They are the absolute best ever. Hardworking, dedicated, passionate, and detail oriented. I came to Bilal Jaloudi after my car accident. He was able to settle my civil lawsuit for the full policy limit with the insurance company in less than 11 months. He took my calls and texts messages at any hour of the day. You don’t get this type of service at any law firm and got me the maximum policy amount in no time when I needed it most.

I had never met Mr. Kim before he became my attorney. I have dealt with my fair share of attorneys but my experience with him is by far the most appreciated yet. This man is helping my family and I keep our home when we were supposed to be homeless. He has such a genuine heart and cares about the well-being of his clients. I feel blessed to have him helping me during this tough time and working with me. May God richly bless this man!

Mr. Zoecklein, I just wanted to write a letter of appreciation for your services. I was very happy with the outcome of the case. I am glad to have put this behind me and now can move forward with my wedding. I was extremely nervous about this issue, it was weighing on me heavily. I think that you did an outstanding job. I do not understand all that happens in a court room, everything seems to move very fast and when your nervous as I was it doesn't help. You were certainly able to keep me calm and confident. I certainly will recommend you. I also will use you for any future matters that may arise. Once again, thank you so much for all your help. Respectfully, Vincent

I hired Alex to represent me against a terroristic threat charge; brought by my former spouse who has routinely attempted to abuse the system in order to gain an advantage in alimony, custody and other disputes in our divorce. Alex immediately recognized the risks which accompanied these false allegations : loss of employment, difficulty finding future employment, loss of parental rights and custody…. along with the potential of jail time and the forfeiture of my 2nd amendment rights. Because of his deep understanding of the criminal justice system, having been a former prosecutor, he understood all of the tactics that the prosecutors would use and thwarted them at every turn. His attention to detail and deep knowledge of the law e abled him to highlight serious deficiencies in the prosecutions case and through the use of established legal precedent was able to have the indictment against me dismissed prior to trial. Suffice to say, the outcome has been what I anticipated based on the baseless allegations- but it was no sure thing. Further, the execution of his craft isn’t what set Alex apart; it is his passion for his clients rights and dedication to my cause. He had every opportunity to encourage me to accept a plea deal- but he didn’t. He not only took the time to truly understand and the underlying facts and circumstances- but the implications and became a true advocate against the miscarriage of justice I was facing. In doing so, Alex was thoughtful and courteous, available at anytime to answer questions. He never disappeared for kk g stretches while the process played out- keeping me informed of his efforts and soliciting my inputs. Alex also worked to assuage my fears and concerns and put me at ease in what’s been a four year saga. Suffice to say, I would strongly encourage anyone seeking an attorney to start and end their search with Alex. I know, as I’m expecting additional malicious and false allegations, I will being hiring Alex without any hesitation.

Dennis was extremely professional. And worked around our very hectic schedules. He made sure that we understood every part of the contract and really went out of his way to help us. He is very kind and will answer all of your questions in full detail and will literally find the littlest thing on a contract. He basically saved us from making a bad Financial decision and basically losing thousands of dollars on home inspections And other things regarding the purchase of the home we were looking at. Also, He really was very blunt and honest and took our best interest at heart and was not looking just to make a buck Into something that wasn’t right for us. I recommend everybody to him and I will be using him in the future for sure. He is really a great real estate lawyer!

I’ve worked with both Robert and Scott over the last two years on my case! Due to some complexities of my case and nuances, I feel that it took some extra time. However they were in touch with me the entire time, and I was not never left wondering what’s going on. In the end they gave me options of which way we can proceed and completely left it in my hands and I feel the conclusion of my case was fair and upon its conclusion, I never regretted reaching out to Grossman law first. I definitely would wholly recommend them for injury representation.

We had the pleasure of working with Chris as our lawyer for the purchase of our second investment property, and our experience was exceptional. Compared to our previous lawyer, Chris brought a breath of fresh air to the process with his professionalism, responsiveness, and proactive approach. From the outset, Chris impressed us with his responsiveness and availability. Whether during work hours, after hours, or even on weekends, Chris was consistently reachable, ensuring that we were always kept informed and reassured throughout the entire process. Chris's professionalism was evident in every interaction we had with him. He approached our transaction with the utmost integrity and diligence, leaving no stone unturned to protect our interests and ensure a smooth process from start to finish. During negotiations, Chris's assertiveness and commitment to securing the best possible outcome for us as buyers were remarkable. He approached negotiations aggressively, yet strategically, ensuring that we left no meat on the bone and securing a deal that exceeded our expectations. Beyond his legal expertise, Chris's positive demeanor and approachable nature made it a pleasure to work with him. The seamless collaboration between Chris and our realtor was instrumental in achieving the best possible deal for us. Their synergy ensured that all aspects of the transaction were handled with precision and efficiency. We would not hesitate to work with him again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone in need of legal representation for any real estate transactions.

I retained Dan to write a demand letter to a neighbor who was encroaching on my property. The letter was very thorough and detailed, and it included some wording I'd requested, and the overall tone was sending a strong message. And I don't want to make promises for him, seeing as I don't know how busy he may get, but in my case he wrote and sent out the letter the day after I had retained him. The letter was successful, as the neighbor adhered to the demand down to the letter. Another thing worth mentioning is that Daniel is very responsive, always replying to my emails in quick fashion. I am very pleased with my dealings with him and his firm and will not hesitate to retain him and refer him to others in the future.

I've been using this Firm for the past 10 years. Dan is very knowledgeable in various areas of law. I've used him for everything from real estate to family law and even litigation when a customer refused to pay me for a job I did for them. He helped me with a couple of traffic tickets and my grandparents Will and subsequent probate application. I won't use anyone else. He even works with other attorneys so I never have to look anywhere else for exceptional legal help. He really is a one stop shop for all things legal. He's always very warm and inviting when I call or visit the office. His staff is amazing. I really can't say enough good things about this guy and they way he conducts business. I would never trust anyone else for my legal needs. Keep up the good work Dan!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
