I always leave our meetings feeling confident and ready to advocate for my business. Highly recommended!

I’ve asked Bob to handle a variety of legal tasks over the past twenty years or so finding he performed all impeccably and to the satisfaction of all. He has a strong ethical streak meaning unlike all too many lawyers, you won’t be wondering what these charges are come bill time.
Simply put, your can’t do better than him.

Mary Anderson was the answer to my prayers. I just wanted my problem to go away.
After I told her my issue, she quickly advised me on how to achieve my goal.
I was impressed by her knowledge of the law and her cander on how to stay focused, cut through the weeds and get to the bottom line.
I appreciate Mary's professional style of strait talk wrapped in kindness. It was exactly what I needed.
Mary is ethical, knowledgable, and effective!!
And she won't break the bank, but I promise you she is worth every penny!!
I can never repay Mary for the peace of mind she gave me. Priceless!!
I have to shout Mary's praises from the rooftops!!
And you will too if you choose her.

I am beyond happy that I hired Mary Anderson as my lawyer for a car accident. I was involved in a car accident in 2018, which occurred on a high speed interstate wherein I was rear-ended. The injuries I sustained resulted in me needing a knee surgery, as such, I was looking for a lawyer to help with my case and I came upon Mary Anderson. Because of the hard work and care she put into my case, I was able to receive a fair settlement for both my injury as well as the emotional distress the accident caused me. Mary Anderson went beyond the call of duty of an attorney, staying in continuous contact to ensure I was updated and informed at every step of the process. She puts in 110% of effort and care and I would recommend her services to anyone that needs an attorney.

I had an exceptional experience working with Lashay Jones and the team at this law firm. I was facing unfair move-out and cleaning charges from my previous landlord, but Lashay expertly defended me and ensured I wasn't taken advantage of.
Lashay was incredibly talented, subjective, and customer-focused throughout the process. She meticulously reviewed all the evidence I had collected and built a bulletproof case on my behalf. Her professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive.
Thanks to Lashay's tireless efforts, we were able to settle the case in a very favorable way for me. I'm so grateful for her dedication to serving the truth and protecting her clients' rights. I would recommend this law firm and Lashay Jones without any hesitation. They provided an outstanding level of service and delivered an incredible outcome.

I changed to working with Jason from a large company. One of those companies that are on TV, billboards and so on. Working with Jason and his office crew has been easy for me. They have made this bad situation so much easier for me. And having him local is great. I know who is working hard to get things moving right along. Because of Jason and his team, I received a check. And they are still working on my claim. I would recommend anyone with a injury case to call his office 1st. Save yourself some time.

Jennifer is great but very slow in returning phone calls. I had to call her office twice to get a return phone call. Finally she sent me an email on when we could get together to talk about helping me with a beneficiary form. She said she could do it as we speak but I wasn't available that day. I emailed her back to set up a time. i never heard from her again. It's been about 3 weeks. This is a concern, because if something happens to me my daughter will have problems contacting her.

We had a first meeting with Jennifer and hired her for will planning. It was an hour long phone call where we went over all the details and she asked us to come for the signing in 2 weeks time. We asked her if we could get our own witness and she said yes, she would mail the papers. Its been over a month and we still have nothing, she does not respond to messages and the her phone assistant is of no help either. We feel like we wasted our time and energy with multiple follow ups but are back at the same place we started. Don't waste your time, look for another attorney.

I emailed her no response I called her she didn’t return my call. After one week. I went to her office and asked her to file the motion for reconsideration. She said she had no time to do it. She would email the form to me and let me fill the form, she file it. I asked when she would email the form to me. She said today. That day was Tuesday. I finally received a email at 4:20 Thursday afternoon. She said please let me know if you want to file the motion for reconsideration ASAP, it’s due tomorrow. There was no form in the email. I emailed her back and fired her.

Mary's santor was hired for a medical malpractice suit. Every time we tried to reach her by phone or email she wouldn't answer us for 4 to 10 weeks. She would always tell us what she was going to do at each visit then 6 months later we would go back and she would say the same thing as 6 months ago. She had 3 to 4 years to find a expert witness and 5 days before court she called and said she hadn't found one. Judge dismissed case for not enough evidence.

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.
