Minority Shareholder Rights in a Closely Held Company

Litigation and Real Estate

Before we talk about Real Estate, we need to talk about the Hopkins Centrich litigation philosophy:

When you have a serious legal issue that seems destined for a lawsuit, there is one thing you need to hear from your attorneys: “We will tell you the truth even if it’s unpleasant.”

That’s hard for a lot of lawyers to do because the last thing a client wants to hear is, “You don’t have a case,” “It’s time to pull the plug and walk away,” or “It’s not worth the expense just to prove you’re right.”

You need to know because you need to do whatever is best for your business. And to do that you need straight facts.

Hopkins Centrich PLLC gives you the facts . . . along with cutting edge, high quality, creative legal solutions to businesses in The Woodlands and beyond.
