Looking for a RE Lawyer to add to my team

BP Community,

I just got into the flipping business (went under contract with my first one yesterday). I have heard I should have a lawyer ready in the event that anything goes sideways. Could anyone recommend one for the Houston area? I live in California (but will probably move to TX within the year). 

Thank you all in advance!

I started out as an investor before law school.  I moved to Georgetown from Houston about 3 years ago and still have a large part of my practice comes from there.  Getting names and referrals now is good, but we don't become useful until there's a transaction or litigation in play, or by paying for a consult to discuss before it starts.  

A half-hour profilactic before the party gets going can save you hours of hangover.
