brightly in specific​, critical areas to your legal wellbeing, someone that will fight for your rights, you say thank you. This Yelp review is my thank you. Hire him.

One of the best thing I ever did was hiring Christopher Daves to prepare my Trust for my Estate…read morePlanning. I wanted to take care of some important things in my life, like Estate Planning and getting my estate and health wishes in order before my retirement age to make life easier for my relatives without the future expenses of attorneys and having my legal & health documents all done and stored in one place. I called Christopher Daves to make an appointment for a meeting to come in to discuss setting up a plan to protect my assets he called me back the same day. I met with Christopher and he was very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable to all the questions and answers in setting up my Trust. I had just gone through probating my mother's will. Her home was valued at $85,000 and only about $15,000 in other assets including cash. The small town attorney in Gatesville, TX charged me $3,000 which I thought was outrageous since her estate was so small. The total amount was not much more for setting up my Estate Planning and creating my personalized Trust that Christopher Daves prepared. I decide to do a REVOCABLE TRUST - putting all my assets including my rental homes and my LLC's into the trust so my trustee, upon my death steps in and continues to run business without dealing with an attorney or probate judge making an appointment. All my deeds, bank accounts and personal assets were transferred to the trust protecting me against any future losses or liability. Knowing I'm protected when my health declines in the future and I'm protected for any lawsuits or scams when I get older is such a peace of mine. When my personalized Trust was finalized and Christopher recorded all my deeds. I was given a binder with all my legal documents all in one place to have access to. Very simple organization at a very affordable price and peace of mind. I highly recommend Christopher Daves for your Estate Planing or other legal needs.
