Adam Kalish is the hardest working attorney I have ever dealt with and I use him for all of my real estate needs now. He is a problem solving, out of the box, pragmatic attorney who knows how to efficiently work through issues and bring things to a close without breaking the bank. He is super sharp and goes over and beyond the call of duty. The service and value I receive is second to none.

I retained Adam upon recommendation from my cousin for a real estate matter. He was professional, responsive and answered all of my questions thoroughly and accurately. We went to court and won! I was in the right and certainly should have won! But, I truly credit the win to him.
Adam was thorough and patient. His fees were reasonable and ultimately, money well spent. I highly recommend him as an attorney.

OMG, what can I say? Lorraine was an angel sent to me during a crisis. She helped me navigate all these complex laws that can make an ordinary person feel super scared and paralyzed. She spent so much time going through all the paperwork, providing various solutions and ideas on how to deal with it.
Despite my limited budget, she was kind enough to show me how to maximize my budget while still taking care of everything legally. I really, really appreciate her help and highly recommend her for any of your issues. She not only helps you but genuinely makes you feel supported. That meant the world to me. Thanks again, Lorraine!

Brett was beyond generous with his time and knowledge when I contacted the firm for domain advice. He phoned me back within 10 minutes and spent 20 minutes giving me legal advice in my free consult. He was an absolute hero for me and my small business. Although I didn’t go through with working with them, (because of his genuine legal counsel) I was extremely impressed by his kindness and quick response execution on getting me answers I’ve been waiting weeks for online. Thank you Brett!

Nate was one of the most professional and courtesy attorneys I ever had a pleasure to work with. I did not have to ask questions he was already on top of things. I am so glad he handled the sell and the purchase of my new home. Thank you for being one of the best and standing by your name. Nate advised what was best for my family and me. He assured me everything will be ok with confidence. I was selling and had to have time in between before my purchase. He gave me great legal as well as personal advise. I would recommend him 20 times over. Very trusting. Thank You Nate.

We hired Will Gillen as we were selling our coop in Bay Ridge, and had a wonderful experience with him and his associate, Christina Fratangelo. We interviewed 4 attorney’s and knew right away we wanted to retain Will. He was quick to respond (available by phone, text, email), answered all of our questions, and when we ran into some delays on our buyers side, Will stepped in to make sure we had a smooth closing.
I would definitely recommend Will Gillen!

I HIGHLY recommend Judy Mock for your estate planning needs.
Judy is highly efficient, communicative, and detail oriented. She's super-intense about the process and everything that you'll need to do on your end, but that's what you want in a lawyer, right?!
She made the whole process so easy, and sent us home with all of our documents in a cute and easy to locate estate planning file.
Her pricing is completely transparent and you know what you're getting into. Judy never tried to upsell us on services that we didn't need and explained the processes so well.
Now, the only thing left for us to do is die!

Mr. Reinhardt was perfection. On our first contact over the phone he was well spoken very informative and gave us very good advice. At our closing he was punctual and very well dressed. He was very professional and kind to us he took his time explaining each and every contract we were signing. Also took extra time to explain some other questions I had about the property and some tax questions I had. After the closing he made himself available if we had any other questions or any problems with the property. I would not only recommend his services but he got a client with me for life.

I am very happy with his job.

When I came to Paul for a consultation, my landlord was asking me for enormous amount of money for surpassingly breaching the lease. Paul renegotiated the lease with a landlord, successfully defending my rights. As a result, my arrears went down from $18,500 to practically nothing. And then, Paul helped to draft a new lease, negotiated it with a landlord's attorney. We entered into a new lease on a much more clearer terms. Thank you, Paul.

Gary helped us buy and close on our first ever home in Brooklyn. It was an intense, confusing, and intimidating process that often left us stressed and unsure, but Gary was always incredibly kind, patient, reassuring, and responsive, and it made it a lot better.

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.
