Words can't express how much we appreciate everything you did for our family. Chris and EJ were so compassionate and so understanding. The research they did was nothing short of amazing (thank you, Myesha and Sara, too). Very thorough and efficient. They won the medical malpractice suit for our family, and we are so thankful. I would highly recommend this firm!

I’m truly grateful for the hard work and effort and outcome that we achieved, all thanks to the dedication of every member of the Brown and Barron team. (Specially Myesha and EJ) More than that, we deeply appreciate the empathy, warmth, and support extended to my family during this challenging period. Working with them and knowing we had someone we could reach out no matter how small the question we had and get an answers gave us peace of mind. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my family finding answers. Your welcoming and kindness through this process was truly amazing and it made a huge difference.

I’m so glad that I was referred to The Law Offices of Robinson & Associates. When I got into my car accident, I had no idea what to do. Being in an accident is stressful enough but Mel and her team were so informative and helped me every step of the way through this whole process. Words cannot express how appreciative I am of this wonderful group. Thank you so much for being there for my daughters and I!

I am being 100% honest when I say I talked to a few different firms and Lance Garner was the only person that truly made me feel comfortable. He started working on a few details for me before I ever made a payment (very rare for a criminal lawyer) and assured me that if my charges were never filed, I would get 100% of my money back (took over a month to file). He is a very real person, who I think genuinely cared about me. He was extremely professional, but made sure he was very personable throughout my experience. He showed up to court on time and ended up getting me the best result we could. He is a very thrifty thinker. He had a pretty good relationship with the states attorney assistant, which I do not believe my case would have went the way it did without that relationship. All in all, I would recommend Lance to anyone needing legal advice/help in the area. Thanks again Lance!

Charlene Wilson and her are staff very professional. I always feel welcome when going into her office. She really takes her time to explain anything you don’t understand.

If I could give a 10 star rating, I would have! I was recommended to Charlene Wilson by my sister (who advised me that she was the best) and I can truly say she was right on the money!
I live in a different state; therefore, Charlene is not able to represent me; however, she took time out of her day to educate me and provide invaluable options & information that will surely equip me to ask the right questions and make the best decisions when looking to hire an attorney in my state.
Charlene was genuine and caring and her personality is amazing! Made me want to move back to Maryland so that I could retain her services! -- No kidding.
I could go on & on, but I will end with this. If you are looking to retain a lawyer in the MD area, you should 100% go visit Ms. Wilson & team!

A lawyer who doesn’t keep her words.
I used to delivery for this lawyer. Said will tip when handed but not or maybe “lawfully” yes. The security needs to call to confirm to let me in and I ring the door when I arrived. There re sounds but she tends not come to avoid tipping. Considering the hard parking and hard entry, it kind of funny that a LAWYER doesn’t keep her words. All I can say is look out, my friends. She tends to use law to fight for her benefits from everything, maybe it’s from you, her clients, too.
------------------------------------------
First thank you for your time to reply instead of delete my review which actually surprise me and make me want to give you a better star score for you honesty until I saw what you state afterwards.
Second Sorry about your pronoun, I didn't know it. I've changed them to show respect.
Last, the security have to call you first to make sure you have delivery to let me in. So you knew the delivery guy's coming. I knocked/ringed on the door several times before I hit the complete button and then knocked/ringed your door again to see if I could have the chance to get the tip. I couldn't wait longer which I see you a lawyer should understand perfectly. Even though I'm just a delivery guy I can't wait you for more time than I could after all steps I've done.
I understand you want to keep this review for purpose. But NOT BY SLANDER ME.
And everyone, I know my comment won't change your mind, as from her comments, she seems to be a very excellent lawyer in the field she excels in. But I think I still have the right to leave a message, so that everyone can see a comment from another perspective.
P.S. In the future, if you plan to tip other delivery workers, I hope(I simply hope that you would consider giving a tip. After all, not tipping isn't against the law, right?) you'll do so even if we can't deliver directly into your hands for some reason and have to leave the order at your door. Please understand that we're doing our best. It's quite challenging to get close to your office.
More importantly, as a busy lawyer, you probably can't always be available to hear the knock and open the door for every delivery, right? :)

I am satisfied with the way my legal representative presented during the conference with CPS regarding my case of unsubstantiated child maltreatment, I am satisfied with how my divorce case is handled by the legal team, the only issue with this law firm is that it charges a lot of money even before the case goes to court so if i have any questions it will be about billing

