Patrick was an absolute breath of fresh air. I needed legal advice for an employment dispute to protect my family business. I had been referred to and spoken with multiple other lawyers first, all of whom gave me conflicting, disconnected, unfruitful advice that left me more concerned than anything else. Like harvesters collecting wool from the sheep. When I finally spoke to Patrick, I had an immediate sense of relief. I connected and resonated with everything, he was telling me. Like I felt in my gut I could trust him, and I wasn't getting set up for an endless stream of payments. I believed he was giving me the same advice he would have given to a loved one, a son, a daughter, a friend...where he only wanted to help. He is exactly what the world needs more of. Thank you so much Mr. King, It is people like you who revive the hope for humanity in people like me. You are so very much Appreciated.

I have called Patrick King now 4 times to get advice on a difficult/emotional Divorce I'm going through. Each time I spoke with Mr. King he granted me great advice and direction free of charge?!! Who does this? No ONE, that's who! I've never felt this comfortable ever, with any Lawyer! Just a great person!! I love that he took the time, each time and wasn't in a hurry to get off the line. I highly recommend Patrick King! I also will be hiring Mr. King to set-up my Living Will.

The last thing a person needs to know in life is that they need an attorney. It is scary and stressful. When I called Patrick King, he helped me over the phone to resolve my issue. He never charged me for the phone advice and I think I called him 2 times about it. He told me how to construct a letter to send and he made me feel a lot better about the problem I was facing. I could have retained him as my attorney but he was trying to help me in any way he could so that I wouldn't have to. I hope if I ever need an attorney (which I hope not), I can use him to fight for me. He is the best!

While most attorneys either place you in touch with their assistant or aren't willing to spend more than 5 minutes of their time with you, John is there to guide every step of the way! He is a born leader and has a great team to complement his leadership. Selecting an attorney can be one of the toughest decisions ever, selecting John Rutledge will be your best decision ever!

I was in a disputed liability traffic incident and Silvia represented my case. The at-fault party exhausted about every avenue to prolong and drag the incident but the representation remained persistent considering this was not a large claims/sum case. As this took place, my own insurance company was pursued for not exercising my policy. Silvia and her team handled it all with complete transparency. I always knew what was taking place alongside the next steps moving forward. Every inquiry of mine was addressed as this was my first car accident/insurance claim with the stress of the at-fault denying liability -and I had many. The knowledge and professionalism was very re-assuring and I would certainly recommend and retain services again. All I had to do was get better.

I recently went through a messy divorce and needed some quick legal representation and Allison & Mackenzie came highly recommended. I called the office and I was directed to Mr. Daniel Judd we met and discussed my situation and during our meeting had a couple of melt downs . Daniel always made me feel reassured and I felt better after talking to him. He was always very professional and very empathetic towards my case. I highly recommend Daniel and Allison Mackenzie law firm. From day one anyone that I interacted with at the firm was pleasant and very professional and very kind (Daniel, Hannah and the nice lady at the front desk)
Thank you Daniel for all your hard work . Hopefully I will not need you again but if I do you’re the one I will be calling! ; )

I have worked with Daniel Judd quite a few times for a variety of family situations, and he has always been an immense help. He has also been nothing but friendly and understanding to my family while we struggled.
When my Dad was terminally ill, Judd managed to squeeze us in within the week to help draft a will for him, and he has once again been assisting us with the aftermath of my Dad’s passing. All of the appointments my family has made were scheduled within a week and a half, so there was no major wait time to get consultations.
Daniel Judd has also been very available and flexible in answering questions, which I greatly appreciate. I’m in my 20s and have never had to get an attorney, so it’s very helpful to have someone be patient and walk me through the process. He has also been available for advice relating to the next steps of our proceedings.
I highly recommend him!

Daniel Judd represented me on a very complicated divorce case that involved stalking. His previous law enforcement experience helped me navigate the complicated legal system, which directly improved my safety despite the challenging circumstances. His pragmatic advice ended up saving me money in the long run. His negotiations with the other party’s representation helped reach a fair conclusion, despite my ex husband’s vindictive emotional state. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Went to Carson city from Reno Nv, paid $50 for a 40min conversation. Jennifer seemed as she was not interested in my case nor myself. She barely gave any information and was really quiet like she did not want me there. With being overwhelmed during this time, Jennifer added to the stress. Would not recommend. Consultation only lasted 15/20min. The nice lady at the front desk gave me more information and comfort than she did. That’s the only reason why I showed up. Wish there was an option for 0 stars.

I am an out-ofstate retired attorney, but this office refuses to meet with me or answer questions about civil rights. This office authorized an unconstitutional arrest which resulted, of course, in an acquittal. This office is run by cowboy attorneys who sat for the easy to pass Nevada bar exam, NOT the hardest bar exam in the U S that I sat for. They would be disbarred in my home state.

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.
