ORIGIN
A San Antonio Real Estate Attorney With a Rare Dual Certification
Richard D. Weaver earned his J.D. from South Texas College of Law, where he was a member of the Mock Trial Varsity Team and a quarter-finalist and Best Speaker recipient in the Gallagher, Lewis, Downey & Kim Mock Trial Competition. He holds his undergraduate degree from Baylor University. Weaver has been independently confirmed as board certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in both Residential Real Estate Law and Commercial Real Estate Law — two separate certifications requiring separate examinations, a combination Awesome Attorneys has encountered only rarely among the San Antonio attorneys profiled in this directory.
THE MODEL
A Two-City San Antonio and Houston Real Estate Practice
The Weaver Law Firm, founded in 2004, operates offices in both San Antonio and Houston, with the San Antonio office located on IH-10 West. The firm began its practice working with title companies and real estate developers before expanding into complex business litigation and, later, catastrophic injury cases. Weaver leads the firm’s real estate and business litigation work, with colleague Jonathan W. Wu handling shareholder and fiduciary-duty disputes.
PRACTICE
Where This San Antonio Real Estate Attorney Concentrates
Weaver’s real estate practice spans both transactions and litigation: drafting, reviewing, and negotiating commercial and residential purchase and lease agreements; consulting with builders and developers on restrictive real estate situations; and handling real estate disputes through trial and post-judgment proceedings. Title companies, including Fidelity National Title, use the firm to prepare real estate transaction documents — a form of institutional validation distinct from consumer reviews.
TRACK RECORD
What Can — and Cannot — Be Verified
Awesome Attorneys did not have access to an itemized results table with specific verdict or settlement figures for the real estate litigation docket. One reviewer described a complicated financial real estate deal gone bad with a former business partner, which Weaver took to trial and won on the reviewer’s behalf; Awesome Attorneys treats this as the client’s reported account rather than an independently verified outcome.
CLIENT VOICE
A Perfect Avvo Rating, Concentrated at the Houston Office
Weaver holds a 10.0 “Superb” rating on Avvo. The firm’s Houston office carries 21 Yelp reviews; Awesome Attorneys did not locate a comparable independent review volume specific to the San Antonio office, which is disclosed here directly as a genuine data gap for San Antonio clients specifically evaluating the firm. One detailed review described Weaver taking on an HOA dispute and neighbor property-damage case “when no other attorney would assist,” citing his use of the legal doctrine of laches to resolve a dispute over a homeowner’s courtyard fence.
BEYOND THE PRACTICE
Recognized Legal Expertise Beyond Private Practice
Weaver has been engaged as an expert witness by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas — a credential reflecting recognized subject-matter expertise sought out by a government office, distinct from marketing-driven recognition.
RECOGNITION
A Genuinely Verified Dual TBLS Certification
Weaver’s dual board certification in Residential Real Estate Law and Commercial Real Estate Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization was independently confirmed rather than accepted from firm marketing alone. He has also been recognized by Super Lawyers and Texas Monthly. Consistent with this publication’s standing verification policy, “board certified” and “specialist” language is applied here specifically because his TBLS certification was independently corroborated.
THE TEXAS REAL ESTATE LEGAL BACKDROP
What San Antonio Buyers, Sellers, and Investors Should Know
Texas real estate transactions and disputes are governed primarily by the Texas Property Code, with the distinction between residential and commercial transactions carrying meaningfully different disclosure, financing, and dispute-resolution rules — the exact distinction Weaver’s dual certification is designed to cover. Title insurance and closing practices in Texas are additionally regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance. None of this is legal advice; real estate transactions and disputes are consequential and fact-specific enough to warrant review by a licensed attorney.
AWESOME ATTORNEYS ASSESSMENT
A Dual-Certified San Antonio Real Estate Attorney With Strong Individual Reviews
Richard Weaver’s clearest strength is a genuinely rare, independently verified dual TBLS certification spanning both residential and commercial real estate law, paired with a perfect Avvo rating and institutional trust from title companies. The honest limitation is that the firm’s substantial review volume is concentrated at its Houston office rather than its San Antonio location specifically, giving San Antonio clients somewhat less independently sourced local feedback to evaluate. Readers can compare this firm against other San Antonio attorneys in the Awesome Attorneys directory.
This is a firm best suited to clients with real estate matters spanning both residential and commercial contexts, or complex real estate litigation specifically, given Weaver’s dual certification and trial experience.
