Scott Renick was very professional and detailed when discussing my case with me. Throughout the consultation, he was considerate when listening to my side of the story and explained certain aspects of the law in simple terms for my understanding. He managed to get the best outcome for the case as well. Overall, I think I made the best decision choosing him as my lawyer and would recommend him to anyone looking for a diligent, pragmatic lawyer.

One of the best lawyer's I could have hired. Thank God for Mr. Trapasso! I had a very bad and unfounded Credit Card Fraud case and Mr. Trapasso saved me from it. From the moment he took my case, he worked hard to get it resolved. He is smart and seems to really know the law. I could call him day or night and even on the weekends and he would return my call by the next day...
Thank you Mr.Trapasso for all your help!

When my initial lawyer failed me, Jonathan helped me out of a last minute jam in the courthouse when he didn't have to, which saved me from having to take more time off of work and helped to smoothly push the judicial process along so I could complete my case. I've known Jonathan for a long time and do not think you will regret hiring him as your attorney.

We had a very good experience with the firm. With our initial visit, there was no pressure. It was all in our hands to make the decision to use them. They were very good about keeping us informed on what was going on and answered any questions that we had. We never had to deal with the other party once we turned it over to the law firm and we knew that they would handle it to our best interest. So we would highly recommend them to anyone needing, a very professional law firm with a personal feel.

I reached out to Mr. Monk's office almost a month ago for a warranty deed transfer. He was very responsive and professional in the consultation, but when I kept checking in for a status update I was told by his office they were working on the deed and it would be another week. 27 days after our first consultation when I called for another status update I am told they need more information and it will take at least another week.

Intelligence, knowledge and prudence. Not a lot of fluff with Alicia, but when she speaks up she’ll only state the facts and the law, which is what’s needed when looking for the best interest of your children in front of a judge.

I can not thank Bryan, Pam and staff for the most professional representation. I was a client for almost a year, after speaking to multiple attorneys no one would take my case due to multiple issues that came along with it. I am so thankful Mr. McEachern did. Both Bryan and staff were able to answer every question I had and walked me through the process I had before me. Bryan went above and beyond for my son and I. I admire your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation.

Mrs. Shelander represented my daughter (minor) in a custody dispute. She was very sweet and reassuring to my child. She is always in contact with you unlikely other attorneys where you are always talking to the secretary and leaving messages. She is very kind and I definitely recommend her for your family law needs.

Our title company told us about this law firm when we needed to have the deed re-written so we called and spoke with Vicky. We mentioned that the title company said it would be $80 and Vicky told us it would take about one week. After calling several times during the next few weeks (and having Vicky fail to return my calls), we finally went to pick it up 3 weeks later. However, Vicky only then told us that it would be $100 and that they required cash or check. Getting to our bank off of Calder was impossible before the law firm closed and so we had to wait until the next week! We then asked her about filing it and she told us we needed to take it to the court house. Two hours after going to the court house and realizing we needed more cash and going through the same ordeal of going to our bank, we called Vicky and realized that she neglected to tell us that she could have filed it for us for the same price the court house charged... You should go somewhere else!

Jessica was an ad-litem attorney, selected by the court, to represent my daughter in an auto accident case. I had no contact with her until the final few months of the case. She was VERY unprofessional, borderline abusive. During the court hearing (Zoom-based because of COVID), the judge questioned my attorney’s (David Starnes) fee percentage of 35%, stating that the state approved fee maximum is 33.5%. This was a surprise to me, David stated, when I met with him originally, that his fee was less than ‘most’ attorneys. Jessica thought it was her place to speak up during the court proceeding, informing the judge that she believed David deserved the full 35% fee. The attorney, selected by the court, to fight for my daughters’ rights and she speaks up to support money being taken from my daughter and given to the attorney. I originally agreed to the 35% fee on behalf of my daughter. I didn’t try to back out of that arrangement because of what the judge stated, but I didn’t expect Jessica to advocate for my attorney. I expected she would advocate for my daughter. She was being paid to do so, and I thought she was legally obligated to do so.
As if that was not enough, in a final phone conversation with her after the court proceeding, I was asking her for specific information regarding my daughters’ settlement and copies of financial documents that I needed and should be entitled to, when Jessica started yelling at me on the phone, telling me that my attorney deserved the 35% and more for having to deal with me. I don’t believe that was professional.
There are other things that were off about her work, but I will keep with what I have stated here.

Met with the attorney regarding a release of lien. He took over three weeks to do absolutely nothing. He claimed in the end that "he couldnt find to whom the affidavit should be addressed" and closed the file. And although I had given him all my contact information, he mailed an invoice to a customer's house. He's completely disengaged to handle any of our real estate needs!

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.
