The team at auger and auger went above and beyond to help me with my bodily injury case after my car accident. They walked me through a very difficult process, and remained very professional and showed great compassion. Hopefully I’m never in this situation again, but if that time ever comes, auger and auger will be my first call. Thank you again for all your help!

Brian Tatum did an absolutely amazing wonderful job for me and my family. He went above and beyond and gave my case 110% all the time! He thought of creative ideas to work through covid. He treated me and my family with the utmost respect and professionalism and yet at the same time like a friend. He got me justice. He listened and truly cared. I will forever be grateful of all he did for me. He stood up to a large insurance company and never backed down. He got me a large cash settlement. I would highly recommend Tatum law to anyone who is looking for Justice.

I needed Jasons Help with a business licensing agreement and a merchandising agreement I was asked to sign. I am so glad I asked him to look at them because he found several things that needed to be changed in my favor and the best interest of both parties. If I didn't have Jasons help, I could have signed these agreements that would have been a big problem if I ever needed to dispute something court with the agreements. Jason was great at explaining to me, and the other parties involved what and why the changes are necessary.

I cannot recommend Rob Blair and his staff enough. They exuded positivity and professionalism in every interaction.

Absolute Best Attorney around, I recently got myself into a whole mess of trouble and just to start before my court date we had issues with communication due to a phone breaking, and Mr. Litrenta never gave up and continued to try and contact me up until the night before my court date to inform me of my court date which saved my life because I forgot the date.
Second, I will never hire another attorney again, recently I had gotten myself into a whole mess of trouble and I was expecting the absolute worst possible outcomes, but with a phone call and a meeting or two we got everything figured out and instead of me walking out with a whole bunch of community service and probation on my head, I just walked out with some fees and it was all taken care of!!! These attorneys are the real deal and are really here to help you! If you're trying to pick and choose an attorney then this is the one you want, I promise.

Michael Hoard has been our family's attorney for over 10 years. He has handled many closings for several members of the family and each person was always completely satisfied with his work. When my husband became ill and we unable to attend a closing, I knew that Michael would and did handle this matter and he made sure all of our questions were answered. Whenever I contacted Michael and he was unavailable, I was confident that he would get back to me at his earliest convenience. Michael set up a trust for my husband and me and he explained the necessity of everyone protecting their assets no matter the size of their estate. I have always been able to contact Michael to ask legal questions and he never made me feel like a bother. He was always patient and informative about each topic we discussed. Michael would be an asset to any law firm, as I know you have learned. He will always be the attorney my family calls.

I worked with, and retained William Devore IV for a legal mess that I was in. I feel that his representation and consultation throughout the process exceeded my expecations. He helped streamline 2 different issues that I was having, whereupon one dealt with renters and the other my property management company. William is knowlegable, articulate and most importantly assertive with his handle on the law. He guided me along the right path and even went above the billable retainer to get my desired outcome. Hopefully, I won't need his services in the future, but if I am in a legal bind, I would have no thoughts about a different counsel.

Brian is an excellent attorney. He makes you feel that your case is the most important to him. Listens, takes notes, makes you feel at ease in talking with him. Very professional, explains what is happening and what to expect in the next steps of your case. Goes out of his way to do research on your case. He understands this is something I don't do for a living and explains and helps you understand the process of the case. Brian helped me with the estate of my Father and is helping me with the trust that he left which my family is protesting. We are still in the process of finalizing the trust and I have the confidence Brian will succeed in getting this case to a close.

We have an ongoing issue. It's complex because there are several parties involve and we're going through a juggling act.
We're waiting on Licensing board investigations but they are delayed and we have no time table as to when they will be finished. Yet the company that caused the issue is trying to push it to court before the investigations are finished and you really don't know what or when you are going to need the attorney. You come up with important decisions where you just need 2 questions answered.
Around here, you call just to try and find an attorney. Most won't even have a conversation long enough to make sure you're comfortable with their experience. No matter what your issue is they tell you they can do it and some even talk about money you can go after but you'll find out it was irrelevant.
These same attorneys are more interested in getting your credit card to get money right away versing making sure they can help you.
I had found one other lawyer on here that dealt with larger issues but he took the time to speak with me and told me what to do and when I needed to bring a lawyer in.
Today is that day so I started my search again. I was so fortunate to find Will DeVore.
Again, he answered several important questions today, advised on what to do next and when to bring him in.
It's so comforting when you get somebody on the phone that's interesting in hearing your problem and concerned about helping you versus hustling you out of your money.
Do yourself a favor, if a lawyer asked you for your credit card to talk to you or schedule an appointment to come in, walk away. Give somebody like Mr. DeVore’s office a call.
The prove they care about doing what’s best for everyone instead of just what’s best for themselves regardless.

REVIEW / TESTIMONIAL
Mr. Osborn was assigned by the Federal District Court in the Western District of North Carolina to represent me in a thorny case I was involved in under the Court’s pro se settlement program, which was instituted to mediate and settle cases like mine before they go through a full-blown court proceedings. I was very pleased with the program and comforted by the mettle of a sound lawyer and avid negotiator in my corner. I developed a strong sense of trust with Mr. Osborn after our initial phone conversation and a couple of follow up meetings. I was impressed by two things: 1. Mr. Osborn did what he said he will do - from negotiating with my opponents to the mediation and settlement of my case 2. He did it with ease and great rapport that I have never experienced before. If you can get him to say “yes” to negotiate or mediate your case, then you can count on it being done - the right way.

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.

It's important to clarify the fee structure with your attorney before hiring them to avoid any surprises.

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.
