I know there's not a ton of reviews here but wanted to leave a genuine review of my experience. Mr Torgoley, I am leaving this as a direct message to you and say I am profoundly grateful for what you have done. You have been personable handling every aspect, and ensuring that I was informed the whole time. Not only did I feel like I was talking to a lawyer but a mentor and a friend. Thank you so much for all your advice and relieving some of the stress I've been going through. Thank you for being an exceptional lawyer that I can always rely on and reach out to. I would highly recommend you to everyone!

I recently had the unfortunate need for legal assistance, but am so grateful for Shah Torgoley and his help navigating through what could have been a far more difficult process without him. He is incredibly attentive to your specific concerns and incredibly detail oriented. He helped me get everything sorted out very quickly and I am indebted. This firm is amazing!

Andrew Pacheco does an outstanding job representing myself, and my business. He took time to learn me, and what was needed to proceed in saving a decades long business. Everyone in the office is polite, and extremely helpful. I felt very comfortable with the competence of Mr. Pacheco and his staff. He was truly a life saver. I'm very grateful.

Very pleasant experience. They had a great perspective with our situation as a landlord with a less than honest management company. We would recommend this group to family/friends.

Sends post cards blatantly advertising a felony charge. Extremely unprofessional and a pathetic attempt to draw in business. Would rate a 0 if possible.

Mimi and her team did an excellent job! Instead of getting a broker to sell my business I went through the Udall team. They spent quality time and discuss all the relative information needed to complete the transaction quickly and proficiently. They were always on top of all the paperwork and procedures and keep me informed throughout the process. It cost less to go through them and have this done than going to a broker. I highly recommend Mimi and the Udall team for all your business needs!

Mary and her team have always been nothing short of world-class. Before finding them, my house was at risk of being force sold because of a jealous and stubborn ex. Not only did Mary ensure I was able to keep my home, afterwards she has been a trusted expert when the crazy ex does bubble back up sometimes. 10 of 10, would use again!

My wife and I recently used Adrian Betts to establish estate plans. With two young children we had many decisions to make regarding the intricacies of creating a structure for them if the unthinkable happens before they come of age. Adrian did a wonderful job of helping us navigate each decision with clear examples and explanations that made the entire process much easier than we had anticipated. His knowledge within the estate planning arena is extensive, and we were very happy we worked with him. We highly recommend Adrian for estate planning, you will be please with your decision.

Mr. Cullum was very knowledgable, efficient, and affordable for the trust/will and Power of Attorney papers I had him create for my mother. He was very accommodating to my mother's wishes and put her best interests first. His integrity and genuine moral compass are set right! I will be using him for my own affairs in near future. He is also such a sweet man, to boot.

After researching and speaking with aver 25 attorneys regarding misrepresented disclosures in a real estate case and I found Kyle to be EXTREMELY knowledgeable about every aspect of our case. He is a skilled negotiator and provided constant and informative updates as our case progressed. He always made himself available to answer questions and provide advice. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kyle and I&G!

We were very pleased with the results that Kyle Israel was able to get for us in compensation for the personal injury that my wife suffered. If it were not for his skill and experience, I know that we would not have been so fortunate. We live in California but since the injury occurred in Arizona we needed an attorney that practiced there.Our local attorney recommended Kyle and we are very thankful that she did. You would think that it would be difficult being in a different state, but he and his staff made it very easy. We were kept up to date as to how the case was progressing and they were quick to answer any questions or concerns that we might have. Kyle is the best man to have on your side if the need arises.

I would like to give a brief recommendation if anyone has a need to look for and hire an attorney.
Professional is the key word and during the deposition i first saw his skills shine through and I was happy he was on my side. He clearly understood the case as he asked pointed questions that seamed to clearly, identify or expose the other sides issue's. He stayed on point and made sure he got the answer he was looking for. When i was asked questions he made sure he objected when it was in question and it showed he was following the case and new the issue's. After this was completed I thanked him no matter which way the case goes because i could see he represented me well and i was pleased to have the best chance to win.
Once our case was heard I again witnessed this same clear questioning to the opposing side and I felt good with the direction the case went. YES a week later we won so Im happy but like I said before I was pleased way before I knew the outcome. Don

I am incredibly grateful for Philippe Martinet’s guidance and support. He was more than just a lawyer—he was a steady source of reassurance throughout the entire process.
From the very beginning, Philippe demonstrated exceptional patience, always taking the time to answer my questions thoroughly, no matter how many times I asked. Whether it was a brief call or an in-depth discussion, he was always available to ensure I fully understood every aspect of my case.
What truly impressed both me and my family was Philippe’s honesty and integrity. We felt confident that we were in the best possible hands. He was straightforward, dependable, and unwavering in his commitment to achieving the best outcome for me. His honesty, coupled with his genuine care for his clients, made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Philippe Martinet—not only as an outstanding lawyer but also as a truly good person who went above and beyond for us. Thank you

Ben is so empathetic and helpful. He works with his clients to get the best results, including me. He brings a sense of calm in chaotic situations. The only people that don’t like him are usually his adversaries. They like to leave nasty reviews.

