Creel Law Group is a full-service real estate law firm with a wide variety of experience in everything from representing the seller of a campus condo to the wildest title curative projects you could imagine. 

Here’s a small selection of our representative work:

• Our attorneys are adept at preparing title opinions—with particular experience in the buying and selling of distressed assets, including tax foreclosure properties and REO.

• We advise real estate developers so that their budget and cash flow aspirations become certain. We evaluate property titles so that there are no surprises. If you are in a pickle with a title company, our managing partner will do his best to educate them on why your position is correct.

• We support property rights and your ability to do what you want on your land. Did you forget to mow your yard? We’re happy to take on your HOA. Property values in Austin are in no danger of slipping. Whether you want to paint your house pink or pull up your custom RV onto your front yard, we have your back.

• Are you interested in investing in properties up for a mortgage or tax foreclosure? We can make sure you are bidding confidently by evaluating the title history of the property and, if applicable, the underlying tax suit.

Creel Law Group has more collective experience at the regulatory, legislative, and litigation of ad valorem tax liens transferred pursuant to Chapter 32 of the Texas Tax Code than most other firms in the state of Texas.

A few of our accomplishments include:

• Performing over 6,000 origination title reviews for our Property Tax Lender clients to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and to properly perfect the transfer of tax lien.

• Representing our Property Tax Lender clients in thousands of enforcement cases and delinquent tax suits across every county in Texas.

• Securing a victory in front of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for our Property Tax Lender clients exempting them from the federal Truth in Lending Act, which is nearly impossible to comply with under the Texas Property Tax Lender licensing act.

• Our Managing Attorney has testified before the Texas Legislature on bills affecting the industry.

• Provide consulting to our Property Tax Lender clients on regulatory compliance, licensing, advertising review, audit response, and collections design.

• Filed suit against the Finance Commission of Texas.

If you have been injured, first and foremost, we are sorry and we hope that you recover as quickly and painlessly as possible. We understand that this is a traumatic time for you or someone you care about and we want to make this as easeful as possible for you.

Creel Law Group will provide your case with the care and attention it deserves. Our Director of Litigation has decades of experience in both Plaintiff’s personal injury law and insurance defense. 

We can handle any car crash, 18-Wheeler accident, slip and fall, construction accident, and almost any claims involving personal injury. While we personally handle the vast majority of our cases, if we can’t handle it, we partner with some of the best law firms in the country and will be supporting you every step of the way. 

Whether the resolution is settlement or a jury trial, we have your back.
