Tiffany Evans was appointed as Guardian Ad Litem for my stepdaughters. Her report failed to address the particular issue leading to her appointment and disregarded a majority of the facts shared with her during a lengthy process of interviews. Additionally, it was the experience of numerous of those interviewed by her that she appeared disorganized to an unprofessional extent. We were the last case of Tiffany's before she left the firm for a magistrate position; it appeared that the report was rushed and reflected very poorly on her as well as the firm.

I am very grateful for Jeff Goodman’s representation. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs his service. He handled my dissolution in the most efficient and professional manner. Jeff has the most positive attitude and made the process as stress free as I could have possibly imagined.

Jeffrey is the absolute BEST attorney anyone could hire. I was referred to him by a friend and I am so grateful for everything Jeffrey did to help me.
My ex-fiancé who lived with me broke things off suddenly a month before the wedding and decided to make my life awful in the process.
When I reached out to Jeffrey, I was a new grad with a job offer lined up in the healthcare field. I had multiple licensure exams I had to pass within 6 weeks of graduation in order to keep my job. I contacted Jeffrey to help obtain a clean and mature break from my ex in order to avoid any future unpleasantries.
Jeffrey is great at communicating; he kept me updated during every step of the process in a way that didn’t stress me out. He was also very quick to respond to anything I needed. When I met him for the first time in person I quickly felt at ease. I could instantly tell that he is extremely knowledgeable in the practice of family law because he asked all of the right questions to assess my situation and he came prepared to our meeting with sections of the Ohio Revised Code printed out. After understanding my situation he explained the parts of the ORC that applied to my situation as well as how he planned to use them.
Jeffrey executed everything perfectly and got it all done within a week. Thanks to Jeffrey, I was able to obtain a clean break from my ex-fiancé and begin the healing process. I have since passed my exams, obtained my license, and I am doing better than I ever imagined possible.
If you are looking for the best attorney in the tristate, reach out to Jeffrey Goodman. All of my friends know to contact Jeffrey Goodman if they ever have any issues that a lawyer’s expertise would be beneficial in resolving.

Called legal aid because I'm low income and I'm being sued for a credit card debt. I was told legal aid no longer has the resources to help with debts. They referred me to other places, but of course you have to pay for those lawyers. Very scared to go to court looking like a fool with no representation. It's not their fault, but they were no help. It's sad how there's no one to help low income people when it's needed. At this point I feel hopeless.

GET THERE BEFORE 3:45pm OR GET A DOOR SLAMMED IN YOUR FACE.
I just had a terrible interaction with one of the clerks that works there that shut the door in my face, literally, I could have stuck my hand out to stop it, but I didn’t. So I knocked. I was informed they close at 3:45. “I don’t get paid after 4” is what she told me.
Their website says nothing about closing at 3:45pm. The person I talked to on the phone this morning said they’re open 8am - 4pm.
This has been a negative experience made especially awful thanks to an incredibly rude worker. I hope you can find better staff in the future.

My bro got hit by a car while he was on a motorcycle. He ended up stuck with hospital bills, barely got his lost wages, also ended up losing his job over the trauma he endured. Any other lawyer would have gotten him more then $20k which he ended up with $11k after all said and done. My opinion Paul can't hackett, find a better lawyer from the beginning. He's probably working with the chiropractor too. Didnt make it as a coach not much better as a lawyer.. figured I'd make a more recent review then the ones I seen from 3 to 5 years ago.

Ivan Tamarkin Destroyed my life by losing a discrimination/retaliation case against my employer. He left important evidence behind, allowed individuals from the City to testify without knowing what they were going to say. He did not properly defend me at all. It was a DEVASTATING LOSS. My family and I have suffered greatly!

Mr. Ivan Tamarkin, and his staff are exceptionally professional and courteous! He was there for every question, around every turn. I HIGHLY recommend him for legal counsel and representation. If your looking to put the law on your side, and have someone knowledgeable who actually cares about the person, look no further! He personally made a conceivably horrible experience relatively stress free... couldn't be happier!

Eliot says one thing and does another which is why I would not recommend him. This tends to be the case with a lot of lawyers, you pay for what you get! He's not aggressive either, so if your wanting a lawyer to fight for you the day you hire him, look elsewhere.

