Flower Mound Real Estate Law Firm
Overview
I am attorney Ruth Brock, founder of the Law Office of Ruth Brock in Flower Mound, Texas. In practice since 1977, I have established a respected reputation in the areas of real estate, probate, business law and estate planning. I am board certified in both residential and commercial real estate by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. I am also a member of the College of the State Bar of Texas, an exclusive association that provides twice as much continuing legal education as most attorneys receive.
While I am an experienced litigator, I have discovered that my real passion lies in the transactional field. I enjoy focusing on language refinement for clear and concise documents, as well as educating my clients on their responsibilities under the documents I prepare. From drafting real estate purchase and sales agreements, to reviewing business contracts, to guiding families through the complexities of the probate process, I take pride in offering personalized attention to each client.
I have been honored with multiple awards, including Reader's Choice of Denton County, "First Place/Best Lawyer" in 2001 and 2003, and "Best Lawyer" by Neighbors' Choice Awards in June 2009. I am also Chair of the Real Estate, Probate and Trust Law section of the Denton County Bar Association and a member of the Texas Bar Association and the Flower Mound Bar Association.
I am pleased to serve as a Mentor with the Denton County Bar Association Transitions to Practice Mentoring Project 2012-2013.
From my office in Flower Mound, I handle transactional matters throughout the DFW metroplex, including in Lewisville, Grapevine, Dallas, Fort Worth and beyond.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
