I feel like Mr Haws was extremely knowledgeable and professional in all of his dealings. Even more importantly he took the time to really listen to my values and objectives. I never once doubted that he and his firm always had my personal interest as their first priority when making decisions. At every turn I was asked for my input and was made to feel a part even when terminology and procedure and to be explained and re- explained. Mr Haws has a gift of understanding with the tenacity to get results.

I want others to know how pleased I am with the collections effort made by James Colborn on my behalf. He was persistent, tenacious, even-tempered and just kept doing his job until he collected on an unpaid debt. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Colborn to others who find themselves in a bind with a collection debt. Thank you James for a job very well done!!

James resolved an odd case for me in which the address on my title was switched with my neighbor over 15 years ago, and despite the neighbors property being sold twice since then it was never caught. I live remotely and had never met James, I was fortunate to find him on the internet and am very glad I ended up working with him. I tried to resolve this myself and got nowhere so I reached out to James. First he gave me advice on how to resolve it myself and offered to help if I wasn't successful. After failing to resolve it I went back to James and he agreed to help. He was able to find the original title company even though I had lost the documentation and pursued a solution through them. Simultaneously he pursued an alternative solution with the owner of the other property. Timing was important because the property next door was set for foreclosure with my physical property listed as the legal address on the title. James kept me up to speed on all aspects of his efforts. He was courteous and professional in resolving the issue, and ultimately when the situation demanded it, aggressive enough to gain cooperation to resolve the problem. James resolved the problem, clearing my property from complications with the foreclosure, correcting the information with the county and solving the problem. He did all of this remotely as I no longer live in the area and never met face to face. I found James to be professional, competent, and fair. I was very glad he was representing me and was very satisfied with his work and the outcome. While it is never inexpensive when you need legal advice, I felt his fees were fair and that I got a very good deal for the work and results. I would rely on James for future real estate work without hesitation and would recommend him to friends and colleagues. Working with James was a very positive experience.

I have both hired Mr. Perry's services for both business and personal legal matters and have found his service to be excellent. He has successfully worked through several complicated and high stakes contractual and lender involved matters.
His council is direct and clear, and his legal knowledge is deep. The fees are appropriate and fair, and he has always been responsive.
He remains the "first call" for my legal needs.

I hired John to help my wife and I with our estate planning needs, and I couldn't be happier with how it all came together. John made us feel at ease with the entire process and did a great job of helping us with so many personal decisions. We now have a plan for our family and peace of mind knowing that we have everything in order. I'm thankful that we had the opportunity to work with John and I highly recommend him to anyone who doesn't have an estate plan. Thanks John for all your help!

I first met Andrew at the Boise City Library where he was donating his time teaching community members about the estate planning process. I expressed my reluctance and fears about starting this process, but I found him so reassuring, that I contacted his office. I knew immediately that I wanted to hire him. Within a week following the class, my estate documents were all completed and signed off. That is how efficient he is. I have worked with many attorneys who were often self-absorbed and braggarts. This is not Andrew. He was well-informed and intelligent about estate planning, but did not try to bluff his way through the process. To work through my estate details, I had to confide some unfortunate and hurtful truths about my family. His compassion was evident, and he skillfully helped me to move forward with the planning. He is a managing partner at Gravis Law and exemplifies the tagline -- Law: Uncomplicated. I really appreciated his ability to explain complicated processes in layman's terms. He had a ready answer for all of my many questions. I found the price to be very reasonable too. Without hesitation, I recommend Andrew for all estate planning.

We were referred to Amber by our financial advisor after our previous attorney retired. We had literally spent thousands on a very complicated trust. We needed to make some simple modifications, but were a bit gun shy that we might be in for another large bill and protracted effort. We were pleasantly surprised with Amber's efforts to wade through our big old trust, her professionally respectful way of telling us we could make it simpler and her approachable demeanor. She obviously knows what she is doing! Wish we had met her sooner. We would HIGHLY recommend Amber.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience having a consult with this law firm. The gentleman I spoke with was highly knowledgeable, with a keen legal mind and great emotional intelligence. He helped me to better generally understand how Idaho law governs the process I am interested in, gave great practical advice about the ins and out of what retaining Taylor law would be like, and was a genuinely compassionate and kindhearted person. I can tell from this call that Taylor law is one of the best forms in the Treasure Valley. Retaining them will place great resources and knowledge at one’s fingertips. I believe anyone would receive an organized service from sharp legal minds at this firm.

Was referred to Trout to handle a very simple order to show cause. Fee churning in my opinion with two attorneys doing the work of one.
Should have been a bill for no more than $10,000 in my opinion and I received a bill for $21,000 for a very basic order to show cause. When I questioned them about the large bill, they agreed to discount 10% but $19,000 is still about double what this should have cost in my opinion.

The only mistake that has ever been made with regards to Trout Law's service is not getting them involved earlier. With that, I'm not talking only in times of what may be seen as, "trouble", I'm speaking to any business start or evolution that occurs in my business ventures where I want to go in with as much wisdom as possible for the benefit of all parties involved.

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.
