Ray Thomas Khirallah

A consummate professional with four decades of real estate expertise

After a complex commercial property acquisition in Dallas hit a significant snag with title and zoning issues, our investment group was facing substantial delays and potential financial loss. We engaged Ray Khirallah at Holland & Knight, and his immediate command of the situation was remarkable. Drawing on his 44 years of practice, he navigated the labyrinth of municipal regulations and historical title defects with a calm, strategic approach that immediately instilled confidence. It's clear why he has been consistently recognized in real estate law since 2007; his depth of knowledge is not just academic but profoundly practical. Ray and his team efficiently coordinated with surveyors, title companies, and city planners, crafting solutions that were both legally sound and commercially sensible. His long-standing presence in the Dallas legal community, rooted in his SMU education and career, proved invaluable for facilitating negotiations. The transaction closed successfully, protecting our interests entirely. Ray’s professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to distill complex legal concepts into clear business advice were exceptional. He is the definitive expert you want guiding high-stakes real estate matters.
