I had a very good experience with Steven Sanchez of Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath. I was personally referred to him by someone who had also had a good prior experience. He was professional at all times, and genuinely concerned for my health and well being. I felt comfortable contacting him whenever I had any questions. Thank you, Steve!

If you find yourself needing an attorney, Steven Ganim, is the attorney to choose!
Steven represented me for a Real Estate case and he didn't just represent me he educated me, respected me, and ensured I was in trusted hands. Steven's communication and follow through is impeccable. His integrity, intelligence and commitment definitely shone through. Regardless of his case load (I would have no idea but I would have to assume it is large due to his ability) you will feel as if you are his only client and his #1 priority! I highly recommend Steven and Ganim Law Group.

Rihab’s understanding of visa laws and procedures is entensive. She took great care in managing all the documents related to my case. She was always there to clarify and give clear explanations. The process of the visa went very smoothly because of how detail- oriented she is. I'm really appreciative of her outstanding assistance. I got I130 approval for my wife in just one week thanks to her efforts.

Nobody likes to be sued, but having a lawyer like Michael made me forget it was even happening ! I mean, he handled everything so quickly and professionally that it required little input or time on my part. He settled my case for significantly under half the amount with low monthly payments as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better deal or process. While I hope I’ll never be in this situation again, he would definitely be my first choice for representation. Thank you Michael and Al

I was very reluctant to hire a bankruptcy attorney, for a few reasons. First, there's a service in the internet that takes you through the whole process for free (although you do the filing yourself). Second, too many "attorneys" out there. Well, the best decision I've made lately was to hire Stephen. He's very knowledgeable and supportive, and (very important!) ALWAYS replies back in a timely manner. And his fee ended up being more than fair for the peace of mind I had through the whole process. Well, I got discharged! Thanks Stephen!

I engaged Mr. Orchard's services initially because I received a court document naming me as a defendant in a foreclosure action. Having no idea that I was attached to the property, I needed a local attorney's help, as I live in a different state.
Mr. Orchard patiently explained the legal meaning of the documents to me (actually more than once). Further, in assessing the implications of the documents and their impact on me, I had to share very personal and emotional family issues of estrangement and family wounds.
Previously, I hired a PI to assist with the family issues, but he turned out to be a scammer. I hired a different atty years before for the family issue, who provided bum advice, blew through the retainer, and said that was all he could do. I contacted the sheriff's office, who said there was nothing they could do. I was ready to surrender.
Long story short, Mr. Orchard was able to assist in discovering the familial information I was seeking and absolutely needed (and failed to obtain), and continued to work patiently with me to educate and coach me on the legal recourse I had with respect to the foreclosure. Additionally, I found him to be extremely fair and reasonable regarding the retainer I paid and the manner in which it was used.
His services began in April, 2021, and effectively ended in August 2022. Throughout this time, Steve communicated with me regularly, kept me informed regarding actions taken and actions needed, and represented me in an honest and dependable manner. In fact, I trusted him completely, and felt he always acted in my best interest.
In reality, he went out of his way to ensure I received the surplus funds I deserved from the foreclosure. Plus, he did all of this work over a 16-month period ON A CONTIGENCY BASIS! He even consulted with other attorneys that specialized in a completely different area of law (that was a factor in the claim) in order to ensure he was advising me correctly.
I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Orchard again, and you shouldn't either. If you are looking for an attorney that sees you instead of your money, I highly recommend Mr. Orchard. I found him and his lawfirm to provide excellent service, sound and helpful advice, and to have the best ethical integrity of any lawyer I've engaged!

Moved from NY to Boca where I had established relations with different attorneys. I normally go through friends for referrals when it comes to attorneys. I decided to do my own research. I was fortunate enough to have found Andrew Blasi. He is a true professional, extremely knowledgable and reliable. Upon entering his office I was greeted by a very warm and friendly staff. If you're looking for a seasoned business attorney, look no further. I highly recommend him.

Andy Blasi handled the sale of our home to a buyer who was very difficult throughout the process. Andy handled the contract terms and his changes were invariably the reason we even were able to close. Regardless of the nonsense the buyers and their attorney tried to pull, Andy quashed their arguments in a professional and straight forward manner. And he did it while handling insignificant details while he literally forced the buyers to the table. In the end we closed and thankfully no need to sue or face a lawsuit over the deposit. Andy is the best. Also, Andy handled a business contract for a family member and somehow got that agreement done. It was a very intricate situation with out of state parties. I had recommended Andy to handle that matter and Andy handled it beautifully.

