I recently had the pleasure of working with Hughes Mathew Legal Group, and I must say, their customer service was outstanding. From the moment I reached out, their team was attentive, professional, and genuinely helpful. I didn't expect them to do workers' compensation litigation and they demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities involved. They went above and beyond to address my concerns and ensure that my needs were met with the utmost care. If you’re looking for a legal group that offers exceptional service, Hughes Mathew Legal Group is definitely the place to go

Thank you so much to attorney Pamela Abella and her wonderful staff who helped me get my settlement for my car accident. It was really difficult navigating this process but thanks to their professionalism I can rest a little better knowing I don't have to worry about that financial burden.

I hired Michele for two different civil cases. The first civil case involved settling a lien against my property (co-owned) from a roofing company to avoid foreclosure. The general contractor that was hired had run off with the paid money, and the 4th party contractor who completed the work was not paid. The lien was resolved by a negotiated rate and cost split outside of court between their lawyer and Michele, who represented me. The second civil case I hired Michele for was to resolve a Default Judgment against me involving the same property after a dissolution/separation of the shared owners could not be resolved outside of court. The default judgment was won in court, as I was not served correctly, which extended the lawsuit a year. This civil case I hired Michele for is still ongoing and is now in mediation; we reached an agreement to sell the house mutually, outside of a forced sale. Michele’s attention to detail and thorough approach make her a standout choice for property litigation. She is dedicated to crafting well-written court documents, earning the respect of judges and fellow lawyers. Michele is committed to ensuring her clients’ truth leads to successful case outcomes. I believe Michele is the attorney to turn to when faced with a complex situation and a sizable amount of evidence. I highly recommend her services!

I don't even know where to begin. It's now been a little over a year since my husband and I made the call to Hallaq Law. It was the BEST decision we made and a huge burden was lifted! It was the end of 2022 and we were in so much debt after going from a 2 income household to 1 due to the pandemic. We thought we'd be able to catch up on paying our bills that was accumulated but we were stuck. I vividly remember googling Law Firms in my area and Hallaq Law was at the top of the list. After reading the reviews, my husband and I discussed our options and made the call. It took us a while to finally get the ball rolling, but Brian and Diem walked us through the whole process and was always available when we had questions. It's long over due, but I wanted to THANK Brian and Diem for their guidance during the whole process. Look no further, Brian and Diem are the best and we can't thank them enough.

Her ability to provide the complete picture for me of the pros and cons of negotiation, while also helping comfort any concerns I had, really got me through a tough period at a time I needed it most.

I just had to drop a note to say a massive thanks to Atty. Sopath's team for making my entire Green Card journey a breeze. I was expecting a more extensive process given the complicated aspect of my application, but everything went through smoothly. Big shoutout to Vanessa Torres. Her timely assistance and responses made the whole immigration maze feel like a walk in the park. I can't thank her enough for guiding me through every twist and turn. Mad props to the whole team for bringing their A-game. Because of you guys, I'm looking forward to a future filled with stability and exciting opportunities. Thank you so much!

Most lawyers I've worked with do the minimum (if any) work to just mark the task as "done". However, Jerry goes above and beyond. He offers suggestions that definitely make his life more difficult, to help the customer, without extra compensation. He works very hard and deserves every penny he earns.

Scott was an outstanding resource as we produced estate and will documents for the first time. He was generous with his time, common sense about explaining terms and scenarios for our understanding, and communicative so that our time together was well-spent and efficient. Scott is a very pleasant individual, so the interactions never seems strained or formal. I would also comment on his excellent follow-up and after-the-fact communications to ensure our docs were stored well, that we had access to the digital files, and provide ongoing guidance about any potential revision based on purchases we had made or changes in income status. I highly recommend Scott Beetham for personal legal work.

My wife and I had no idea where to start our estate planning. Mr. Beetham was extremely patient, thoughtful and helpful.

There is no doubt he would be my first choice for professional and friendly legal advice.

I felt compelled to write a recommendation of The Lotzkar Law Firm as an exceptional team. I have had the pleasure of working with Gordon Lotzkar for over 8 years, closer to 10 now. During this time, I’ve been consistently impressed by the lever of expertise, responsiveness, dedication and professionalism. Gordon has demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and achieving the best outcomes for his clients. He possesses excellent analytical skills, think critically, strategically and still show empathy which is a rare combination. Over the years I’ve had to seek out Gordon and his teams and work through not just the divorce but ultimately how to best collaborate with my child’s father when he was unable to responsibly care for our son on multiple occasions. Gordon help me to prepare the right type of parental guards within the courts to temporarily suspend custodial rights while seeking mental and medical support and getting to a place of stability. It’s a difficult situation to understand and yet be able to explain but Gordon and his team of legal experts have always acted in the best interest of our son and provided sound guidance and counsel. I have witnessed Gordon in action in court and have always been impressed with his ability to work with integrity and strong moral character while navigating complex legal situations and work tirelessly to ensure our rights and interests were always protected. I trust The Lotzkar Firm and wouldn’t hesitate to bring him in again if needed. Please consider this when looking for the absolute best!

