Chelsea is an incredible lawyer-this being my first time working with a lawyer regarding Trust and Estate concerns, Chelsea was very communicative, supportive and gave valuable advice. I am very grateful for the opportunity I had to work with her. You know you are in good hands and a plan driven by your concerns will be followed. Thank you Chelsea!

My siblings and I were unjustly disinherited by our father’s widow and Chelsea did an excellent job of fighting off countless challenges by the widow’s heir to dismiss our case. She is smart, diligent, and—most importantly—straight-talking. I recommend her whole-heartedly.

We were very fortunate to have found Mr. Larry Karandreas to handle our Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I highly recommend him! He is a superb negotiator who is staunchly on your side. Our case was somewhat complicated and we ran into several unexpected snags during the course of our bankruptcy. Mr. Karandreas handled these surprises with professional aplomb. At the outset of our case Mr. Karandreas was able to set aside a large portion of our debt that was held by unsecured creditors that had not contacted us for a number of months. This was very helpful. Mr. Karandreas is clear and concise about what he needs to receive from you. He works to keep his fees as low as possible, but never misses a deadline, always giving you ample notice. He has a Shakespearean sense of humor with which he paints word pictures that leave the judge with no doubt as to the character of predatory lenders. If you choose Mr. Karandreas for your bankruptcy attorney, you will be in good hands. Thank you Larry Karandreas for a job well done!

Jeff Brei quickly grasped our legal issues, recommended a course of action, and proceeded to put that plan into effect. When the other side realized that they were dealing with a firm that had a specialty in real estate, they withdrew their complaint. Case closed.

I highly recommend Jeff Brei and his law office. I hired him when I had problems with the property management company that managed my rental property. He reviewed my case within a few hours, discussed the issues with me and suggested a course of action. When I mentioned that I thought the property manager wasn’t taking me seriously, he contacted the property manager himself and took care of everything immediately. All the problems with the property management company were resolved and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Jeff is the best lawyer in Tucson. His office assistants are very friendly, helpful and respond to questions in record time.

Taylor and the rest of the team at May Potenza Baran & Gillespie were absolutely great to work with! They helped us with the sale of a business and lease negotiations. Throughout the process they listened to what we had to say and provided guidance on matters we were unfamiliar with. We always felt they represented our best interests and they never pushed us to accept terms from the other party we weren't comfortable with. Having them in our corner helped relieve some of the burden of an otherwise very stressful process. They were also quick to jump in at the last minute and take over a matter they hadn't previously been involved with to help get the deals done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are professional, friendly, and well-qualified!

I have been working with Morgan quite a bit over the past year with my business and he has been fantastic. One thing that really distinguishes him from other lawyers that I've dealt with is not only his professionalism and expertise, but his personable manner in which he conducts business with you. He has been great working WITH me and what I needed both from my perspective as well as his perspective and we worked together to put something together that was exactly what I was looking for and needed. Even more importantly, Morgan is fair when it comes to what he actually needs to do for you versus what you don't actually need him for. He isn't just out to bill you for as many hours as he can or add on as many services as he can. He actually will ensure that he treats you fairly for what you actually need. I have come back to Morgan time and time again and for things that were outside of his area of expertise he has some great referrals to be able to connect you with. I have referred him personally to friends who have needed similar help and would gladly continue to send people his way. I know I will have more work to do with Morgan and I look forward to the continued professional service and excellent work that he has performed and I highly recommend him to others looking for a fantastic lawyer to work with!

Morgan Seegmiller assisted me with collecting money damages from a breach of contract. Although I was skeptical at first, he knew all the issues involved in my case and he was right on in his predictions of the outcome. Morgan resolved my whole case without ever having to file a lawsuit. He convinced the other party to pay me what I needed and he kept my legal bill low by working efficiently. I highly recommend trusting Morgan Seegmiller with your legal disputes.

Never really trusted lawyers, and I thought they were all a bunch of double talkers, out for themselves...well that is until I met David. He has worked so closely, and so compassionately with my wife and I to help us through a series of civil litigation problems, that he feels like family. Now I know what my father meant when he would say, “Every family should have a good mechanic, doctor, and lawyer!" Well our family has David, that’s for sure. We know God has blessed us with this man in our lives. If you want a litigator who will listen, truly listen to you, and actually care about you and your outcome, and then will roll up his sleeves and get to working and fighting hard for your case, look no further than David.

