The Blake Law Firm, PLLC

I’ve been working with James Blake since 2021, and he’s truly been an incredible asset to me and my business. From navigating the complexities of my franchise to handling negotiations and offering solid legal guidance along the way, James has made everything feel manageable. What I appreciate most is how responsive and approachable he is—he always answers calls and emails quickly and never leaves me guessing about next steps. He breaks things down so they actually make sense, and I always feel confident knowing he’s in my corner. If you want an attorney who’s knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely cares about his clients’ success, James is the one I’d recommend every time.

“I’ve never heard of something like this so my office wouldn’t want to take this case, best of luck”… — so because you don’t know something you’re not willing to offer guidance and help, or even spend time learning about it? I would think someone who does this much schooling would enjoy learning. In the consultation he asked no follow up questions or anything. Just cold and stoic. Best of luck to you, too.

Had an amazing experience with James Blake on the topic of Landlord/Tenant law, gave me clear actionable advice over my unique issue. Highly recommend.

James Blake was awesome to work with. He was super patient and really took the time to understand my situation with a possible small claims case. He handled everything smoothly and was able to work out a fair settlement with the other party. He's super professional, but also down to earth and easy to talk to. If you need legal help James is definitely your guy!

I highly recommend James Blake for anyone needing an experienced real estate attorney. He took the time to thoroughly review my unique situation and provided clear, practical advice that helped me navigate the complexities of selling a property. His expertise extends beyond residential transactions—he also offered invaluable guidance on buying a property and equipped to handle a commercial lease negotiation. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and responsive attorney who truly has your best interests at heart, Mr. Blake is the one to call!

James is excellent at advising someone on business acquisitions, due diligence, and the like. I use him as a general business consultant for real estate acquisitions, business growth goals, business liability protection, etc. James is highly professional, calm, rational, and very easy to understand in layman’s terms.

I needed a quick turnaround on a home purchase and required a review of some of the language in the contract. I found Mr. Blake to be incredibly accommodating, professional and detailed. If you are looking for someone that can explain the “why” behind things, then I would highly encourage you to use Blake Law. He was more of a counselor and lawyer combined into one as he not only explained the issue in great detail but also gave me really good alternatives. I’ve worked with other attorneys in the Austin area and my opinion, he is the best one I’ve worked with because of his level of service. I cannot say enough good things about my experience and would encourage anyone who needs help navigating the complex world of real estate to make him your first call.

Terrible response! Wanted him to review a business lease. I simply asked him one time as you would normally do to see if he would give us a discount on his rate which he quoted initially. He could have simply said no or said its a firm price and that would have been the end of it but no he went and said some mean things which I did not like.

I called Blake today and I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have come across his phone number online. I felt so lost and confused for months( actually years) and this gentleman in a short 5-10 minute conversation answered every single question I have ever had about my family’s property in Texas. He was so honest, knowledgeable and didn’t even once mention anything about charging me for the information that he was providing. It’s not everyday that people are willing to help you out and Blake saved my family so much time without expecting anything in return. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Blake!

Excellent attorney. James is my go-to attorney for complicated transactional matters.

VERY HELPFUL I CALLED REGARDING ASSISTANCE IN TERMINATION OF A RESIDENTIAL LEASE FOUR MONTHS EARLY. THE ATTORNEY WAS VERY HONEST. HE SAID HE CANNOT HELP ME IN THIS MATTER AND HE DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE MY MONEY. FURTHERMORE, HE OFFERED SUGGESTIONS. HE SPENT ABOUT 10 MINUTES GOING OVER SCENARIOS.

I called The Blake Law Firm to get a better understanding of what hiring a real estate lawyer would entail if i were to sell my house myself vs getting an agent. The first thing I was told was the negative side of selling myself. Then I was given an opinion of how the market is doing and what the outcome of selling myself vs using an agent would be. The man I spoke to, which I did not get a name, was very honest and gave me much more information than I expected. He also gave the price for her services and the pros i would receive along with the price he charges vs the price an agent charges. I haven't used his services yet but if I do need a lawyer he will be the person I call. Awesome experience. Thanks.