The ultimate professional, Mr blasi was knowledgable, courteous and caring. A quality often missing from most professionals today. If you are looking for someone with over 36yrs experience who can guide you and provide exceptional service, then a visit or consultation with Mr.Blasi is a must. Mr.Blasi was able to correct the errors made in my closing and get my title insurance cleared up so that when selling the property there would be no issues. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

I recently contracted the services of Jeff Galvan to help me with the purchase of my first dental practice. The business opportunity was extremely complicated and stressful for me. It seemed like an impossible . Mr. Galvan and every person at Galvan- Messick where amazing. They were available for me after hours, on weekends and even sacrificed time over the Holidays to complete my buying process. They looked after my interests and protected me fiercely against any potential issue. They are extremely professional, caring and competent. It was a real pleasure working with them. I highly recommend their services and certainly will work with Galvan Messick in future endeavors. Thank you one more time!

Jeffrey Lynne represented me in a difficult negotiation with FPL. He was able to obtain a better settlement than I expected in record time. FPL negotiations are notorious for being painfully slow.

Jeffery is an incredibly brilliant Lawyer. He is a straight shooter and has an impeccable reputation. We have worked with many Lawyers in the past but Jeffery is truly the best. His extensive understanding of both Healthcare and Zoning laws are unmatched. I don't believe anyone has as much experience as he does. Our Patients care comes first when it comes to Jeffery and that is how it should be. It's nice to know that we have such talented council fighting on our behalf. Jeffery is like that friend you had when you were younger, the one that stood up to the bullies. If you are doing the right thing and not being treated the right way, Call Jeffery.

I never thought needing an attorney ever. Unfortunately, Florida has way to many dishonest people. Somebody gave me his name and phone number and call. The next day, meet him and since, I needed him twice. In both cases he suggested me the best way, and won in both. Man, i liked the way he made this happen. Efficiently and in good time. I coudn’t hace been more lucky, running in to him, perhaps, God put me in his direction. He is simply an excelent attoney and person. Who ever hires him, i assure you, that he will do his best for you.

My landlord was actually an attorney and the way he manipulated me was grotesque. He promised to offer the property at a discount if I dealt with the maintenance and poor home remodel (the non permitted porch addition). He lied and to boot wanted to blame me for rats coming under the wall that did not even touch the slab. Andrew went to work for me and got me my deposit and I moved to an even better condo! Rent domination nightmare gone!

This past Spring during COVID-19, I virtually purchased a home in Delray Beach Florida. My relocating from New Jersey to my new primary home in Delray Beach was very stressful and not the easiest thing to do. Especially, when you have to rely on people that you do not know and never met before. Erika assisted in completing my move, as well as prepared me for the closing on my new house. She treated me like a friend that she had for many years. She was extremely responsive and answered the numerous questions that I would constantly ask her. Sometimes, I called her office every day. In addition to Erika’s personal touch with the legal services that she provides, Erika has an amazing Paralegal, Amber, that does fantastic paralegal work. She is extremely thorough and efficient. Amber made my move and closing process a total breeze! These two women are absolutely incredible. Their honesty and integrity far superseded my expectations of any law firm. If you are looking for an outstanding law firm, please look no further. Rodriguez Law is the law firm for you! Thank you Erika and Amber for assisting in paving the way to my new life in Delray Beach! I now have an attorney that I can always rely on in Florida!

We had a tricky real estate issue with a contract that needed to be cancelled because it wasn't valid and the buyer in question was violating FL real estate statutes. We contacted Tim and he had a cease and desist letter prepared almost immediately and we had a cancellation of contract within 2 days. He was straight to the point, knew exactly which statutes were being violated and was so knowledgeable that the other party knew they had no fight and complied immediately. We would gladly use Tim again for any other real estate needs.

I'm British living in the Middle East and bought my first property in USA with the help and guidance of Tim Olenn. My funds for the purchase came from 4 different banks outside the US and the purchase itself was far from a simple transaction. I've bought and sold many properties in UK but I found many aspects of the US system different and confusing - but I'm so pleased to have been recommended to use Tim. He explained to me the things I didn't understand and smoothed out all the bumps ensuring he minimised the stress for me, taking care to protect me where there were potential pitfalls. I'd recommend him to anyone one that wants excellent legal assistance. Thanks Tim.