I was referred to Boreale Law Office by my divorce attorney. Having never met in person before working together I did not expect to be as cared after, listened to, and so exceptionally guided through my very sticky & personal eviction as I did working with Samit. This already difficult situation was made a lot more difficult by the restrictions of the current Covid 19 guidelines. I was lost, confused and I lacked the knowledge and confidence I could maneuver through this tricky process successfully on my own. I was spoken to with dignity, kindness and respect. I was kept involved and up to speed on my case or communications consistently. I was involved in ideas, informed and educated on all the new restrictions and guidelines in a very professional yet “this is new to us too” way. Handling this the way he did made me feel secure in my decision to work with Samit. He never lacked the confidence that he knew the answer or the willingness to involve other capable minds to help me get the job done. Even when all of the CDC and Covid restrictions being new to everyone involved in the process, I felt nothing but professional confidence that He would find the answers, do the work, and represent myself and my family name exactly as I would have hoped for. I was awarded everything I was asking for in my case and couldn’t be more thrilled! I can say with confidence that I would have had very different results if it not for the talented Mr. Samit Bhalala and the Boreale team!

My wife and I selected Samit from a list of attorneys recommended by Hyatt Legal Services, which we subscribe to. He did not disappoint. Although our trust restatement was unique and somewhat complicated, Samit was fine with it. He scheduled a videoconference (this was early on in the pandemic) and we went through what we were interested in doing and why. After a short time, Samit came back with a set of draft documents for our review. We responded with a list of questions, referencing each question by document/paragraph number. We held a second videoconference to discuss the questions. Samit explained all the legalese with practiced skill and patience so that we understood. We discussed changes we were interested in and we each made a list of changes for him to work on. A second draft soon ensued. This time, since so little was off, we were able to make edits directly to the document. He compared the submitted docs with what he sent us, approved the changes, and we had a final set of document and a restated living trust. We met with Samit and a notary public to execute all the documents. And with that, we could finally relax. Samit was a pleasure to work with. At one point, as our trust desires were complex, I told him that, if what he was getting from Hyatt was not enough, we would gladly add whatever he thought appropriate. He declined, saying that he was being fairly compensated. We were shocked, since the last time we went through this process, our previous lawyer demanded additional payment. We feel this says a lot about Samit's approach - he is our advocate first and foremost. In short, the whole process was painless and the new set of documents are well done. We were not expecting the professionalism, humor, and general likeability in a lawyer. It was an unexpected surprise. We highly recommend Samit Bhalala.

I came to Bob's firm with a unique and difficult probate case that I was hoping wouldn't have to go to arbitration. I was drawn to his firm because of a positive experience in my family, but I was still nervous about who I would choose to represent me. I had a very delicate situation and knew I needed a specific kind of attorney to take on this case with me. I met with Bob for an initial consult, and I immediately knew I wanted to hire him. Bob went above and beyond in my case and made sure that he would get things to end in my favor. I appreciated his honesty and straight forwardness from start to finish; I had expected to have to interpret the real truth in what was being said to me, but Bob always told it like it was - even when I wasn't always thrilled with what he was telling me. His work ethic is admirable and the persistence he showed in my case blew my expectations out of the water. Bob fought for me tooth and nail and still kept everything realistic in our conversations. I truly respect and revere his efforts and performance. While I don't doubt that other lawyers are capable of handling what I was going through, I don't believe I would have found a better match in my case than with Bob. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Bob, for your help in everything.

She worked with us to successfully create a sales agreement and get the transaction closed in a very short period of time. Mae was extremely attentive to our needs and kept us well apprised of what was happening each step of the way. Adding to this is that we (the sellers) were in Illinois and California. It was no issue at all for Mae to work with us remotely to complete the task. Mae was able to make what could have been a very stressful process simple, clear and easy for us.

