Michelle and Jim are awesome and pretty down to earth people. I was rear ended and they helped me find doctors appropriate for my treatment.
During the process they checked up on me frequently always making sure I was doing good still. They were also very informative from beginning to end on my case
Without a doubt I will use them again if I ever find myself in a situation like I was.

Jim and Michelle were excellent to work with throughout my son’s accident, and made sure he got every penny he deserved within three months of taking his case. And there was no out of pocket expense until our case was settled. Would definitely use his law firm again if we ever need it. Highly recommend Jim and his team!!!

James and Michelle were also personable yet still professional throughout the process. If you need respectable, no none-sense and responsive legal representation, I highly recommend Paisley Law, LLC!

Brad McClung is an excellent attorney. He is fair, straight forward, and knowledgable. I highly recommend him for your real estate needs. He kept me informed and told me what to expect each step of the way. I had a rather complicated situation regarding my property which I was trying to sell but my Ex was still residing in the home. I would have not been able to sell had it not been for Brad McClung. His rates are extremely fair. He works hard and efficient and overall is an exceptional attorney. Highly recommended without hesitation!

Attorney McClung is very professional. I contacted him via the web and he replied back instantly. I had previously paid an attorney to represent me in my case and of course because matters were time consuming because of his position as an attorney and politician he tossed me to the side and neglected my case. I contacted Attorney McClung he answered immediately, gave me a response, and a fair price. The price is actually significantly lower than the attorney I hired initially. Not only did he leave me but now my case lingers in the air. Attorney McClung gave awesome advice and was very patient with my questions. Use him if you like to have an honest attorney who's willing to help you! Trying to raise my funds now to retain him I surely don't want to let a good one get away.

Reggie was highly recommended to help me negotiate a personal injury settlement against a major corporation. I found him to be very knowledgeable, assertive, professional and remarkably compassionate. During the negotiation process I was kept fully informed regarding each important occurrence and the significance behind it. I felt comfortable contacting Reggie at any time regarding my case and his competence provided me a sense of empowerment against this corporate giant. In the end Reggie got me twice the amount than was originally offered to me when I attempted to settle the case on my own. I will always be extremely grateful for his help with my case.

I don't write reviews but I feel compelled to do so for Mr. Stovall.
I have always shied away from lawyers due to my belief of cost versus return. Nevertheless, Mr. Stovall not only gave thorough advice, handled the situation, but went above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied with the results.
I have no question who I would come back to for my legal needs. What is more, I believe I will be getting more legal advice for general company matters as well.

I have used Chris in many of my business affairs when he was working for a firm in Arizona. If he did not or could not handle any of my many business legal problems Chris would direct me to a lawyer in the state that could and did help me with my business problems in that state. Chris is a down too earth person and a no bull kind of person. I only wish he were still in Arizona to help me with any future business legal problems that i may encounter. If you are not using Chris you are using the wrong lawyer. I will say that Christopher Reed Stovall has saved me as well as my companies countless dollars and it was a blessing from God that he put Chris in my path in life in this fallen world i which we all live in.

I used Adam for a custody modification 7 years ago. I was naive about the family law process in my initial custody case and lost parental rights due to an incompetent attorney. Adam not only helped me restore those rights, but also got me more than I asked for in the end.
I’m happy to report that my son is thriving with the consistent routine he desperately needed in his formative years, and finally achieved when he started school, thanks to Adam. He is a straight A student, exceptional athlete, and a truly amazing young man. None of this would be possible without Adam’s legal prowess and strong courtroom presence.

I interviewed 3 lawyers prior to deciding to use Adam as my lawyer. I asked for recommendations from people I met who had gone through a divorce and his name came up 3 different times. He did a great job minimizing my expenses and maximizing my settlement. I felt that seeing Adam was as beneficial as a counselor and I felt the knowledge and guidance he gave me was invaluable.

Jeff, took on my case at the shortest notice ever. He had to file a motion and did it a few days before the cut off. He was so dedicated, even when I did not have enough money to pay him. He was also very skilled and smart in negotiating on my behalf. He stuck with me even though he was not making any money from me. I was so scared for my future. May GOD continue to bless and guide him.

With 20 years in business and some legal experience to go along with it it is safe to say I am not a big fan of attorneys in general. However, Kelly Wallace is not your typical attorney and working with him has changed my mind. From the moment I met him I felt like my experience with him would be different. He was extremely attentive, patient, thorough and honestly cared about helping me solve my problems. With Kelly’s experience and insight I was able to navigate through a very difficult situation that had been hanging over my head with no way out for a very long time. I came out far better than I could have ever hoped for and I can safely say that without his help it would not have happened. If you are reading this and are looking for an extremely capable, intelligent, dedicated, attentive and honest attorney AND someone that is definitely worth every penny, you should contact Kelly Wallace.

Our community group unfortunately was burdened with what we believed was an infringement of our intellectual property. We were unfamiliar with how to address the issue and, much to our benefit, were referred to Mr. Wallace.
As soon as we had our first conversation with Mr. Wallace we knew we were in good hands and that we finally had an advocate who would protect our interests. It was quickly evident that Mr. Wallace was not only highly skilled and experienced in this particular area of law, but also that he was a gentleman of integrity and character. We were confident that under his direction our issue would be resolved..
We continue to be most impressed with the compassion he shows us and the personal interest he has taken in our case. We especially appreciate that, in spite of his busy legal practice, he continually communicates with us to keep us informed of new developments or to simply provide status updates. He is tremendously responsive and accessible to us which is a trait more professionals should emulate.
Mr. Wallace has the unique ability to make his clients secure in the knowledge that he will confront potential offenders on their behalf, although in a courteous and cordial fashion, using the power and strength of the law as his armour. We believe the confidence with which he approaches a case helps expedite the resolution.
We would highly recommend Mr. Wallace to others. In fact, it is our opinion that Mr. Wallace models the epitome of legal excellence in knowledge, competence, care and concern.

Like my father always told me "a good attorney and a good CPA should pay for themselves".
This has absolutely been the case with Mr. Kaba and his colleagues at KKG firm. Quick response, FAIR billing, broad areas of expertise is what you should expect. I've used them for personal as well as business matters i.e. real-estate, business and estate planning. So far so good after 4 + yrs. Thank you Mr. Kaba and Mr. Gaynes for a job always well done!

Michael A. O'Neill is an attorney here and did a great job with a tricky deed involving tenants in common, an estate and a power of attorney. All for a very affordable price. He even consulted with me further over the phone twice when I was at the bank and wasn't going to charge me for that, until I insisted. I highly recommend him.

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:
-
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.
