First-time homebuyer. Our realtor recommended Clare Bolduc as our real estate attorney. I couldn't have been happier with that recommendation.
Right from the start she was open to all my questions and concerns. Being very new at this I needed someone to walk me through the entire process, and Clare did just that. She went over every point with me and responded very timely to any questions I had. We spent significant time on the phone going over every last detail.
Upon hiring her, Clare gave me a flat quote for her services, which, at the time, I thought was very fair. I personally think she undercharged. With the amount of footwork she had to do and how she continues to go to bat for me with the sellers even after we closed I feel I got great value in hiring her.
She's really good. At her previous law firm it only took her 3 years to make partner. That's VERY quick. She definitely knows the ins and outs of her profession and I would be very happy to hire her again if the need arises.
She even made a point to provide some distractions for my 2-year-old son during the closing so my wife and I could sign the documents.
5 gold stars from me. Very satisfied. Highly recommend for ANYONE doing ANYTHING that needs an attorney in CT or NY.
Thank you, Clare.

As first time home buyers, my husband and i had A LOT of questions! The ones our realtor couldn't help answers we asked to Clare and not only did she always know the answer but she responded to us very quickly. We hardly ever waited more than an hour to hear back from her which always put us at ease during the stressful moments. As you're looking for a Attorney for real estate transactions, we highly, highly would recommend working with Clare! We would do it all over again if we had to!

I reached out to Attorney Allison Jacobs with regard to a personal injury case and from the first time we spoke, I felt assured of her competence and professionalism. It wasn't for a year after that first contact that I would reach out again. Atty. Jacobs recalled our initial conversation and was immediately invested in assisting me. She has consistenly demonstrated support, guidence and empathy. She provided a thourough explaination of what to expect and educated me completely as to the variables at play and the protocol and temperature of the court in personal injury cases such as mine. She navigated the case expertly, always consulting with me, and then she negotiated a fair settlement, making certain to be mindful of my satisfaction with what the outcome was going to be. I would be remis if I did not mention that not only was Atty. Allison Jacobs knowledgeable and confident, the entire team at Jacobs & Jacobs treated me with great respect and courtesy and I felt just as good about the skill and professionalism demonstrated by the paralegals and other staff that assisted me with my case. I am grateful to them all for the favorable outcome we all enjoyed with my case. I highly recommend Jacobs & Jacobs, especially Attorney Allison (Allie) Jacobs.

I often don't write reviews, but in this case, I want to thank Bruce and his team because they helped out my uncle in the car accident that he had. Thankfully because of Bruce and his team, everything came out very well, and my uncle was happy with the final result of the case. I was the one to recommend to my uncle this professional law firm, as they had also helped me with a previous car accident case that I had and I was happy with the result, so I recommended this law firm to my uncle.

Without reservation, my family and I recommend the Law Offices of Neil Crane. Neil and his team were truly a lifeline during one of the most stressful times in our lives. We were navigating a bankruptcy for my husband's former business, and the entire process felt overwhelming. From the very beginning, Neil and his team provided compassionate communication and were so patient with us. They took the time to explain each step of the process in detail, ensuring we fully understood everything, which gave us a huge sense of calm. Their clear understanding of our situation and their ability to guide us through the complex bankruptcy process allowed us to focus on rebuilding and giving our young family a fresh start. We are forever grateful for their support, professionalism, and kindness throughout it all. Thanks to their dedication, we now have the opportunity to build a brighter future.

Jay Weintraub represented me in a law suit in which I was the plaintiff suing my former business partner. Besides the fact that we won on all accounts, I was very impressed with the way he listened, counseled, analyzed and informed me all along the way. Since then Jay has represented me and my adult children in matters relating to real estate, estate planning, etc. I trust him for his knowledge, clarity of explanation, tenacity, and demeanor. Jay is not an attack oriented lawyer. He tries reason, communication and win-win results but he can be steel-minded when necessary. I always felt that my benefit was his primary objective- not his best interests.

I can't speak to his trustworthyness, responsiveness or the kept me informed catagories, what I can say is that in a 3 party lawsuit that went to trial where he represented one of two opposition parties - I was thoroughly impressed, he was way ahead of the other two attorneys (one of which was ours!) This is an excellent attorney who knew his case well, represented his client well, but also attempted settlement with a true (and fair) intent to settle. A quality attorney who knows his cases.

I met Nicole at a networking event. I had been procrastinating putting my estate plan together for several years, not only because it's simply not a pleasant thing to talk about but also because I just never found someone I was comfortable talking to about...let's face it; death. Nicole, was immediately warm, friendly and most of all reassuring. She walked me through every aspect of the process and made the planning painless and easy. I am now comfortable knowing that in the event that should anything happen to me, my family will clearly know my intentions on how everything is to be handled right down to my funeral services. Nicole is truly a professional and I would not hesitate to use her services again should they be need.

Kate has gone above and beyond. Our transaction was anything but smooth. Although the people on our team were amazing and worked diligently to
make sure things on our end were covered, the other parties involved did not have the same support. Kate communicated consistently, addressed our concerns and made sure our paperwork was done and our needs were met. She continues to do so after the fact as we hit another bump due to no fault of hers. We will definitely continue to utilize her services in the future.

Attorney Rocco took over my case after a different attorney was unable to see it through to the end. She brought herself up to speed in very short order and immediately started taking action. Her efforts were very successful and my case settled thanks to her. I highly recommend Attorney Rocco. She is highly qualified to handle a variety of cases. She is able to put clients at ease. She responds to telephone calls, texts and emails promptly. Your case will be important to her and she works very hard to see it through to the best possible conclusion.
Attorney Rocco is a gem in Middletown.

We have used Attorney Burns for contracts and estate planning. His advice has always been straightforward and accurate. He is always professional in both appearance and demeanor. He is very detailed in his research and explanation of what he advises, but remains open to questions and discussion on these issues. His trustworthyness is unquestionable.

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.
