Working with Sanchez and Brown was an incredible experience. Both attorneys were so quick to help answer questions about my case while being so kind and understanding. Going through a traumatic experience with a car accident was no easy task however attorney Brown was very patient with me and understanding. My case was settled in a timely manner and I am so happy to have a resolution. Thank you to both attorneys, Marisol and Morgan for all of the help throughout this process. I will absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone I know. 🙂

I hired Kim to seek justice from professional thieves. Kim firm is the best and most honest law firm in the industry. Kim is the smartest and most thorough attorney that I have ever met. I am finally finding justice for what they have taken from me. The defendant tried every trick to evade taking responsibility and Kim stopped them every time. She plays judicial chess making defendants into checker players. Thank you Kim for giving me back my life!!!

To anyone looking for a great real estate attorney in the Orlando area, look no further. Name is Sarah Gulati and she’s simply the best ! We had the opportunity to work with Sarah recently on a deal that went wrong near the closing stage. We were extremely stressed and were at risk of losing a VERY large deposit. Time was of the essence and we needed someone who would move quick on our behalf. Sarah was quick to assess the situation and jumped on actions that needed to be taken to get us out of a deep mess. She was super quick to respond to all our messages and got us cleared within a couple days. We would recommend Sarah's services to anyone dealing with contract conflicts or interested in having their real estate contracts done in a thorough and the most professional manner. She is the best at what she does!!

I retained attorney Amy R. Steiner during the purchase of my first home. Those of you that have purchased your first home know that this can be an extremely aggravating and stressful process. I did not experience either of these emotions due to Amy’s expertise as a lawyer, communication skills, technical skills and attention to detail allowed me time to finish packing and verify that my utilities were ready for me to move in. My family and I continue to employ Amy R. Steiner as our legal counsel as well as highly recommend Amy for any of your legal requirements.

Jonathan and Sam are attorneys that stand shoulder to shoulder with their clients and have empathy with their clients as they did with me. I have had over the past 40 years at least 9-10 attorneys, on a variety of matters and have never found an attorney to be as compassionate and caring as well as extremely competent. Jonathan and Sam have represented me on several matters in the past and I found them to be extremely competent in their advise and representation. When I had questions their expertise, their referral I found to be extremely competent but lacked the element that sets Jonathan and Sam apart, that or empathy, and truly caring about their client.

The customer service from the initial call all the way through resolution was top tier. I recieved a lawsuit (wont get into the details, but be leary of debt loans/consolidation companies). I was reluctant to even fight the suit because it seemed like it would be more stress added, but my first communication with the debtor left me feeling powerless. I called Bryan at Power Law Firm, and he assured me he would take on all of the legwork, and he did. Fast forward 34 days, my debt was settled for 20% of the original amount and the terms of the settlement left me in awe. The reviews are real!!

This has been a long journey and I am forever grateful to both of you as a team. This case is a navigation of rough waters and it takes great lawyers like you (2) to stand up for injustice with the legal system. Although war and pain might still be standing, but for the first time I feel like I am standing on a level playing field. What a wonderful feeling of relief to have two great super wonderful Attorney, I acknowledge you both!

Joe Lenti was in charge of our Title transaction on the purchase of our new home. From the very start of the process we did not have a good experience. Our mortgage lender contacted his office office for two plus weeks without receiving a response. Throughout the process Joe felt it was better to argue about how he was right, rather than how to close the transaction on time and without additional cost to us. Our closing was delayed and cost me an additional $700. I expressed my frustration to Joe and asked to be compensated for the delay and additional cost we incurred due to his mistakes, but he refused and told me to go elsewhere if I was unhappy. Unfortunately we were in a rock and a hard place needing to close on the home before we lost our deposit and interest rate lock. I am very disappointed with Joe’s service and unprofessional behavior.

I recently had the displeasure to do business with this "firm." Expecting to do business with a professtional legal office, I instead encountered something more akin to a family run boiler room. Not only was this office extremely unprofessional, but they over billed me for the privelege of doing business with them. In return I received little to no communication, time delays from their end, and demands that I return documents with as little as 3 hours notice. When I decided I could not complete my project at their current snail's pace, I had little choice but to travel a great distance and attempt to do business face-to-face. Unfortunately, I was to be yet further disappointed when, upon my arrival, I found this "professional office" to be locked and closed on a weekday afternoon. In addition, I requested routine documents from their office, both via email and telephone, and ultimately had to retrieve them from their client personally. Perhaps their reluctance in providing me with said documents was because they clearly showed their excessive fees charged to me, easily double the industry standards. On the rare occassion I was able to reach a live person on the phone to voice this concern, I was greated with arrogance, distain, and a complete unwillingness to cooporate. If you are considering doing business with this firm, I urge you to reconsider. You will save yourself time, money, and headaches.

Perfect line for this attorney is that he is Robber who extorts money by using his law degree. He is one of the attorney who thinks it’s OK to charge $1500 for 4-5 emails that were exchanged because the crooked HOA he worked as an attorney for refused to take care of any issues and only way to resolve was to get in touch with the attorney and violation was for something that does not even state in CCR’s and he feels totally OK about cheating and never sending any invoices after many requests. Karma has a way to come back to bite you and it will.

She gave wrong advise, that too outside her field of expertise. I merely went for consultation, did not sign any retainer, and she still tried to manipulate my file (without my permission), so that I would have no option but to go back to her. Its like you go to a heart doctor, who is not qualified to operate on your kidney, but regardless starts operating on your kidney, without your permission. Highly unprofessional. In fact, I am thinking about reporting her to the bar, so she could not continue such behavior with other innocent clients.