I felt compelled to write a recommendation of The Lotzkar Law Firm as an exceptional team. I have had the pleasure of working with Gordon Lotzkar for over 8 years, closer to 10 now. During this time, I’ve been consistently impressed by the lever of expertise, responsiveness, dedication and professionalism. Gordon has demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and achieving the best outcomes for his clients. He possesses excellent analytical skills, think critically, strategically and still show empathy which is a rare combination. Over the years I’ve had to seek out Gordon and his teams and work through not just the divorce but ultimately how to best collaborate with my child’s father when he was unable to responsibly care for our son on multiple occasions. Gordon help me to prepare the right type of parental guards within the courts to temporarily suspend custodial rights while seeking mental and medical support and getting to a place of stability. It’s a difficult situation to understand and yet be able to explain but Gordon and his team of legal experts have always acted in the best interest of our son and provided sound guidance and counsel. I have witnessed Gordon in action in court and have always been impressed with his ability to work with integrity and strong moral character while navigating complex legal situations and work tirelessly to ensure our rights and interests were always protected. I trust The Lotzkar Firm and wouldn’t hesitate to bring him in again if needed. Please consider this when looking for the absolute best!

During a challenging time when I didn’t know where to start, I interviewed several attorneys. Mr. Lotzkar was the only one who provided me with a sense of security by requesting that the court hold my then-husband responsible for my attorney's fees. He gave me peace of mind and reassurance that everything would be okay.

Chellie Anderson has been an absolute cornerstone in my experience with legal support, working alongside attorney Joshua Bruner with a level of expertise and reliability that's both impressive and deeply reassuring. She feels like a second lawyer on the legal team. Since taking over for Donna, Chellie has been incredibly prompt, utterly professional, and someone who embodies the highest standards of what top-of-the-line legal assistance should be. If you'll click over to read my review of Donna, you'll see that replacing her was an incredibly high bar to live up to. Chellie's success in matching Donna's performance as a paralegal to Joshua Bruner makes me wonder if it isn't the strength of the paralegal team, and not the attorneys, at Envision Family Law that makes the firm so successful. That isn't to knock attorney Joshua Bruner, who has been nothing short of magnificent. Flawless. Compelling. Powerful. An expert crafter of legal writing, interviewer, and declaration writer. And deeply empathic to boot. He's been beyond-the-beyond good. It's just that, in settling on Envision, we interviewed countless other firms, including all the top firms in Washington, and even paid an $8000 retainer at one, only to have it completely refunded because of the sheer complexity of our case. We experienced countless paralegal's assistance and communication through that process. EACH of the paralegals we worked with at Envision - Donna & Chellie - are an order of magnitude better than ANY of the dozen paralegals we worked with at other firms. Chellie's approach isn't just about being thorough - and she is remarkably thorough - it's about bringing a personal understanding to her work that genuinely makes a difference. Josh trusts Chellie implicitly, and it's easy to see why. Her capacity to handle complex legal tasks with a calm and efficient demeanor has not only won my complete trust but also my respect. She operates with a clarity and precision that ensures everything is managed smoothly, which is something I've come to rely on. What stands out to me about Chellie is not just her professionalism but also her genuine dedication to her clients. She responds quickly, making sure that I'm always in the loop and fully informed, while respecting our budget. This level of communication and care is something I've found to be exceptional. Chellie doesn't just meet the high standards set by the legal profession; she surpasses them, making the often daunting world of legal proceedings far more navigable and less stressful. Working with Chellie, I've felt a strong sense of confidence in our ongoing legal matters. Her ability to work seamlessly with Joshua Bruner enhances their legal services tremendously, providing a level of support that I truly value. It's not just about the legal tasks at hand. It's about knowing there's someone as capable as Chellie looking out for your best interests, while you're out taking care of your own business and family matters. For anyone in need of exceptional legal support, my experience says you'll be in very good hands with Chellie. She very obviously enhances the effectiveness of an already powerhouse attorney in Joshua Bruner. Now having more than 6 months of experience with Envision, Chellie, Donna, and Bruner, I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who has to go against them in court. They are by FAR the most prepared - and talented - legal team in the courtroom, every single time. It's not even close. If you need a legal team that is going to win, even when they "shouldn't," I currently put my money - literally - on Envision, because of industry-leading performance by paralegal's like Chellie. That performance appears to just be par for the course for all parties at Envision. Deeply impressive. Easiest 5-star review ever.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