I welcome this opportunity to convey by boundless and enthusiastic endorsement of Yosef Kuperman. I do so without reservation.
This endorsement is not casually tendered. It is based on contacts with Yosef regarding an important legal matter.
My impression was that he is profoundly knowledgeable, and he has added new insight to the discussions that I have had with him concerning the law.
For the time I have known him, I have had ample opportunity to evaluate his motivation, ethics and his commitment to excellence. I have evaluated those qualities which I think predict success in the practice of law.
Yosef displays exceptional analytical powers and reasoning ability. He has independence of thought reflecting creativity, imagination and originality. Yosef has excellent communication skills. He has persistence, self-discipline and resourcefulness. Of prime importance is this man’s mature judgement and ethical character.
Yosef possesses the vigor, talent and the intellect in his practice of law. I find him outstanding, charismatic and unique. Yosef is extremely pleasant, impeccably courteous, yet self-assertive and eager to listen and exchange points of view in a calm, reasonable manner, without a hint of ostentatiousness. It is my judgement that this assessment is accurate and that anyone will benefit who retains this kind and considerate lawyer.
To assist your evaluation of his qualities and talents, I have carefully, yet unsuccessfully sought to address Mr. Kuperman’s limitations. After carefully considering this matter, I have concluded that, in the context that I have known him, no limitations exist.
I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this truly exceptional lawyer.

First off let me say if you are looking for an attorney you have found him!
I’ve hired many attorneys in Maryland of the years and NOT ONE can compare to Ian Valkenet. He is honest, straight forward, and the most educated attorney in his field we’ve ever spoken to. Which was over a dozen for this particular case. Most of them even told my husband and I that there was nothing we could do that we were in the wrong. Deep down we knew that couldn’t possible be true. After speaking with Ian it was confirmed. There was something we could do. A lot actually and Ian was knocking them out like Muhammad Ali in the ring.
You don’t get that a lot anymore with attorneys. They tell you things and don’t follow through . Not Ian! If he says he’s doing something it’s done. This man knew our rights and was honest with us. We have been in a lawsuit since Feb 2023. From the day we met Ian for a consultation we knew that this man was who we needed. He knew the law in every aspect you can imagine. It was incredible we were actually looking forward to seeing him in trial. For pure satisfaction of seeing the defendants faces. 😂 This man won without having a trial which saved us money but it would’ve been epic to watch him in this case. If you hire him and get to see him in that courtroom it will be pure satisfaction. Even in our case for motions to dismiss he was incredible. When he speaks you listen he makes you feel safe like you can really sit back and not stress because you know he is protecting you. Because let’s face it anything that involves going to court can be stressful. Everything he told us happened without hesitation. His phone calls were prompt always on time, didn’t send someone else from his office to court. We’ve had that happen on many occasions with other firms. He understands the importance of his clients needs and wants. Breaks everything down for you and ensures you understand step by step. We really appreciated that too. This man isn’t just in law for a paycheck he goes above and beyond for his clients. He is worth every dollar! We would hire him over and over again. Our only regret is that we didn’t find him a year sooner. The end result of our lawsuit was we won everything we asked for and then some. Ian we cannot thank you enough you will alway be on our speed dial. We will refer you over and over again because you deserve it!
When I tell you there was nights I cried over this case before hiring Ian Valkenet I’m not exaggerating. My husband and I felt so helpless in this matter. After many phone calls with attorneys. We thank god we found Young & Valkenet. I don’t typically write reviews but after watching Ian represent us and our amazing outcome I just had to. For anyone feeling the way we felt this is the attorney you want on your side.

Although my options were too limited to proceed, Tom gave me a clear indication of my situation.
A true stand up guy ,I would not hesitate for one minute to hire this law firm.

I can't recommend Laura Simmons highly enough! She recently settled a case on behalf of my family, and throughout the entire process, Laura was nothing short of amazing. She was incredibly kind and patient, always taking the time to ensure we understood each step of the process. Her protective nature made us feel secure, knowing she genuinely had our best interests at heart.
Laura's professionalism and assertiveness were instrumental in achieving a favorable settlement. She took great care of us and handled my daughter's case with the utmost dedication and expertise. If you're in need of a personal injury attorney who truly cares about her clients, l highly recommend Laura!

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.