What a Real Estate Lawyer Can Do for You

A real estate lawyer provides legal assistance in transactions and disputes involving property, including residential and commercial real estate. Whether you're buying, selling, leasing, or developing property, a real estate attorney can help ensure that your transactions are legally sound and your rights are protected. They review contracts, perform due diligence, resolve disputes, and provide legal representation in negotiations and litigation involving property matters.

Real estate lawyers are crucial in safeguarding your investment by ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal real estate laws, as well as protecting you from potential legal pitfalls related to property ownership and transactions.

When Should I Hire a Real Estate Lawyer?

Hiring a real estate lawyer is beneficial in various scenarios, including:

  • Buying or selling property: When navigating complex real estate contracts, it’s advisable to have a lawyer review and ensure that the terms are favorable and legal.
  • Commercial property transactions: For leasing, purchasing, or selling commercial properties, a lawyer can help manage the intricate legal aspects of such transactions.
  • Zoning or land use issues: If you're planning to develop property or change its use, a real estate lawyer can guide you through zoning laws and land use regulations.
  • Resolving property disputes: For boundary disputes, title issues, or disagreements over property rights, a lawyer can help mediate or litigate the matter.
  • Foreclosures or evictions: If you're dealing with foreclosure or managing a tenant eviction, legal representation ensures that the process adheres to local laws and protects your interests.
  • Title and deed issues: Lawyers can help clear title disputes, ensure the legitimacy of property deeds, and handle transfers of ownership.

What Does a Real Estate Lawyer Do?

A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:

  • Contract drafting and review: Ensuring that purchase agreements, leases, and other contracts are legally binding, fair, and protect your interests.
  • Title search and clearance: Conducting a thorough title search to ensure that the property has no legal claims or liens that could affect ownership.
  • Facilitate closing: Managing the closing process in real estate transactions, including reviewing final documents and ensuring that everything is in order before the transfer of ownership.
  • Resolve disputes: Handling legal disputes related to property ownership, boundaries, zoning, or tenants.
  • Assist in financing: Reviewing loan agreements and mortgage documents to ensure the terms are fair and legally sound.
  • Zoning and land use advice: Guiding clients through the complexities of zoning laws and building regulations for property development or renovation projects.

How Are Real Estate Lawyers Paid?

Real estate lawyers typically charge for their services in the following ways:

  • Flat fee: Many real estate transactions, such as reviewing a sales contract or assisting with a closing, are charged on a flat-fee basis.
  • Hourly rates: If a lawyer is handling complex disputes or litigation, they may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary significantly based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Contingency fees: In rare cases, such as property disputes or claims for damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle the case.
  • Retainer: For ongoing legal support, some clients may pay a retainer, which is an upfront fee used as a deposit for future legal services.

It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

How Much Does a Real Estate Lawyer Cost?

The cost of a real estate lawyer varies based on the complexity of the matter, the location of the property, and the lawyer’s experience. Key factors that affect pricing include:

  • Type of transaction or issue: Simple tasks, like contract reviews, typically cost less than handling a complex property dispute or litigation.
  • Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.
  • Billing structure: Lawyers may charge a flat fee for basic services like document review or hourly for more time-intensive work such as disputes or litigation.

Flat fees for straightforward services like closing assistance may range from $500 to $1,500.

Hourly rates can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on the attorney’s experience and location.

Always discuss fees upfront to understand the overall cost of the legal service you're receiving.

Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer

Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:

  1. What experience do you have with real estate law?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for services - whether it's a flat fee, hourly rate, or retainer - so there are no surprises later on.
  3. How long will the process take?
    Especially important for real estate transactions or disputes with deadlines, ask for a general estimate of how long the process will last.
  4. Have you handled cases similar to mine?
    Experience with similar transactions or disputes can give you confidence that the lawyer knows how to handle your case.
  5. Will you handle my case personally, or will it be passed to another attorney?
    Confirm who will be handling the bulk of your case work, especially in larger firms where junior lawyers may take on some responsibilities.
  6. Can you provide references?
    Speaking with past clients can give you insight into the lawyer's experience and how they handle cases.

How to Check the Credibility of a Real Estate Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable real estate lawyer, take these steps:

  • Check with the state bar association: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no disciplinary actions on their record.
  • Read online reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on legal directories and platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have past clients willing to share their experiences.
  • Review their track record and expertise: Look at the lawyer’s website or LinkedIn profile for information about their experience in real estate law and any relevant cases they’ve handled.
  • Membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of respected legal or real estate organizations, like the American Bar Association’s Real Property Division, often signal credibility and expertise.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make your first meeting with a real estate lawyer productive, you should prepare the following materials:

  • Relevant property documents: Bring purchase agreements, lease contracts, mortgage documents, zoning permits, or any other paperwork related to your case.
  • A summary of the issue or transaction: Be ready to explain the situation, whether it's a property dispute, contract negotiation, or development issue.
  • Questions about the legal process: Prepare a list of questions about how the lawyer will handle your case and what steps are involved.
  • Financial documents or loan agreements: If the case involves financing or a mortgage, bring any related documents for the lawyer to review.
  • Your goals and timeline: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, and if there are any deadlines that need to be considered, such as closing dates or legal filings.

By coming prepared, you can ensure that your consultation is efficient and informative, allowing you to assess whether the lawyer is the right fit for your real estate needs.
