Mr. Grossman is a man of integrity. He cares for the needs of the client and what is best for the client. Everything that had to be done in our case was done in an EXCELLENT manner. Should you ever need a bankruptcy attorney, visit his office at Fraley & Fraley in Sacramento. Throughout this bankruptcy ordeal, the one good thing that came out of it was meeting him and the entire staff at Fraley & Fraley. Unlike other attorneys, they truly care about their clients
I WOULD RECOMMEND ANDREW GROSSMAN & STAFF AT FRALEY & FRALEY TO ANYONE NEEDING AN ATTORNEY
(A previous attorney had mis-handled our case so badly. The office of Fraley & Fraley was a God-send, that cleaned up the mess)

My husband and I were sick about having to file bankruptcy,but we had really run out of options. We called Fraley and Fraley and met with attorney Andrew Grossman. He listened and was very helpful.

I went through a foreclosure this year and the holder of the 2nd mortgage is trying to collect. Andrew Grossman was extremely knowledgeable about my case he gave me free advice. He printed out forms for both my taxes and for my legal case. He recommended against bankruptcy and spelled out clearly why the mortgager had no real case against me. Free advice and no pressure for him to take my case. He was honest, knowledgeable and helpful. He deserves a perfect score and i would recommend him to anyone.

David is an extraordinary Attorney with a good heart. Once he takes on your case, he will be 100% devoted and works on it as it is his own. Before I went to David, I went to other different Attorneys, they either told me that my case is very complicated or the outcome will be unfavorable. Finally once we went to David, my case was successfully resolved as he reassured us. I got my green card within 8 months without any problems. Everything happened so smoothly and efficiently. Without David's full support, diligent work and endless efforts my case will still be unresolved.I am so grateful that we hired him as our Attorney, we saved money and time, but most importantly he resolve the problem. I highly recommend David.

David was very professional and courteous in handling my deportation case. He took necessary actions timely to prevent any arrest during my I-130 interview. I was so nervous but he assured me that all would be well. And so I finally received my I-130 approval and am proceeding with next steps. I realized that he does much more than he is paid for. And I've been burnt before by attorneys who only got my money but did nothing for me. He explained what went wrong with my prior effort with past attorneys. Don't be deceived by appearances, people. Not all attorneys will do what you expect them to do. I highly recommend David to anyone struggling with immigration issues.

Mr. Cohen represented me in a contentious family matter. He was realistic about what he could do to help and was straightforward about his fee schedule. His assistance brought my case to a favorable resolution. I had other lawyers previously who did the bare minimum;
they were available only at the courthouse. Mr. Cohen was readily available to answer my questions and met with me when I needed a face to face. I would recommend his services to anyone needing a serious attorney.

Mr. Cohen represented me during my divorce proceedings 1999-2000. It was one of the most trying times of my life but his honesty, his candor and his strong advocacy made it possible for me to get through the emotional fog, stay focused and get the best results possible for my childrens sake. When i called him 15 years later for the answer to a question he responded the very next day with the same dilligence and commitment he'd displayed 15 years earlier. I would stronlgly recommend that anyone in need of his services contact him.

Constantine Frangopoulos Esq, was able to resolve a boundary line Issue that was not addressed by the previous attorney that represented me on the Sale of my Home. Further Mr. Frangopoulos was able to close the sale of the house in an efficient, thorough, and quick manner. In addition to the sale Mr. Frangopoulos represented me and my wife on the purchase of the new home which was owned by an Estate. The new home was riddled with municipality issues that Constantine was able to identify and effectively negotiate a significant credit towards the purchase price and close the purchase in a seamless and smooth fashion.
Mr. Frangopoulos kept both myself and my wife apprised in all aspects during the course of both transactions. I would highly recommend him he is a very competent Real Estate Attorney.

In dealing with management of my building about problematic neighbors, Mrs. Cherrick stated that all should could do was send a letter. She did send the letters to management but the problem was her complete lack of communication during and after the fact. I understand that my case is not the most pressing or of great importance, but this was a service being given and if there was no real interest in my case, an honest decline from the beginning would have sufficed.

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.
