Scott Gutierrez
Working with David A. Brooks on our commercial real estate transaction was a professional and reassuring experience. His depth of knowledge in real estate law was evident from our first consultation, and he provided clear, actionable advice that helped us navigate complex contractual terms. David's recognition by Best Lawyers in Real Estate Law is well-deserved, as his attention to detail and strategic insights proved invaluable throughout the process. He was particularly adept at identifying potential risks in our lease agreements and negotiating favorable terms. However, while his expertise is top-tier, I wish he had been more responsive to emails during the final weeks of closing. The delay, though minor, caused some unnecessary stress. That said, David's cost was fair for his level of expertise, and I would recommend him to others for real estate or corporate matters, especially mergers and acquisitions, where his 2025 recognition in that area is a testament to his skill. A slight improvement in communication timeliness would make an already excellent service even better.

I hired David A. Brooks to handle a complex real estate transaction, and while his expertise in real estate law was evident, the process felt rushed at times. He provided clear guidance on property transfer regulations and ensured all legal requirements were met, which was reassuring. However, communication delays and occasional delays in responses made the experience less seamless than I'd hoped. His recognition by Best Lawyers speaks to his competence, but I would have appreciated more proactive updates. Overall, a satisfactory experience, but I'd expect faster responsiveness from a lawyer of his caliber.

David Brooks handled our commercial property lease negotiations effectively, leveraging his recognized expertise in real estate law. His knowledge of Texas property regulations proved invaluable, and he successfully guided us through complex contract terms. However, response times were occasionally slow, and follow-ups required multiple attempts. While the outcome was positive, clearer communication about deadlines and expectations would have made the process smoother. His recognition in corporate law and mergers/acquisitions is well-deserved, and we appreciated his thoroughness in reviewing documents. For future engagements, more proactive updates would elevate his service.
