Gravely

What Gravely does

Gravely PC is a Texas-based boutique law firm founded by Marc Gravely in 2019, headquartered in Frisco with offices serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and San Antonio. The firm provides legal services in two primary areas: construction defect litigation (representing commercial property owners, HOAs, condo boards, school districts, hospitals, and retirement communities against developers, contractors, and design professionals) and insurance recovery (policyside coverage disputes and bad faith claims against insurance carriers). The firm also offers business litigation and an appellate practice, and has argued cases before the Texas Supreme Court, including the precedent-setting TopDog Properties v. GuideOne bad faith decision.

Gravely operates under a contingency-fee revenue model in which clients pay no fees if the firm does not win, supported by a proprietary pre-suit resolution process and a no-cost case evaluation service. This structure aligns the firm's compensation with case outcomes and lowers the barrier to engagement for institutional property owners facing potentially large repair or claim-denial losses. Acquisition is driven primarily by educational content (the #1 Amazon-bestselling book 'Reframing America's Infrastructure,' vertical-specific eGuides for hospitals and retirement communities, and a how-to video series for Texas HOAs and administrators) and by sustained external recognition through Chambers USA, Best Lawyers in America, and Texas Super Lawyers.

Gravely has 11 attorneys and legal professionals across its Texas offices, including four individual attorneys ranked by Best Lawyers in America (Marc Gravely, Michael Gavito, William Baine, Jonathan Lisenby). The firm is privately held and founder-controlled, with Marc Gravely as majority owner and managing partner; it does not disclose revenue and has no institutional investors, M&A activity, or funding rounds on record. Customer concentration centers on Texas institutional property owners and public-sector entities, with the firm building repeatable vertical playbooks (hospitals, K-12, retirement, HOAs, metal-roof commercial property) for both legal representation and educational content marketing.
