Daryle and the entire team at Tibbs Law Office helped me during one of the most important family matters I’ve ever had to deal with.
I absolutely adore Daryle Tibbs. I can’t imagine feeling any more confident during my case with her by my side. Daryle is extremely professional and thorough with her work. I never once felt unprepared working with her.
I also need to shout out that as a gay man seeking child custody, Daryle and her team were extremely supportive and experienced in my case.
I 100% recommend this firm and this amazing group of women.
I’m hopeful that I will not need legal representation again, but I do know that I will reach out to Tibbs Law Office if anything changes.
SO thankful to Daryle Tibbs and her entire team for making such a crazy process less daunting and painful.

Daryle Tibbs prepared an updated will for us and we received excellent service. The process was very streamlined and clearly presented and fees were discussed up front. When we met to review the final product Daryle’s explanations were concisely presented and she answered all off our questions satisfactorily. We have already recommended her services to others which is the best testament to the legal service she provided.

Jon Cameron was very thorough in representing my daughter in an assault case. When the prosecuting witness didn't show up for court, Mr. Dameron got our case dismissed.

Mr. Dameron impressed me in multiple ways. From the start, he consulted us on what to expect - the possible outcomes of the cases, the process to anticipate from the justice system, and the cost to retain his services. At each point, Mr. Dameron was down-to-earth, friendly, and professional. I felt his knowledge and his compassion. He answered all our questions and always made time for us. I felt informed when we made decisions and was thrilled at the outcome of the criminal case!

John has a very thorough understanding of the methods and laws surrounding a variety of situations. Consulting him on short notice and with very little time to grasp an understanding of the options that were available for me in my situation, he was patient and kind. He provided a couple options as well as the repercussions of each so that I could make an informed decision about what was the right solution for me. He also provided some reading material so that I could be a better informed client; and in doing so, he pointed out and allayed my concerns that were irrelevant to the case at hand. Because he is a very knowledgeable lawyer with more than one area of expertees, I have already added him to my Rolodex contacts shortlist so that I can come back to him quickly and easily should the need arise for me to consult or engage him in future. You are one lawyer to whom I can now confidently say "I Trust You", Thank you John. (I should hope we never have to meet again, but if we do, I appreciate you and your skills as a lawyer.)

I was looking at purchasing a home with an IRS tax lien on it. John took the time and went over the pros and cons of going through the process of purchasing the home. I am still considering the options, but if I decide to follow through with the purchase, I will continue to work with John. As a matter of fact, I will continue to work with John on all legal issues within his expertise. He is a good man. Thank you.

John is an excellent lawyer who will go above and beyond in representation of his clients. He is accessible, knowledgable and direct. He will not mislead. John is what you would call a "straigh shooter" who tells it like it is. If you find a need for crimal defense, car accident claims or landlord tenant issues, don't hesitate to contact John. If you have a solid claim, he will get you solid results.

Anand was one of the best lawyers I've ever worked with on any Real Estate transaction. As a realtor/broker he knew every aspect of the industry. I had a large transaction that would have fallen apart but Anand knew exactly how my team should proceed. There are ALOT of lawyers out there, but he is one of the great ones!

Jonathan is incredibly knowledgeable and we'll versed legally. He is by far the best lawyer I have ever dealt with and there have been quite a few. He is not my favorite because he is nice. I have been upset with him more than once. This was because he was honest with me and I was unhappy with what he was telling me. Jonathan is fair and honest. Finding that in a lawyer is rare.

I have frankly not had good experiences with lawyers in the past. Jonathan is the exception to the rule. He worked with me on a custody case that could have been prolonged, painful and expensive. Yet his depth of knowledge, breadth of experience and strategic thinking led to an outcome that was as optimal as I could have hoped for and quickly brought to a conclusion. And, on top of that, he is one of the most ethical people I have met. *Gasp* - yes, I did put those two things together: 'ethical' and 'lawyer'. I highly recommend him and am thankful he was recommended to me.

