She had a wealth of knowledge and advice on my business transaction and was extremely efficient in getting the deal done. In many aspects, she went the extra mile to make the transaction smoother. She is very precise and meticulous in her work. I appreciated all of her legal and non-legal business advice. Further, her bilingual ability was exceptional - extremely fluent in both Korean and English. I would recommend her to anyone needing legal advice on business-related matters.

My wife and myself retained Ryan Nykamp for the first time in 2011, and have since had him help us with several legal matters. I have nothing but good to say about him. He is extremely honest and Awesome to deal with. He is very down to earth and feels like you re talking to a friend instead of a "lawyer". I have dealt with several business attorneys over the years and wish that Mr Nykamp specialized in every field so I could use him for all of my legal matters. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We hired Michael to set up our wills. I had tried doing it myself in the past with online forms but it was too time consuming to do it and I wasn't sure if all grounds were being covered. Michael was great to work with. We met with him for one hour and went over our plans - he made recommendations and guided us to think about options we hadn't considered. Within a few days he had our wills ready for review. We had another meeting scheduled to sign it and that was it. Very easy. It did not take much of our time. And the end result is a will we are comfortable with.

We own a business and Michael has provided the expertise to keep us on track for 15 years. He also created a living will for my wife and myself. We were so pleased with the document that my father had Michael's office generate one for him.
We can't say enough for the quality and personal attention we receive each time he provides legal assistance.

I was referred to Sabina through a good friend of mine because I needed help with documentation for a fiance visa. Sabina was very helpful and knew exactly what needed to be done to make sure we have no problems going forward. Once I told her what we needed she began right away on gathering information that we will need to make this a smooth transaction. Within a few days we had all the paperwork together and we were able to submit all the necessary documentation. It was truly a pleasure to work with Sabina and I would definitely be going back if I ever need any legal help in the future, and will definitely recommend her services to others.

Kim and David helped me apply for E2 visa. I was recently grated my visa. I am very impressed with their knowledge and ability of what they can pull off. they have a very precise understanding of how the USCIS rules and laws govern in this Country. They were able to advise me on what the USCIS is looking from me, and what kinds of documents will justify my request for the visa. It is kind of hard to keep this short, but i strongly recommend these people and their skills.
Thanks

I've known Tim since the late 1960's and he has handled all my legal needs since he was licensed.
I've never hesitated to refer Tim to friends or family, for legal, tax, estate planning, or accounting advice.
He was always at the top of his class, and continues to have a keen mind.
His tax and accounting background are a great mix.

I have retained a number of attorneys for both personal and business
needs. for over fifty years Gregory Lucas has been the finest attorney I
have used.
He Is an excellent listner and repeats backs how he understand what you tell him or ask him, to ensure he fully understands your questions or comments. He then gives his advise or comments on the Issue you have retained him for In easy understandable layman terms.
He is not bashful to tell you that you may not understand a law or not like that you may be wrong or want to expect what you think is what you would like.
He Is very detailed and Is very well versed in the law or problem that you need his advise on and does not give you a quick answer you might not like to hear with out a complete review of the law or the problem you bring him.
His fees are fair and he does not waste time or try to drag an Issue out to build his retirement income like many lawyers I have used.
He quickly starts working on your Issues and keeps you updated as needed.

Brian Sommer is one of the most amazing attorneys that I've ever met. He's a world class negotiator and mediator. When I found myself in a very difficult landlord-tenant dispute late on a Friday, he made great personal sacrifices to attend to the situation that I was facing, and dedicated himself to working on it through the weekend. His approach to the complicated situation was calming and professional. He deescalated the emotional reactions and work with the parties involved to bring them to common ground over a matter of days. What could've been a very costly, lengthy and stressful litigation, was resolved equitably and quickly. Based on Brian's steadfast dedication to his clients as well as his skill in matters of law, mediation and humanity, Brian has my highest recommendation as an attorney.

Eugenie was impeccably thorough and detailed. The project was complex and required a great deal of knowledge and expertise. In fact, 2 other attorneys turned the project away because it was so complex and unusual. Eugenie's insight, expertise on complicated financial transactions, and advice were so valuable, and she was a pleasure to work with. I recommend her highly.

One thing you need to know about Mr. Yranela is that he will fight to get the BEST outcome possible for you without you even knowing. I am out-of-state and got a speeding ticket in a WA state park while on vacation (silly I know). Contacted Mr. Yranela through Google search. He set very clear expectation in terms of what he could do to help with my case and I was very happy about it already. Everything went on as planned and he surprisingly told me that he was able to get the case dismissed due to a technicality issue he caught the VERY LAST MINUTE. I find Mr. Yranela very down to earth and professional during the short interaction I had with him. He is definitely very client oriented. He even told me that he would provide me with a full refund under certain circumstances... My suggestion is that you should read the Q&A section on his firm's website first. He also has a few Youtube videos you can check out. No wonder he received so many 5 stars on Google. Here is another one from me!

I do not have words to describe how competent and patient this lawyer is. He always replies in a short amount of time( I do not have any idea how he manages all of these); he is a real example of multitasking. My husband had a difficult traffic ticket assigned to a court that was avoided by many lawyers. Roberto was the only lawyer who took our case and succeeded in amending it to a non- moving violation. Aditionally, I have never seen such budget-friendly prices. This lawyer deserves the best and I highly recommend him to everyone. He was a blessing for us. Thank you for your help.

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.
