An Austin Law Firm That Works for You — Nobody Else
The title company’s job is to close the deal. Your agent’s job is to get you under contract. Neither of them is sitting at that table to protect your legal interests specifically. Our Austin attorneys are.
01
Specialist attorneys in every practice area
You work directly with an attorney who focuses on that specific type of law — not a generalist handling whatever’s on the calendar.
02
Same-day response, without exception
Every new inquiry gets a response the same business day. When you’re up against an option-period deadline, that matters.
03
Flat-fee pricing on most residential work
You know the number before we start. No hourly surprises on standard residential transactions — quoted upfront, every time.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Chris Cummings at The Kelly Legal Group! The whole legal process was fast, he is great at communicating and actually gets things done. I also had the opportunity to meet Karla and Joseph and they were also amazing people. I am so happy and glad we chose to go with Chris as our lawyer because it felt like he prioritized us and really helped us to get the whole process done. I 100% recommend Chris and his team!

Jeff Kelly and his team are truly exceptional. Jeff personally guided me through an unlawful termination case against a former employer — and we won! He and the Kelly Legal Group are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. I highly recommend KLG to anyone in the Austin area seeking top-quality legal representation.

Jeff and his team have worked with us on a couple of cases and legal issues with renters, rental property and most importantly guardianship of our oldest daughter who has a rare condition. Their expertise, knowledge and client services are above and beyond and we will always go to KLG with any future needs. Jeff holds your hand through the process when you need them most!

Things People Ask Before Calling Our Austin Law Firm
Honest answers. Not marketing copy.
Still have questions?
Call our Austin attorneys at (512) 505-0053. We’ll tell you honestly whether you need legal help for your situation — including if you don’t.
What does an Austin law firm handle that a title company doesn't?
Title companies are neutral facilitators — their job is to get the transaction to closing. They can’t give you legal advice, can’t modify contract terms, and can’t represent you if a dispute arises. An Austin law firm like KLG is retained by you and answers only to you. If a lien surfaces post-closing, if a contract clause creates unexpected liability, or if the other party defaults — your attorney can act. A title company cannot.
Do I need an attorney for a real estate transaction in Texas?
Not legally required. A title company can close a clean deal without one. The issue is when something isn’t clean — a lien buried in the title report, contract language that shifts liability post-closing, an HOA disclosure that doesn’t tell the full story. At that point, title companies legally cannot advise you. “Required” and “advisable” are two different bars.
When should I bring in an Austin attorney?
Before the offer goes in, ideally. Once you’re under contract, the option period is the realistic window for renegotiating anything. After that, you’re largely locked in. Early involvement isn’t about adding cost — it’s about having options while they still exist.
How much does it cost to hire an Austin law firm?
Most residential real estate work is flat-fee: contract reviews run $500–1,500 depending on complexity; closing assistance runs $350–750. We quote before we start. Commercial transactions and litigation are hourly ($200–400/hr), and we tell you that upfront with a realistic time estimate before you engage us.
Does KLG handle business and non-real-estate matters?
Yes — our Austin law firm serves clients across five practice areas: real estate, business law, aviation, construction, and wills and estate planning. Each department has attorneys who focus specifically on that area. If your matter crosses multiple areas, we coordinate across practice groups internally.
How fast can your Austin attorneys respond?
Same-day response is guaranteed on every new inquiry. If you’re working against an option-period deadline or another time-sensitive situation, tell us that when you call — we prioritize accordingly. Standard contract reviews are typically completed within 24–48 hours.
