Where to begin?! In June of 2019 I was placed in a very scary legal situation during my professional career. I reached out to Attorney Mark Sherman and his team to help fight for me and get me through. Both Attorney Mark Sherman and Attorney Amanda Telesco were nothing but phenomenal. From the moment I called the office I felt at ease. They were kind, compassionate, understanding, non-judge mental, and most of all realistic. I made several trips to the office in Stamford. All of these trips were welcoming and helped put me at ease. Mark and Amanda sat with me, went over all the details of the case, explained everything to me, and assured me they would do everything in their power to fight for a positive outcome. As we all know, the legal system is slow. But during the 16+months I worked with Mark and Amanda, they kept me abreast of the entire case and the direction it was moving. I received phone calls, emails and at one point they even met with me in my area of the state. In September of 2020 I received the call that I had long awaited. Attorney Sherman called me and informed they fought hard and the case resolved in the manner we had hoped for. In an instant, my whole life changed for the better and I felt like my old self. So many times I felt like giving up and giving in. Attorney Sherman encouraged me to stay the course and let he and Attorney Telesco do what they do best. I am sure glad I listened! Without their hard work, compassion, knowledge and experience, I wouldn’t have received the positive outcome I knew should come! I am forever grateful to Attorneys Mark Sherman and Amanda Telesco. If you are faced with a legal or DCF dilemma, I STRONGLY encourage you to call Attorney Sherman’s office.

Greg was one of just a few people who actually helped me out while I struggle in a messy legal battle with my ex and he not only spent time with me over the phone twice he also met with me to review my case and didn't expect or charge me a dime. He was up front and honest about everything and very professional. He could have easily convinced me to give him 1000 dollars as some attorneys would have done knowing how the situation would end. His advice essentially told me what to do. He is definitely a stand up guy. His compassion hit home for me. I would absolutely recommend him and I would use him in the future. thanks Greg Marc

Attorney Einhorn and his legal staff have been nothing less than stupendous in every effort. Our family used Einhorn Law Office for a real estate closing several years ago. The process was entirely seemless and we felt extremely comfortable and informed through the process. On two other recent and separate occasions I had referred Attorney Einhorn to a family member for legal council regrading traffic violation and in another situation a friend for a slip and fall case. Attorney Geoff represented clients in court multiple times and the outcomes were the desired result each time. I cannot express enough how much we appreciate Attorney Einhorn and his knowledgeable legal staff. My wife and I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Einhorn Law firm to any family member or friend. Before you go anywhere else, go here first.

Caring for an aging parent is an honor....but also one of the most stressful life events one can face. When my sisters and I were met with the challenges of conservatorship and moving mom into a residential facility our stress levels were understandably high. We found ourselves in unchartered waters. Atty. Mangan's representation eased some of that stress as we navigated through the process. He handled the 'legalities' efficiently allowing us to focus our attention on mom's care. We knew we were in good hands. We greatly appreciated his experience, confidence, and professionalism. We highly recommend Atty. Mangan and wouldn't hesitate to retain his services again.

I hired Conrad as my attorney for the sale of my home and the purchase of a new home. He did a great job in both instances however with the buying process he went more than above and beyond. I worked with what ended up being a very complicated and unorganized lender and Conrad and his team worked more than overtime to accommodate all their, at times, excessive requests. An example of the extra work put in by Conrad was going to the town hall after business hours in order to record the deed. I can honestly say I do not feel I would have been able to close on my house in the timeline I did if it were not for Conrad. My family was out of a home and we were in desperate need to close and be able to move into our new home and Conrad and his team work tirelessly to ensure we were able to close as quickly as possible. If I could give more than 5 stars I would and I wholeheartedly recommend Conrad as an attorney.

Richard Lamere served as our attorney during our recent home sale in Hamden, CT. The process turned very interesting when our buyers informed us several hours before the closing that they (quote) "didn't have the money". This led to a tense afternoon, during which we had no idea if we would in fact be able to sell (and thus be able to buy on our schedule closing date for our new house, four days later). But he came through, dealing with the our buyers and their attorney in a way that made it clear that we weren't going to accept any last-minute maneuvers of this sort. The closing went through as scheduled, and a lot of the credit has to go to Richard and all the hard work he put in. Highly recommended.

Attorney Readyoff represented us in a LL/tenant matter (as property owners) and we are confident his careful and measured approach was crucial in the matter being resolved quickly and without complication. I was angry about the issue we brought to him, and without judgement of my emotions, he suggested a solution that initially seemed very procedural to me, but we fully committed to his recommendation. Once he started the process, things changed drastically with the tenant. In ways, it appeared very little happened, but it made all the difference: we regained possession of the property. He never personally contacted the tenant and reminded us not to engage them. Such matters are never comfortable, but Dan's professionalism and graciousness toward everyone made things manageable. I really respect the way he handled this matter, and I appreciate the outcome. We are grateful for Attorney Readyoff's help.

This was a liability claim against my company and this is what they specialize in. The money was well worth it and reasonable. Thanks to his services, I paid $0 to prosecutor's client and Chris had my insurance pay the entire balance where they were refusing with previous attorneys. This case has obviously brought a tremendous amount of stress to me and my employees and we are forever grateful for them taking the time to analyze the details when it really mattered. Don't waste your time or money with anyone else when faced with this kind of lawsuit.

Ward Mazzucco is a highly knowledgeable and capable attorney with excellent people skills. Ward handled a highly contentious case for us, and though our own emotions sometimes got in the way of resolving the issue, it was Ward's calm and deliberate manner that achieved the results we had hoped for. No one is ever happy to be involved in litigation, but Ward Mazzucco's professional approach and knowledge of Connecticut law made for an outcome that couldn't have been better for us. I can't think of another attorney I would rather use.

I had a wonderful experience working with Scott Carlson, or as I know him, Scott. From day one he knew exactly the in's and the out's of everything that pertained to my case. I was thoroughly impressed with the knowledge he had of law and he was very professional. My case went on for a long time, not due to Scott, but due to the insurance company he was dealing with. Even though sometimes it felt like I would never get any resolution, Scott always made me feel assured, like he knew just what to do. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the hard work that went into my case. I was more than happy with the outcome of everything. I couldn't have done it without an experienced and skilled lawyer on my side. I was time and time again amazed at how well he knew the "tricks" the insurance company were trying to do. When it comes to an injury that isn't your fault, it can seem like a helpless situation regarding the insurance companies. Scott has the experience and knowledge to know exactly what to do when under pressure. I highly, highly reccomend working with Scott. He is not only very professional but very personable and friendly. I feel like he genuinely cared about helping me.

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.