As a longtime lawyer, I know what makes for a good attorney and a good attorney-client relationship. Among the most important qualities are intelligence, integrity, and strong interpersonal skills. My siblings and I hired Spencer Winepol to probate our mother’s estate and we hit the trifecta. Spencer is the whole package and we could not have been more pleased, grateful, and/or impressed! He added so much more to the mix as well...he was responsive, accessible, and sensitive to our loss and the consequent need to retain him. Finally, his fees were extremely fair and his entire billing process clear and transparent.

Spencer understands the law; he understands people; and he knows not only how to resolve a problem, but to legally safeguard us from liabilities that commonly arise in the construction industry, Five stars, hands down.

I met Mr. Harris a few years ago when I became his tenant at Boca West C.C. and he was easy to deal with, and very fair with any issues, etc... ( not an angry, miserable landlord like so many are...)
He just gave me a great consultation for a vehicle accident I was in recently, long story longer, I got sued by Budget Truck for 7K, and with the help and guidance of Robert, we have worked out a payoff of only $2500, his knowledge and negotiating skills are sound and effective.
It's no secret that many attorneys are shady, greedy, and arrogant, Robert Harris is the other end of that spectrum, he is the best "listener" you can ask for, get a free consult, 3 decades of experience and his calm demeanor, it makes it easy to work with him on your team. He is WORTH HIS PRICE and he can be TRUSTED,
he helps make picking a top notch attorney easy.

I had a phone consultation with attorney Harris after I was planning on filing a lawsuit against a car dealership that sold me a pre-owned car. After a very much detailed summary of my experience, attorney Harris made me see my problem in a more objective way and how there was really no legal basis for my lawsuit. Needless to say, he saved me time and money in what otherwise would have been a pointless lawsuit. I appreciate his honesty and objective eye in all of this situation. Thank you a lot!!!

I found Alan on AVVO just out of pure luck, thank God. Better lucky than smart. He has been my savior. I purchased a property with numerous title faults, and had I not found Alan, it would still be a mess. I would have had to sell the property for a huge loss, if I would have been able to sell it. The number of attorneys that could have solved this mess, nor wanted to tackle it, is extremely limited.
Attorney Raines is a highly competent and skilled legal expert. Ive worked with a number of attorneys in my career at a major institutional investment house in Pittsburgh, and attorney Raines far outshines the others. He is great at cutting to the heart of the problem, as persistent as a terrier, and thrives on complex litigation. He's a tough negotiator and ALWAYS acts in your interest. His judgement is keen. His communication has been excellent, and he's just a down-to-earth guy. I wholeheartedly recommend him if you have a major business or real estate problem, or any complex litigation.

I've been able to confide in him, and trust in his decisions and ethics. He is diligent and extremely motivated when he has a goal, and he never gives up. All of his efforts are devoted to completing his obligations beyond the best of his abilities. He sets high goals and achieves them. For that, I am grateful to have him representing me in the past and all future matters when I foresee a legal issue in personal and business matters.

Max was patient and thorough in explaining legal steps and procedures. When I called him, he called me back in a timely fashion. I found my experience with him to be pleasant, although I required his help for only a month or so. He was easy to talk, and I found him very understanding.

I had to force the sale of a Florida condo that I and one of my relatives jointly inherited. The first lawyer I contacted told me that it would be expensive to force the sale. They also told me that I would need to travel to Florida. I waited years before I again looked into getting a lawyer. The condo association referred Max Paul, Esq. After I agreed to his reasonable hourly rate, Max went to work. I did not need to travel to Florida. Max represented me so that I no longer had to communicate with my relative. Max did an amazing job and quickly convinced my relative to execute a contract allowing the property to be offered for sale. Max also communicated with the sales agent and kept me informed each step of the way. The process became stress free for me because Max handled everything. As a result, the condo was sold at market rate rather than at auction. Max’s efforts brought closure for my family. He took care of me on an emotional and professional level. I highly recommend Max Paul Esq.

A real estate lawyer provides a range of services to help with property transactions and disputes, including:

- 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.

It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

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:

- Experience and location: More experienced lawyers or those in high-demand areas, like urban centers, often charge higher rates.

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.

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.
