What Our Clients Say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent Lawyer" I am short of words to appreciate and thank Rick Villareal for helping me complete my long-awaited documents like TODD, POA, Will etc.. He is fast, accurate and thorough in his profession and above all very friendly. He answered all my questions. I would recommend him to all my friends and anyone who needs a trusted and honest lawyer who can provide guidance and support. Thanks Rick. — Kiran, via Avvo
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Trust Documents" Rick was referred to us by trusted friends. That friend utilized Rick for complex transactions required to settle his mother's affairs. My needs weren't as lengthy but were complex in the sense that it required someone who would be able to craft a legal document I could use to solve a quick problem. Rick was easy to talk to, quick, respectful, resourceful and reasonably priced. — Dee Dee, via Avvo
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Prompt, fast and responsive." Mr. Villarreal was referred to us by our Wealth Management company. My wife and I filled out all the paperwork online from his website on a Sunday and within 30 minutes he called to discuss the details about the Will and Deeds were we needing. He had all of these very important documents finished and to us the same day. On a Sunday. Wow ! He's very professional and fast. If you're requiring Wills and or Estate planning he's the professional you should hire. — Steve, via Avvo
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Above and Beyond Service" I was looking for an online way to transfer a property to my children to avoid probate. Everything I found pointed to creating a trust, and the process felt tedious and overwhelming. After searching multiple sites, I finally came across Mr. Villareal's website, which offered exactly the document I was looking for—something no other site provided—and at a very fair price. My document was completed quickly, and Mr. Villareal even called me personally when I had a question. That level of service truly set him apart. I plan to complete all of our estate planning with him. The best part is that he actually talks to his clients. With other sites, I would never have received the same level of care and outstanding service that I did with Mr. Villareal. — Claudia, via Avvo

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Human to Human is Best" With so much (Ai), or human to human disconnect, speaking initally with Ricky was beyond refreshing. As older to the Earth dealing with whom can we trust was paramount, Ricky was patient, easy to innerstand, and followed thru promptly. To do this review was an easy exercise to digest. With so many lights outside at night it is great to see "5 Stars". Though money was exchanged for a service his follow~thru stands alone. We desired a qwik return due to health reasons and unknowns, Ricky came to our assistance on a Sunday without hesitation, completing our needs the Same Day. Each one stands on their own requirements so different needs, we had an unusual situation with a need, Ricky diligently researched and found the Texas answer so the proper document could be filed. I am a sceptic, and 4 stars I am tough to give, yet. FIVE is just right..!!! — Jim, via Avvo
