Origin & Founder History
Dallas C. Biggers founded the firm as Biggers, Baker, Lloyd & Carver in 1923, building a practice in business, real estate, estate and probate, and general civil law that came to represent clients including General Electric, General Motors Acceptance Corporation, Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, CBS, Cessna Finance Corporation, and the Salvation Army. When Dallas Biggers passed in 1983, his son John C. Biggers — who had served as a Judge Advocate in the U.S. Air Force’s JAG Corps from 1955 to 1958 before joining his father’s practice — became managing partner. Edward “Ted” D. Biggers, a University of Alabama accounting graduate and St. Mary’s University School of Law alumnus, was admitted to the State Bar of Texas in 1988, becoming the third generation of the family to practice law, and now serves as President and Managing Attorney.
Kathryn B. Biggers joined the firm in 2005 after beginning her career as a prosecutor and later an eminent domain litigator at the Dallas City Attorney’s Office. Since 2015 she has served as a Fee Attorney for Alamo Title Company, closing commercial and residential real estate transactions and acting as settlement agent — the specific real estate-closing role that anchors this profile’s practice-area relevance.
Practice Concentration
The firm operates across several practice lines under one roof — estate planning and probate litigation dominate the firm’s broader identity — but its real estate practice, run principally through Kathryn Biggers’s title-closing role, is a distinct, substantial, and independently credentialed line of business, not an incidental add-on. As a Fee Attorney partnered with a national title insurer, the firm closes both commercial and residential transactions and serves as escrow and settlement agent, work that requires title examination, closing-document preparation, and coordination between buyers, sellers, and lenders.
Track Record
No court-verdict or settlement figures apply to this transactional real estate practice, which is closings and title work rather than litigation. The firm’s own materials describe “close your commercial or residential real estate investments with a powerhouse title insurance and escrow closing team” as its positioning statement; Awesome Attorneys treats this as the firm’s own marketing framing rather than an independently verified superlative.
Client Voice
Martindale-Hubbell hosts at least one attributed client review describing an attorney at the firm as “excellent” and “detailed oriented,” though the review does not specify which practice area or attorney. Martindale also notes that peer reviews submitted before 2008 are not displayed for this firm, and that client reviews are otherwise limited. Awesome Attorneys did not locate reviews specific to Kathryn Biggers’s title-closing work individually.
Beyond the Courtroom
The firm’s published history traces its Dallas roots across three generations and more than a century, including Dallas Biggers’s early-20th-century representation of major national corporate clients — an unusually well-documented institutional history for a boutique firm of this size. The firm has also earned recognition in estate planning from the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, though that recognition attaches to the firm’s probate practice rather than its real estate work specifically.
Recognition
Individual attorneys at the firm hold Martindale-Hubbell peer-review ratings, and the firm has received Martindale’s Client Champion recognition tied to the volume and quality of client reviews it has collected. No Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification in Real Estate Law was located for Kathryn Biggers or any other attorney at the firm as of this profile’s research; her real estate credential rests on her title-company Fee Attorney role and prior eminent domain litigation experience rather than a TBLS specialization, and this profile does not use “specialist” language to describe her accordingly.
Texas Legal Backdrop
Real estate closings in Texas involve title examination governed in part by the Texas Insurance Code’s title insurance provisions and the recording requirements of Texas Property Code Chapter 13, which determines how deeds, liens, and other instruments affecting title are made part of the public record. Texas Property Code § 5.008 requires most residential sellers to provide a Seller’s Disclosure Notice describing the property’s condition, a document closing attorneys routinely review for completeness. None of this is legal advice; a buyer or seller with a specific closing question should consult the attorney or title company handling their transaction directly.
Awesome Attorneys Assessment
The Biggers Law Firm’s real estate credibility comes less from courtroom results than from institutional continuity and a specific, verifiable role: Kathryn Biggers’s decade-long position as a Fee Attorney for a national title insurer is a concrete, checkable credential for anyone evaluating a Dallas closing attorney, and her prior eminent domain litigation background at the city attorney’s office adds a dimension most pure title-closing practices lack.
The honest trade-off is that this is fundamentally a multi-practice family firm where real estate closing is one of several lines rather than the singular focus — a buyer looking for a firm that does nothing but complex commercial real estate litigation may find a boutique real estate litigation shop, like some of this category’s other Dallas firms, a better fit. For a straightforward residential or commercial closing handled with an unusually long institutional pedigree behind it, Biggers is a reasonable, well-documented choice.
Methodology & Sourcing
This profile was compiled from the firm’s own website (biggerslawfirm.com), including its detailed firm-history page and attorney biography pages for Edward D. Biggers and Kathryn B. Biggers, along with Martindale-Hubbell, Avvo, FindLaw, and Yellow Pages listings, and State Bar of Texas records. Historical claims about the firm’s founding and early corporate clients are drawn from the firm’s own published history and are attributed as such; Awesome Attorneys did not independently verify 1920s-era client relationships against outside archival sources.
