Stephen is by far the best real estate lawyer I have ever come across. I recently bought a house that took me more than 7 months to close. Just days before the scheduled initial closing, the bank took the property from the owner which meant the house was foreclose and was offered as a short sale. Stephen, stood by me knowing that I wanted the property. he encourage me, reached out to the other party's attorney to ensure the short sale process was sped up. At the end I got the key to the property with many thanks to the selfless help of Stephen. He is very indispensable and I was able to reach him at work, though his cell phone even at his home phone. This is my second dealing with Stephen, he help closed my first home which I sold in 2018 and now to my new home. I will highly recommend with Stephen.

Paul is always available to discuss any questions you may have and goes above and beyond the call of duty. Rest assured that you are in good hands. Paul and his team are truly the best in the business. I highly recommend Attorney Kaplan- You would be crazy not to use him!

We used Paul Kaplan's office to sell our house in New Haven. We had relocated across country before we had a chance to sell it, so we had to sell it remotely. Fortunately, we found some wonderful people to buy it and could do a for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) transaction, but we needed a capable seller's attorney's office to handle all the paperwork for us. The entire transaction was as smooth as it could possibly be. Paul's office was very competent. We gave Paul a limited power-of-attorney to handle the transaction for us. Aside for a last minute scurry to find a notary public here (hint: use Yelp) here, there really weren't any problems at all. Anytime I had any questions at all, I knew that I could call Paul or toss him an e-mail and he'd call me right back. After closing, Paul's office wired the balance of funds as soon as they settled the books (one business day!). Because of wire fraud, they were careful to make sure I was really me, and my bank account was really mine, which I appreciated. Over all, I couldn't have been happier. Well, I could have been. I would have liked to have shaked the hands of Paul and his team for doing such a great job. What could have been a stressful situation (remotely selling a house) was instead a dream. Now we have the funds to fix the fixer-upper we bought on the west coast!

We hired Scott to represent us in the sale of our home based on his reputation as an attorney who can be relied upon to close the deal. Sure enough, like Mariano Rivera in the ninth, he got us through the final stretch and sealed it up as scheduled. My family's decision to put the ball in his hand felt like a big save for us.

I found Ed on this website and consulted with him about my outstanding debt that I couldn’t collect from one of my ex-tenants. I called twice because the first time I had to cut the call short because I was running to another meeting, he was available both times. Ed was very straight forward and told me his assessment of the situation. There was no sugar coating and upselling. I felt that Ed was very honest and straight forward to the point. Sometimes you just need a legal expert to point you to the right direction without all the fluff. Thank you Ed!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I retained Attorney Feldman for the negotiation and handling of the sale of our property in Hamden. Since I had already relocated overseas most of the transaction happened over phone, Skype and e-mail. He did an outstanding job assisting me during the negotiation phase with the buyer through drafting the contract and closing. I feel I got the best possible advice and could trust him 150%. Communications were efficient and clear. No surprises. I can recommend Mr Feldman without reservations.

My company and I have worked with Richard for years and I've never had a reason to complain. He's knowledgeable, efficient and doesn't waste anytime resolving the issues at hand. He's assisted us with commercial financing, bankruptcy and defended our interests when necessary. He and his staff respond promptly to calls, question and provides additional explanations when necessary. Whenever I've got an issue in Connecticut, Richard's my go to guy.

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.

I had an outstanding experience working with Jim Miron, his assistant Gillian, and the rest of his team at the Maddox Law Firm on my car accident case. From the very beginning, Jim demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. One of the things I appreciated most about Jim was his kindness and understanding. Since English is my second language, I was initially worried about being able to communicate effectively. However, he quickly put my fears to rest by offering warm words of encouragement and taking the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand. He was always patient and ensured that I was comfortable with every decision and detail in the process. His knowledge and expertise in handling car accident cases were evident in the way he guided me through the complexities of the legal system. He and his team, of which Gillian was my case manager, kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made me feel like a priority. Thanks to his and his team’s hard work and dedication, my case was successfully settled, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. Jim Miron is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely caring individual who goes above and beyond for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

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.