Ben is a decent lawyer for simple disputes. For complex cases I would highly recommend finding an experienced attorney who is more qualified. Ben’s wife is a local dentist. He likes to call and intimidate patients that do not have a good experience at her office.

Scott Williams has represented me in several real estate related matters and he is amazing. He knows the law so well that I pity any one he goes against. He also has a mild manner in stating his well presented facts to the court. He is brilliant and charming. His fees are far less than he deserves. I have nothing but praise for this amazing attorney.

Scott knows his real estate law but I found it very frustrating that the communication was weak. After the first hearing which we were told that he would let us know the results immediately after he was out of the court ... we had to call multiple times (5 to 7 times) including calling mid day just to be told he was out to lunch...we would have appreciated if he had taken two minutes to let us know the results so we could have had more time during the day to prepare for the trial. I am a "communication" type person so the lack of direct communication from Scott and his not explaining the process in detail and waiting till the last minute at the trial proceeding to tell us what could happen left us at a disadvantage. We had given him all the documents he needed to win and he would have won but he said it was better to settle. However, he was also dealing with a very unethical tenant who was lying and his equally unethical and lying attorney. Scott on the other hand is ethical and honest so I would recommend using him. Despite these issues we were satisfied with the end result.

Scott seems to be doing a good job against a very unethical tenant who lies and although he has broken the lease terms fat Tim refuses to move. Makes me not want to rent ever again but I know good people are out there and I just got a rotten apple. Combine this tenant with his lying daughter and I am just hoping that Scott will be able to expose the fact that they are dishonest people and the truth will prevail in court.
Stay tune and I hope to report that Scott won!

Seems like a reputable law firm with good reviews, however the staff hired is a direct reflection of the company, and their current front desk receptionist Kayla Bates came to my place over the weekend in my parking lot smoking weed and threatening to fight me and asking me if I want to come downstairs and get beat up over a man. A woman she knows is pregnant. What type of professionalism is that? I called and spoke to the executive team Holly and Tammy and was assured they would address the issue with said staff.

Unethical and inappropriate behavior. My time was completely wasted with an attorney who knew nothing about what he was hired for and after hiring him, he completely changed, I thought he was representing the people we were going after, I couldn't tell. When addressing it with his managing attorney, he was distasteful as well. I'm glad its over.

Rick was my parents’ (my mom and stepdad) lawyer and created their estate plans in the mid90s. They made sure to introduce me to Rick back then, as they planned to have me be one of their trustees when needed. When the time came and each had died, I became very active in settling their estates. Rick and the estate plans he developed, were pivotal in working out their wishes. I know for certain that had their wishes not been written down, it would have been a mess to sort through. I’ll forever be grateful to Rick and his efforts.

Will not respond in a timely manner if at all. Tries to add on time so he gets paid more. Something that should’ve taken a few days has now become months of waiting because of his lack of response. Do not use him unless you want to pay more and wait an eternity.

Zero stars would be better. William Oleary What a money, sucking, scumbag. He had me and my wife jump through all these hoops, get all this paperwork, and pay all this money, because of an issue with Yavapai county land development. Less than one month before we’re supposed to go to court with the county, he decides he Doesn’t wanna represent us because he doesn’t have enough time. Took our money, wasted our time, now I have to try to find another attorney to pick up the case involving Yavapai county less than 30 days for court. 🖕🏼 🖕🏼🖕🏼

I hired Ann after I was in a car accident. She was so professional, knowledgeable and true advocate. As a working mom I didn't have the time nor the energy to navigate the process with insurance claims, bills, etc. She handled everything and went out of her way to check in, give me updates and inquire how I was physically doing. She advocated to get all my medicals paid by the insurance company of the at fault driver and got me a settlement I feel I would have not received without her. I highly recommend her!