After an illegal eviction attempt by my apartment complex, my daughter and I needed to just TALK to a lawyer about options moving forward. NO ONE, of a dozen Phoenix attorneys, would even return our calls or emails. This effort began back in October 2018, BEFORE this issue mushroomed in a very disturbing situation. We couldn’t get anyone to LISTEN long enough to retain them for a court hearing. Fortunately, I was able to get the case dismissed myself. But we still wanted the advice of a member of the bar. Ms. Innabi’s office not only LISTENED to me in my initial phone call, she scheduled a free 20 minute phone consult for the next business day. Throughout the weekend, I received confirming emails from her office which enabled me to dial down my stress level which has been overboard since October! Ms. Innabi took time out of her busy day to listen AND recommend a colleague whom specialized in the area of law that I was involved. Her clients are primarily landlords, therefore, under normal circumstances, representing me would be a conflict of interest. My issue is actual civil litigation which is not what she handles. Yet she was kind enough to listen and guide me to the right law office. I would have gladly PAID Ms. Innabi for her free advice. A plethora of other so-called Phoenix lawyers wouldn’t even take my money for a 15 minute consultation! I just hope they keep being “Ballers” for the rest of their career that can turn down FREE MONEY! Ms. Innabi exhibits the rare traits of professionalism and integrity which is sorely lacking among the Phoenix legal community. Thank you to Mae Innabi and her outstanding staff!

My wife and I were referred to Mark by a realtor and originally consulted with him on several occasions over the past several years concerning our rental property. We were considering letting the property go into foreclosure for a number of personal reasons. He gave us clear options for us to make an informed decision on how to proceed. We decided to stop payment on the house and let it go into foreclosure. During this process, we consulted with him again to get some clarity on issues we had with the process and he answered all questions and explained in terms that we understood how to continue. The process has taken over 2 years total, and at the beginning of this year (2017), we were served with papers from the bank that a dispute over the description of the property was in question. At this point, we hired Mark to assist with the legal aspect of the banks filing. In what seemed like a complicated issue, Mark was able to settle the issue with the bank and get us out from under the legal aspect of the case. I found Mark to be very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in our consultations and easy to work with. He exceeded all of our expectations in the final out come of our situation. Thank you Mark for all your assistance in what was a very stressful time.

I hired Mark to collect a debt owed to me. Mark went over my situation, answered my questions and explained the complete process prior to hiring him to be my lawyer. Mark methodically briefed me and kept me fully informed during the whole progression of my lawsuit and case. It was a pleasure working with Mark to resolve my claim against the people that owed money to me on a past due debt. Mark worked with me to recover this debt and worked on a fair settlement with the defendants before the case when to a trial. Unfortunately the defendants were not reasonable and the case had to be resolved by the court. Mark obtained a default judgement for me that included my legal fees and interest on the unpaid debt. I would hire Mark again as he was very straight with me through the entire progression of my case. His entire office staff was polite and pleasant to work with. I consider Mark to have utmost integrity and a being that makes him an excellent attorney. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my lawsuit. My thanks goes to Mark Heckele.

I hired Mark Sippel to handle my brother's probate estate. I am an out-of-state retired attorney myself. Mark was totally efficient, professional, friendly, and responsive to all my needs. It was a very small estate but Mark made himself available whenever we needed him. I would hire him again should the occasion arise and highly recommend him.

We have both been attorneys since 1976. During our careers, we have encountered many attorneys and have hired a fair number. We have never met a more competent attorney than Mike Beethe. He is very professional, intelligent, well-versed in the law, and displays exceptional strategy ideas. If we ever need to hire an attorney in the future, it will certainly be Mike. We recommend him without reservation. Tom and Marilyn Husband

Mike has worked for both my company and me over the past three years. I deal with a lot of attorneys in my business and I have yet to find one as competent and insightful as Mike. His mastery of business law is top notch and his negotiation skills are off the charts. Although I am headquartered out of MN, I continue to use Mike for all of my legal issues. He is extremely responsive and does a great job at looking at the issue from all angles. Mike is truly a great lawyer and I will continue to recommend him whenever I can.

Andrew was very professional and I received a nice settlement for a faulty vehicle wrap that was put on my business mobile unit that the installer claimed was done correctly. Andrew with his due diligence and determination proved beyond a doubt that the installer was at fault and in breech of contract. He kept me well informed through out the whole process of recovering double of what I paid to the installer.

Jim Padish handled my highly contentious divorce and I could not be more grateful to him and his team; Alicia Gallo is top notch. During a difficult time, Jim advocated for me and also taught me a great deal about advocating for myself by the time the divorce was finalized. He has one of the sharpest legal minds around and shows tremendous compassion and patience for his clients. It is rare to find attorney's with both qualities and Jim has them in spades.

