The true measure of an attorney's strength is how they rise to master the moment when it arrives. Every time I thought I had measured his capacity to meet a challenge, I was reminded that his capacity was limitless. He graced and honored his position. Ronnie guides me and never betrayed my trust. He was committed to sacrafice for the protection of me.

Ronnie Dykes is an extremely professional and trustworthy attorney. I have used his services on several occasions and have been pleased each time.

I went to David's law firm to speak with his partner first, and his partner referred me to David. We hit it off immediately; he listens well, makes no assumptions until he has heard everything and takes notes so his questions are succinct and to the point.
My issue was with a rogue HOA president who just wanted to make certain homeowners lives miserable. David was prompt and thorough in all of his correspondence to the opposing attorney and made sure he followed up with me weekly, even if there was no movement. I really appreciated the fact that he let me proof all of the letters to the opposing attorney, and took my edits/additions to heart.
David was able to not only bring closure to the matter with the opposing attorney but made sure all of the false claims brought against me (with fines attached) were wiped clean from my HOA ledger so I was once again a homeowner in good standing.
I was grateful for David's work and would hire him again if needed.

I've worked with a number of lawyers in the past, many of whom I've felt were counting hours or simply too busy to work with me in a meaningful way. In other circumstances, they were not knowledgeable enough on the topics I had issues on, and I didn't feel comfortable with them.
With David I've had none of these issues. He's always extremely patient with servicing my issues, and has a very good understanding of a broad variety of legal concerns that I bring to his desk.

This attorney, Mr. Don A. Paradiso was retained to represent me in a situation involving banking and stock market securities. He guided the case to a very satisfactory conclusion involving a settlement. What impressed me most was his patience in asking probing question meant to extract the facts of the case. Also, he makes it a point to keep his clients updated, in my case on a weekly basis. Not one week went by when he did not touch base with me to explain the last thing that happened and what his plan was for the next thing to happen. I have used lawyers in the past that did not call for 6 months and then only found the time to talk to you after you called them. I was also impressed by his coolness in negotiations with the opposing council.
I would highly recommend this attorney.

When the bank tried to foreclose on my mortgage because i was a little passed due, I want to a modification specialist I heard adveretise on the radio. Big mistake. All hey did was take my money and make empty promises. A business associate referred me to Don Paradiso and my situation improved immediately. He was able to negotiate more favorable terms with my bank, and was able to get a loan modification for me quickly and effectively. All the while keeping me informed and up to date. I am the nervouse type who asks a lot of questions, and not once did Don show impatience or annoyance at any of my many questions no matter how trivial.
I would not hesitate to use or reccomend Don Paradiso to anybody. My only regret was not knowing about Don sooner.

Our company was recently served demanding that we vacate our office premises due the landlord taking the position he was not aware of our arraignment of a sub-lease agreement with another tenant. Meanwhile the landlord had been fully aware of the sub-lease arraignment for many months by stopping into our office randomly to chat. Throughout we had been fully up to date on our rent.
Through a recommendation we engaged Mr Glickstein to seek some sanity in the matter and see if we could resolve this with minimum legal action. While the final outcome was not to our liking we were very pleased with the client attorney relationship with Mr Glickstein. From the beginning he approached the case very rationally seeking a positive outcome for both parties. Unfortunately a equatable solution was not to be for ourselves.
We were kept informed of the unfolding events throughout the case, meanwhile Mr Glickstein maintained a most professional attitude in dealing with the opposing party who obviously was not interested in a positive solution for both parties. In the past we have been involved with legal counsel who were most unpleasant with the opposing council. The eventual outcome in many times could have been achieved sooner by seeking a more reasonable approach.
Reasonable while still maintaining a firm position throughout the case,that coupled with a common sense approach to the facts at hand is why we would highly recommend Mr Glickstein.

The advice I have obtained through his counsel has been accurate, professional and complete.. I recommend him highly and find him to be a model for the legal profession.

I retained Scott Hirsch to file an arbitration for me from a Ponzi scheme that really destroyed my financial situation. After 2 years of a good fight I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

The staff at Scarlett & Hirsch, especially Scott Hirsch, are so friendly and professional. When I was ready to sell my ocean front property I reached out to Scott and he was more than willing to help me with the closing. After the contract was signed my buyer decided he was ready to move ASAP, I let Scott know and we closed 30 days early! I have bought and sold many properties and this was by far the fastest and smoothest closing I've had.

I had a very contentious divorce where relocation of my child out of state was in play. I retained Toni Ross to handle my case. She devoted her heart and soul into making sure that my child would remain in Florida. I felt as if she were part of my family. Needless to say there were many nerve racking days when I needed some reassurance that everything would work out. Toni Ross would ALWAYS return my calls within moments. If she was in court, she would text and tell me when she will be available. At the end of the day, not only did Ms. Ross prevent the relocation, all the other issues ended in my favor. I cannot thank her enough for what she did for myself, my child and my family. She is not only hard working, but she is extremely ethical and fair with her billing. Sincerely, Joshua H.

I knew Joe Mannino since working with him on my sale of my home in florida. He also made my Florida will. He is the best attorney that I have ever known. He answered all of my questions and always returns phone calls and e-mails very promptly. Many attorneys do not do this and when they do they charge for every little thing. Joe does not and gives you undivided attention at all times. He is truly a rare find. Also his fees are very very reasonable.

We worked with Ms. Brooke Estren to sell our home and at the same time to help us purchase our current home. We sold our home "For Sale By Owner" and she held our hand through the whole process.
We had to deal with real estate agents that were not very helpful. If we did not have Brooke to help us through, there is no way we would have completed either deal. She was thorough, extremely responsive and great to work with. We had many questions and called her many times. She always returned our calls in a timely fashion and she took the time to answer our thousands of questions without making us feel that we were wasting her time.
We are already recommending her to all of our friends and family and would gladly serve as a reference to any client looking for someone who will represent your best interests in a very kind and professional manner.

My husband and I went through a nasty custody battle. Tammy and Jackie (another attorney in her office) not only got the desired results we wanted they also defended my husband and his rights like he was their only client.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney or need representation.

I would highly recommend Steven Serle.

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.