Highly Skilled, Strong Character, Veteran Experience, Highly Respected within the Legal Field
It is with the upmost gratitude that I recommend Eliot G. Bastian, RN, Esq., and his trusted paralegal assistant, Cindy Luken, at the law offices of Caparella-Kraemer and Associates, LLC.!
I did not retain Eliot for the purpose of bankruptcy or foreclosure. Instead, I needed to hire an attorney for the protection of my ex-husband’s filing Chapter-13 bankruptcy on our marital assets, including that of “surrounding our home over to the bank.”
Eliot was recommended to me by a close friend and confidant. She knew it was imperative that I hire an expert attorney who was savvy about business and financial law. She also knew the importance of hiring an attorney who had strong ethical values and who wasn’t afraid to affirm their sworn legal oath; to uphold the law and protect the client even during the most adversarial times.
Eliot Bastian, RN, Esq., is an expert in Business and Bankruptcy Litigation, Healthcare Law, and Criminal Defense. Eliot has successfully managed his career by expanding his network to include that of attorneys outside his cohort. This was an extreme benefit to my case since Eliot’s partnership expands to that of collaborating with attorneys, who represent national banks, and their client’s best interest.
It is because of Eliot’s veteran experience that I was awarded the deed to the home (the home which my son and I live) as well as the successful re-modification of my home mortgage. Most impressively, Eliot was able to achieve all of this without litigating in either federal or state court.
My case was contentious and met with many unique challenges. However Eliot and Cindy handled every concern with resolve! I am beyond impressed with how they managed my case and for what they did to help me get through this process! Their team has outstanding synergism!
Both their professional and personal values are what protected my son and I. As a mother I will forever be indebted for their investment in my son and his future. My son is safe and protected.
I’m thankful for my friend’s recommendation of Eliot Bastian, Courtney Caparella, LLC., Cindy Luken, their legal team and staffed professionals.
Most Sincerely,
Christina

After 18 months of hiring Mr. Heingardner he repeatedly asked me to file a 41(a). He and an associate of his did not file a form with the courts in time and my case could have been dismissed with or without prejudice. On several other occasions I could not get him to return phone messages, emails, and text messages. In some instances it took several months. On another occasion he had paperwork from the opposing side for several months that he did not forward to me on time and then he did telling me I had to have it done ASAP!!
Not much communication, does not handle paperwork in a timely fashion, and did not do much research for the case which I had to do.
All in all I would not recommend this attorney period. He didn't even tell me the truth about the missed filing of the paperwork OR apologize!

Mr. Stepner was hired in refferance to an eassment. My deed did not show or refferance an eassment. After approx. 4 months and $30,000 later I belive he steel could not under stand after reviewing and reviewing the case what was happening. I then had to get another Law firm to handle the case on by behalf. I belive that I was billed for time not spent on my case.

I believe Mr. Stepner knew nothing about my case. He had to keep reviewing the files. When I would refer to an incident that was in the file he didn't know what I was referring to. I believe he was reviewing my case file so he could charge more money. I would never use this lawyer again. I dismissed him and retained another lawyer for the same case. My new lawyer did not charge as much. Plus with my new lawyer we won our case.

Had abad experience with a paralegal and a new attorney that took over my mother’s case. The way I was talked to and then when I made a complaint no one returned the phone call. Had documents drawn up in 2022 then in 2023 I called to make sure nothing needed updated and was blown off. Now that there is a death in the family paperwork that should had been filled out was not and the one thing I was trying to avoid PROBATE I still have to go through because for some reason they didn’t think to fill out transfer on death. They told me it would be an additional retainer of 2000 to help me fill out any paperwork. With me being upset the attorney I think her name is Chelsea told me to contact the attorney who doesn’t even work there anymore. I thought I was a client of your law firm . She said you can still call her. Paid over 2000 to have very simple paperwork drawn up and for some reason the car was forgotten and if I want help it will be an additional 2000. And I called a year later to make sure nothing needed to be updated. That’s where I have the problem. I was blown off. Maybe it’s my skin tone or the estate is small. The main reason this firm was hired because I wanted to prevent property from going in probate. But here I am money spent and still going to east 9 th street which is stressful while planning a funeral

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.