I first heard Mat Sorensen do an IRA LLC web presentation on Youtube for a custodian company. I like what he had to say and how he said it, he was very clear and sounded very well informed on the issue. I don’t know why I didn’t just call him right away to see if he would help me form my IRA LLC, maybe because he was not in my state?..Maybe because I thought he would be too busy? to expensive??? I don’t know what my problem was but I called 5 different lawyers all who didn’t seem like they had the same level of expertise Mat did. As my frustration grew so did my courage. I finally figured... what did I have to lose? Just call the guy I heard on Youtube! So I did. WOW! He knocked my socks off even more on the phone. He answered all my hard questions about forming an IRA LLC while living abroad and didn’t need to go on and on trying to impress me with his knowledge like some of the other lawyers. His friendly, clear, concise answers spoke for themselves. After I decided to go with Mat and KKOS I have been unbelievably happy with their level of service. The entire team is sweet, friendly, educated and helpful. They ALL seem like they know me when I call and always treat me with kindness and respect. Mat will even joke with me, a total stranger! He has a great sense of humor and not to busy for a quick reply to say thanks. He is humble, funny and generous. Not at all what I expected to be honest. :) The clarity of his instructions while setting up the IRA LLC was unparalleled. He would send me emails as to what he and his team would do and what I would need to do. Every time I came to a stumbling block I would call the team and instantly they would help me overcome the hurdle. Even when I reached out to Mat he helped me while not making me feel stupid for asking silly questions. Well, I could go on and on but I will not. Suffice it to say Mat and his team are GREAT and I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs to form an IRA LLC regardless of which state you live in.

Steve advised us regarding a neighborhood property use dispute. He is very experienced in these matters and laid out in plain language the options he saw for us. Litigation, as one option, was explained along with the steps, likely financial costs, time frame, and likely conclusion. We decided to not litigate, are very happy with that decision, and it was Steve's professional guidance that made it clear what path to follow. We will call Steve first, the next time we need an attorney.

I was involved in an extremely contentious business lawsuit. Steve was referred to me by my personal attorney due to a conflict of interest. I was under an extreme time constraint to obtain representation. Steve stepped up with little time or preparation and definitely lived up to the reputation he was reported to have. In the end we prevailed and he made the opposing attorney look like a mere amateur. I could not give him a higher recommendation to anyone seeking an experienced litigation attorney!

Mr. Steven H Schwartz was referred to us as someone that could help us with the following case. My wife was involved in an accident that happened January 21, 2019 in which she almost lost her life-she was hit by a drunk driver exceeding eighty miles an hour in the rear end of the car she was driving. Without going into the details of every aspect of this, I would say, we needed the best of legal help we could find, and that's what happened. We contacted Mr. Schwartz and hired him to represent us in any legal matter that would come about as a result of this accident. I am writing this review as of December 27, 2019 - Mr. Schwartz has to this point in time shown us that he is positive, thorough, compassionate, knowledgeable, trustworthy, diligent, intelligent, confident, resourceful, punctual, does what he says he will do, explores every avenue, flexible, highly ethical, and is dedicated to provide the best legal service to our case. Although, this case has not come to an end after eleven months, the end is near, and we can say what a privilege it has been to have had Mr. Schwartz work and represent us. We could not have asked for more. Thanks!

I want to express my overwhelming appreciation for the work ethic and integrity of Mr. Winborne, and his entire firm. First, his office was very responsive to our initial call. We had emails and calls answered within hours, not days or weeks like many others we tried to work with. His retainer was fair, and MUCH lower than others who offered assistance. His legal advice was clear and knowledgeable. And then when the case was resolved in our favor, he actually returned the balance of the retainer! I cannot say enough about how pleased I was with his work.

Rich did a great job representing our financial services organization and I highly recommend him! We retained Rich to initiate proceedings against our insurance company for denying a large claim. As a first step, Rich engaged in discussions with opposing counsel and set forth our position in no-nonsense terms. He substantiated our position with thorough case law citations. As a result, we ended up settling this matter without having to file a complaint, saving our organization the expense and time-consuming process of litigation.

Rich Gramlich, Professional, Experienced and Prepared. "PEP" How can you do better for your client than obtaining a settlement well in excess of what the client expected. Rich did just that. He was cost conscious asking me, if I wanted to pay for a deposition or pass due to costs? I left that chose to Rich who chose yes and I'm glad he did. The deposition appeared to have increased the settlement in mediation quite significantly. Rich was obviously very well prepared for the deposition with a good retention of the facts and issues supporting my claim. I am not an Attorney but my two kids are so I get it. Law is a business so chose a lawyer that's a winner. I did and it provided great results. Great experience. Thank You Mr. Gramlich

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.
