Property questions are easier to answer when the deed, the contract, and the notices are on the table. Alex Lieber-Alessie has kept a general practice at 2203 Hardy St in Houston since 1978. Real estate is one of the areas people bring to that office, along with personal injury, probate, contract disputes, criminal law, and family law.
People call about a house they are buying or selling, a piece of land, a rental, a title problem, or a notice that names the property. The first conversation does not require you to know which form is the right one. Say whether you own the property, whether you are under contract, and whether a closing date, a court date, or a response date is already on the calendar. Those three facts decide how soon the meeting should be.
Bring the paper that started the question. That may be a purchase contract, a lease, a deed, a survey, a title commitment, a letter from a lender, or a notice posted on the property or sent by mail. If the document is long, bring the whole thing, not only the signature page. If a spouse, a relative, or a business partner is also on the title, bring their name and say whether they will come to the consultation.
Make a one-page timeline. When the contract was signed, when money changed hands, when the problem first appeared, and when any deadline falls. Property disputes often turn on that sequence more than on a general description of the disagreement. If you have photographs of the condition of a building, bring a few that show the issue clearly. The office can review them with the written file.
The office is at 2203 Hardy St, Houston, TX 77026. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday, 9 AM to 1 PM. Sunday the office is closed. Call (713) 224-4300 to set a phone consultation or a visit. You can speak in English or in Spanish. Walk-ins are welcome during posted hours, and a call ahead helps the office be ready for the file you are bringing.
A real estate matter sometimes overlaps another part of the practice. A parent’s house can also be a probate question. A signed agreement that one side will not perform can also be a contract dispute. A family member living in the property can raise a family law question. Mention the overlap on the first call so the consultation covers the whole situation, not only the deed.
Nothing on this page tells you whether to sign, close, or walk away. That judgment depends on the documents and on deadlines that are specific to your file. The page explains how the office takes in a property matter. It is not a substitute for reading your contract with a lawyer.
Reading this page, or calling the office, does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. If you have a property paper in front of you and you are unsure what it requires, call (713) 224-4300 and bring it to 2203 Hardy St.
