Omar was recommended by 2 different lawyers that I knew from college. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job at explaining our options. After following his recommendations, I was able to get my permanent resident card in less than a year from the time we started working with him. The approval actually took less than 2 months from the time it was sent to USCIS. I have no doubt that he was the right man for the job and I highly recommend him to my friends and family.
Thanks again Omar and team!

Mi experiencia con Omar Salguero empezó en Febrero 2017. Es un abogado que te dice las cosas como son. Ofrece los consejos y soluciones sin maquillar la verdad y de una manera clara y precisa para que se entienda siempre siendo muy profesional, amable y respetuoso en su trato con los clientes. Durante mis procesos (tanto el de residencia como el de la ciudadanía) si yo tenía una duda o preguntas enviaba un correo electrónico o una llamada y en cuestión de menos de 24 horas siempre tuve una respuesta satisfactoria para mis inquietudes. Siempre que fui a la oficina me recibieron muy agradablemente y fui tratada con mucho respeto. Su nombre en aquel momento llegó a mí por recomendación y definitivamente yo lo sigo recomendando para todo asunto migratorio.

Mr. Gil was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. He was always available when I needed to meet with him and he made sure I always understood everything before I left the office building. I would easily go back to him in the future and recommend him to all of my friends.

I came to the Gil Law Group for a recent closing on my house. In the past I've had terrible experiences with firms and dealing with closings and the whole process in general. Luckily, I came across this firm and they have made me realize how easy and smooth this process can be when you know what you're doing! Ed Gil was my lawyer and if there's one person who has helped more in going through the process of a closing, it's him! He was very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a quick responder. Qualities that most lawyers at firms don't always have. Overall, I can tell their real estate department really works hard and well with their clients. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

I worked with Brandon to get a will in place for my husband and I before we left the country. We had a very short time frame before we left and Brandon was able to accommodate our schedules to make sure it was done in time. His knowledge of wills, trusts, etc is unsurpassed. The thing that most stood out to me though was you could tell he genuinely cared about helping us. He spent time asking us questions to figure out what we really wanted. He was also able to explain things in a way that was simple enough for people with no previous knowledge to understand.

Jake and Josh Eckburg are true experts when it comes to real estate law. They handled our home closing with expertise and responsiveness that was unparalleled compared to others lawyers we've worked with the past. They were 2 steps ahead at every milestone of the contract/closing process, and they were always helpful with providing clear and knowledgeable answers when we had questions. We told them they should really be charging more for the value they bring. :) I couldn't recommend them more highly!

I had the opportunity to work with her on criminal. I found her to be very unprofessional, late for court appointments, and she had NO real understand of criminal law. She was quick to make plea bargains with the State Attorney rather than trying to build a case to get her client acquitted. It was all about plea bargaining and money for her. I would never recommend her, her speciality is realty, and unfortunately for me, I didn't do my research on her before hiring. But that's my fault for hiring a lawyer that works through court cases being solicited from DuPage County court records, and this is how potential clients gets her mailing. I got what I paid for...an incompetent lawyer that had no knowledge of criminal law.

I have worked with Anna Wilhelmi Law Offices on many occasions and without a doubt, she is the most honest and aggressive attorney we have ever used. She responds immediately to concerns and keeps us in the loop at all times. We used her to sell our house. All documents were correct, and important dates were met, and we knew what was happening on a daily basis. We used her to do our wills and other legal documents. She explained them to us in detail and helped us to know what documents we needed. She keeps all of our documents up to date. We used Anna Wilhelmi Law Offices in a civil law suit. She was aggressive and looked after our best interests. We won the case! Ms Wilhelmi helped our friend with a criminal case also. She was non-judgemental and won that case also.

Irv Oschenleger & Kris have SO seemingly, easily done their work, it seems I should be paying NOTHING! HA!
In seriousness though, the reasons you hire
an attorney is because you want your worst day to be his/her "Just a regular Tuesday" moment.
Irv has helped my family with all out Family Law needs.
My only "Disclosure," is that despite his looks, Inc is a putbull, viper, evertbit The Shark.

Wade agreed to take a simple credit card fraud case on 4/12/2023 and would provide some preliminary feedback the following week. I hadn't heard from Wade for a while and on 5/2 I asked a simple request for an update with no response. On 5/5 I asked if they were still representing me on this case and similarly, I received no reply. I have no confidence in this attorney and you should not either.

Mr Funkey did not do what I asked/ordered him to do in my divorce case. He made decisions, on my behalf, without consulting me. He did, for instance, not ask me if I wanted to ask the court for continuances instead of going to trial although I told him up front from our first meeting that I needed the divorce finalized immediately, not for the procedure to be dragged out, which, as it turned out, it was.This, of course, benefitted him financially, not me. I gave him information that could and should have been used to my advantage which he chose not to use. Hence, I would not 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.