Kevin R. Harper represented me in a HOA foreclosure and helped put closer to the foreclosure.
Thank you, Mr. Harper, for that. Yet, throughout the duration of my case, I was very unsettled.
For someone seeking a payoff amount to settle the HOA debt I had, why did it take almost 2 months?
I got charged for him speaking with the opposing counsel 9 individual days and 13 days for me.
Any job I have ever had, if I took that long to execute that task, I would have been terminated.
What stressed me out the most, was Mr. Harper not supplying an answer to the courts.
An answer is an acknowledgement that I am aware of the court case and intend on participating.
The court website stresses the importance and so did several videos of lawyers handling these cases.
If an answer isn’t supplied by a given date, the case enters a default ruling against me.
While Mr. Harper was working my case, I contacted the courts to learn what that due date was.
I was told of the date. Also, that no answer was submitted, nor was a lawyer assigned to my case.
Mr. Harper informed me no answer needs to be supplied because opposing counsel and himself agreed to an extension, pushing out the date for the answer.
I asked about the court’s involvement of knowing. He stated they did not need to be informed.
So, the courts don’t know I have counsel assigned, nor an extension?
I would imagine the courts will react when that original due date arrives.
If only Mr. Harper was empathetic, then he might have reacted appropriately to my stressing out.
First off, HOA’s by law can rob you of your home with a mere HOA debt of $1200.00.
Couple that with the housing values doubling, and you have the makings of a scam.
You begin to wonder if your counsel doesn’t flub your case to take a cut when your home is sold.
My home is on the line here and everything appears sketchy.
However, many times I wrote emails addressing my concerns, he spent more time questioning why I didn’t sit back and take his advice, than to furnish me adequate documentation supporting his claims.
Mr. Harper eventually got me the pay off amount, on a Friday before the due date on Monday.
I immediately responded willing to pay that total bill today, before the due date arrives.
Mr. Harper knew how stressed I was about the due date, so why did he not contact me back until Tuesday, the day after the due date?
Not only did he position me to go out of my mind over the weekend and the due date day, but proceeded now to finally submit an answer.
He had been telling me the answer will come with considerable cost and he was saving me from the excessive bill.
Why then submit an answer after the due date, that wasn’t going to do me any good?
I should have trusted the negative reviews of Mr. Harper.
One stating it appeared he was working for the other side, not responding with answers, and another that he lacked empathy.
Although his reviews have significant positives, I felt the same anguish from each of the negative reviews.
Further example of concern, he responds back to the negative reviews, initializing the same blanket statement.
Five stars for closing out my case. Deducting 3 stars for the stress, dragging it out, and excessive cost.
I wish Mr. Harper success in his life and to eventually feel compassionate about people’s situation and not take advantage it to over stuff his wallet.

I hired Kevin to represent me in a very elongated situation, whereby, I was divorced but I was a joint tenancy owner with rights of survivorship on my house. Needless to say, there was a battle between my ex and I regarding the sale of the house. There was not much in terms of case law regarding joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, however through Kevin’s diligence and persistence, we won my case. I would highly recommend hiring Kevin. He was very professional and kept me abreast of each facet on my case. Kudos, Kevin for a job well done.

I had a realtor try to sue me for a commission that she thought was due to her. I own a few commercial properties and Linda’s loser lawyer tried to become a pain in my ass so I would just pay them to go away . But Kevin kicked there Ass ! I know there is never a guaranteed out come with what you hear on the news about law suits but I was willing to fight it out of principle . We offered this realtor 17,000 dollars to go hide under a rock . And she refused the money and lost on a Summary judgement . And had to pay me $25,000k . Kevin filed the judgment with the county and couple years later she couldn’t sell her house without paying me . There are times I would call Kevin on other matters and he would tell me I shouldn’t sue because I signed the contract even though I thought I was right . So I didn’t . He could have said yeah sue them and take my retainer but he didn’t .

I hired Ian Quinn to represent me in a contract dispute regarding a residential solar system. He sounded pro-active and appeared able to represent me. He filed my case in the Arizona Superior Court on 4/26/2022. I provided all the information (contract and supporting information) he requested within 2-3 days. I requested status updates (every 1-2 months), both to determine how it was going and to see if anything else was needed. I met with Ian in November 2023 asking for an update - he said everything was moving along. I asked for another update in February 2024, actually scheduled an meeting with Ian for 2/27/2024. Ian never showed up. I left several voice and email messages requesting a status update - he never responded. I checked the Arizona Superior Court case information on 3/27/2024 - it showed the case was dismissed due to Ian Quinn not meeting document filing deadlines.
I would not recommend Ian Quinn for any legal issues.

I have used Ian’s services a couple times over the past 10 years and he’s been wonderful to work with. He’s honest and very knowledgeable. He always puts his best foot forward and has his clients best interest at heart. I’ve worked with several attorneys over the years for different things who have left me anxious and feeling drained. Ian is not that lawyer. He knows how to get the job done and set the right expectations. I highly recommend Ian!

I had an outstanding experience with Mark.
Unfortunately, I did not get the opportunity to hire him for my case because I needed someone out of state to represent me - but despite him knowing that, it did not stop him from helping me. I expected the consult to end right after that, but he went above and beyond! He took the time to listen to my concerns/ case facts and answered my questions in a clear and CARING manner. I was overwhelmed and emotional because of my situation, and he handled the conversation proactively. I genuinely felt heard and supported. Hiring any professional can be a challenge because it has to be a good fit. It can either go REALLY really well or go REALLY really bad. You can usually tell how it will go after the first interaction. (People will forget what you tell them, but they will remember how you made them feel...) Even after getting unfavorable news, he left me feeling hopeful and determined.
I can tell this attorney is a true advocate for their clients. Def recommend!

When Should I Hire a Real Estate Lawyer?

- 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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
