My experience with this law firm has been very positive. Joseph Garfunkel goes above and beyond. When we first met, he was easy to talk to, and my nerves quickly disappeared, because he was so down-to-earth, friendly, understanding, and I could tell he genuinely cared about his work and his clients. He is always prepared, highly knowledgeable, professional, upfront about costs, and he is open and honest about the pros and cons of your situation. I highly recommend Joey and this law firm. If you are in need of legal assistance, I suggest you schedule a consultation and see for yourself how well you will be taken care of by this group.

I contacted Lee for a consultation and he was wonderful in assisting me with a potential business litigation and labor law conflict I had. I have not yet moved forward. There were some other emails they sent me and time they spent understanding my case that they waived their fee on. Highly recommend.

Last year I closed over 70 real estate sales, and unless my buyer has a preferred attorney, my recommendation in NC is Mary Ashley. Her paralegal, Karen Carpenter is excellent and they give personalized ultra efficient service. They go the extra mile on behalf of my clients and make sure that all issues are resolved and everything is completed in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Mary's services.

I was recommended the Ashley Law Firm by my real estate agent and I’m glad we took his suggestion. Our real estate closing came with significantly more hurdles than most typical closings. Mary Ashley went above and beyond to ensure our closing went smoothly and as planned. She took the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions related to additional items specific to our closing. She was friendly, diligent, and professional. If you are considering the Ashley Law Firm to handle your RE closing, look no further.

I originally emailed 11 attorneys on this site. Mr. Wells was one of two that responded. The other attorney wanted a consultation fee and an additional fee for going over my paperwork. He has the caring-can do attitude that everyone needs. It is very hard to find a good attorney, I know. But look no more because he's your guy! :)
And no I did not get paid for this. He is just that awesome! :)

Unsatisfactory experience with Heidi as a parent coordinator. Listens to react and not to understand. In a year as PC she has been unable to resolve any issues and lacks the organization to keep track of or manage any outstanding issues. If you question her billable hours she will falsify statements in her motion that she knows to be untrue. Would not recommend as a PC and certainly not to represent as an attorney.

From the first conversation I had with Sabrina, my instincts told me she was the right person to bring into my extremely complicated custody case. The case dragged on for almost two years finally ending in a final custody trial. Sabrina was my counsel for each step of the way. Sabrina and I were able to work together as a team to navigate each step across a very challenging road. Sabrina has the ability to listen, organize strategy, and execute a plan. She possesses only positive energy and is dynamic when appropriate. While there are many examples I could refer to throughout this long process, where i was absolutely most impressed was over the course of the 11 hour trial. Sabrina's level of preparation was outstanding. She also possesses a masterful ability to think very quickly and multi task during a live trial. Her ability to be creative is also excellent, which is highly necessary when trying to manage the rules of the courtroom. Her level of skill when cross examining is second to none. She was able to take a case that is of the most challenging type possible and expose the truth in the most surprising way. My expectations were beyond exceeded! I could not have asked for a better result. The decision to partner with Sabrina blain as my attorney, turned out to be the absolute correct decision.

I’ve had a very disappointing experience with this law firm. Despite multiple attempts, Matt Malone has not responded to my emails or phone calls. They made an error on a deed, and now they are refusing to correct their mistake. The lack of communication and accountability is extremely unprofessional. I would not recommend their services—save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

Rude behavior. Called him via my legal plan for a minor traffic violation and he said "yeah, I don't do that anymore, trying to get out of that business". I asked why and he hung up on me. I called back and he said he didn't know why he was listed, he had tried to get off that.
Basically not a good person and based on reviews, I see why his rating is so low.
Steer clear.

Just had another seamless closing with Hunter & Chandler. This time it was for a super complicated estate situation. The communication was second to none. I've been working with Rinda for YEARS and was so glad when she moved to Hunter & Chandler. Super convenient location, and everyone that works there is so welcoming and helpful. But then you have that one paralegal who truly carries the entire deal and treats it so personally every time. Never an issue that Rinda can't calm me down on. Truly... she always makes me look like a rockstar to my clients. Thank you Hunter & Chandler and especially Rinda!

Recently closed on the sale of our home this week. Rinda, the paralegal, placed an order through Homewise for our HOA payoff and incorrectly input the property address, and only notified us of the “processing error” two days before closing. Homewise will not refund us the full amount of the first fee we paid because of the error. Rinda became immediately defensive and claimed that Homewise made the error, but Homewise as very clear on the fact that they rely on the information supplied to them during the placement of the order and cannot modify it. Then, Rinda even had the audacity to blame me for paying for the order and not catching her error. But, she’s “been doing this for 20 years” and “knows what she’s doing”, so I guess she never makes mistakes and owns up to them. Very unprofessional behavior. We do a lot of real estate business and will never use this firm on either the buy or sell side.

My experience with the Noble Law Firm was first class from start to finish. From the first conversation I had with Alex Kelly, the attorney who handled my case, I knew I was in good hands. He is highly intelligent, extremely well-versed in employment/labor law, and he communicates in a clear and timely manner. He has a way of explaining complex topics in layman’s terms and I felt very clear about the case and the legal activities along the journey.
Even though the reason for reaching out to the Noble Law Firm was based on a series of stressful events, having effective representation and working with Attorney Kelly, who truly cared about my case, did make the journey a little better. I am pleased with the resolution of my case, and I KNOW it would not have been resolved as successfully without the support and effective counsel the Noble Law Firm provided.

I called and talked to intake lady by the name of Alyssa. She took down my basic information but we never discussed my case. She told me an attorney would be reaching out to me to discuss the case. I also received an email stating the same thing. I waited all day for an attorney to contact me but nobody did. And of course I got an email after business hours to say they declined to represent me, How is that possible since I never even talked to an attorney. So I called back the next morning and was told by another intake lady that she had no information on why I was turned down and that I could not talk to an attorney. It would of been nice to hAve an attorney contact me personally to say why I was turned down but instead they took the cowardly way out by sending an automated email.

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.