I have worked with small firms and large firms in my professional carer and I wouldn't give many a positive review. Jonathan is one of the exceptions. Mr Smith guided me through a process with advice that saved me a lot of time and money. He put it in prospective and outlined potential outcomes in layman terms. We got the job done quick and without pain. He is man of reason and integrity that I would highly recommended to anyone seeking legal advice. He might even change my opinion on lawyers.

Jesse Taylor was a very professional and knowledgeable young man. This was my first time ever going to court and the first time I’ve ever had to hire a lawyer. He was very understanding with my lack of knowledge about how the whole system works and took his time to explain to me in detail what I needed to do and when I needed to do things. My case was completed swiftly and I even got a lesser charge than what I was initially expecting. Overall I am extremely happy with the services provided by my lawyer.

I was given mr laux number from another law firm when I called seeking advise about a landlord eviction. MR Laux answered the phone very quickly and was very patient with me as I asked for answers to some eviction questions. Mr Laux is not like most lawyers you speak to whom wants money to even answer a question. He was very straight forward in explaining to me the answer to my questions, He was very honest in how he responded also. Before contacting Mr luax I had contacted 6 other law firms with the same question and even paid a 15.00 fee for five of them to get nothing but a simple" it all depends". Or i would be glad to represent you for a fee of 175 00 down today Nd the other 300 before court". MR Laux actually told me that I should not need a lawyer if I had the things I said I had. He Advised me to be at court early, not late not on time " early" with all my evidence printed out for judge to see. He also let me know if I was short on funds or could not afford a attorney and felt I still needed one I could call legal aid, or H.o.m.e and provided the numbers. So I'm letting everyone know if you want a intelligent very knowledgeable attorney to fight for you he is your man!!!!! Thank you so much Greg laux you don't even know how much you helped me with the info I was given in the 10 minutes we talked.

I would highly recommend Greg Laux as an attorney.
I recently had some questions for him regarding some work being done to my property. He was able to review the situation and thoroughly answer my questions and concerns to my relief. Greg always puts his clients first. He is accessible and takes the time to fully understand your situation. I would highly recommend him to any prospective clients.

Melanie currently handles all of my eviction and tenant/landlord disputes. I have seen her use both the carrot and the stick and she has advised me when to do the same. Every time we have to go to court I bombard her with questions afterwards, she is always ready with answers or other ideas and has a wealth of knowledge that I know I will continue to benefit from. As we continue to work together she is gaining more knowledge of my business and continues to make suggestions as it grows. She has taken considerable stress off of my shoulders knowing that she is only a question away.

Mr. Ganson is the best. I have had him as a attorney since 1995. I have referred him to others, who have been more than satisfied. I you want someone who is going to go above and beyond and be honest with you about your case, he is the one. He is honest and down to earth. He explains everything going on, keeps you very well informed and does nothing without your input. This man is the greatest. He is honest enough to let you know if you have a case or not. He is not trying to milk you for money. I will never use anyone else but him. He still has passion for what he does.

I called Jeremiah when I got charged with my first OVI. He was very polite and actually listened to what I was going through. He did not try and sell me on why I should choose him. He asked pertinent questions and was straight forward with me telling me all possible outcomes. He told me his price and allowed me to shop around for other lawyers if I wanted without being pushy or a salesmen. I ended up going with him because he seemed genuine. I had never been through anything like this and it’s not a quick overnight process. When you are going through something like this a ton of questions pop up in your head and whether I called, emailed, or texted him with questions he always got back to me with a direct answer. Every ovi case and situation is different and outcomes may vary but I ended up getting charges reduced with no license suspension or points on my license. While a lot of the legal system is a cash grab, if you get caught up in a bad situation like I did, I would highly recommend giving Jeremiah a call.

I work for the courts so I've seen dozens of attorneys at work. I can say with complete confidence that Mr. Rust is significantly more prepared than anyone I've seen on civil cases. He covered a personal real estate issue for us. He forced the plaintiff to admit insufficient cause for their financial demands. I hope we don't have a future need for representation, but if we do I would choose Mr. Rust again and again.

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.
