I normally don't write these things but I had such a positive experience with Lori concerning a very complicated family trust that I owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. My case concerned a blended family trust which, as I've learned, can be thorny and fractured affairs. I was co-trustee of the trust and I genuinely don't know if I would have made it through the experience with my sanity intact without Lori. She's incredibly smart, knows Florida law inside and out, and was creative in finding solutions when hope seemed lost.
But most of all she was available when I needed her. In my regular life I have reason to deal with lawyers from time to time. If you want to feel true frustration, try dealing with an attorney who you can't get on the phone. Lori was there for me. 75% of the time she'd take my call right away. If not, she'd get back to me within a few hours.
Lori's also an incredibly fun and interesting person. Probate cases require a lot of phone calls and emails. Better to go through it with someone whom you like and appreciate as a human being. Don't underestimate the importance of that.
On the flip side, when hard ball needed to be played, she played hard ball. She was fierce when we got into the end game of my ordeal and in the end we came out with a very strong result.
As anyone who's gone through a contested will or trust can tell you, it's a brutal experience. Thank goodness I chose Lori to represent me. I can't recommend her enough.

Richard Caldwell and his team provided me with outstanding assistance. All too often we only hear from people or post reviews when there is a problem. My belief is that it is equally important to take a moment, give credit where credit is due, and recognize a job well done.
My interaction with Richard was in the context of two automotive service facilities, who over-charged, charged for repairs demonstrably not completed and neglectful damage to my vehicle, cumulatively +/- $35K.
Finding a legal professional who not only has the expertise and passion to aggressively champion your cause, while still being a down-to-earth person who genuinely cares and readily communicates, is a rare find.
These factors considered, my personal experience allows me to highly recommend Richard and his team at Caldwell Legal.
I hold Richard in the very highest regard as both a gentleman and consummate professional. Richard always took care to both mindfully listen and to explain options. He set expectations accordingly and was truly my Guardian Angel while navigating the frustrations of my particular legal situation. Many thanks Richard, Virginia and Wendy.

First let us thank Matthew for the work and professionalism he provided to us through our case. Additionally we came to experience Matthew in a personal way, he is passionate, professional and persistent. There was never a time in our case that he did not respond to our calls and emails with efficiency and timely updates. Matthew was very thorough and simplistic in how he walk us through the terminology and nuisances of our case. He did not provide us with a false hope, but constantly assured us he was working to meet our needs and in the benefit of our reuest. If he thought that a strategy was not wise he would suggest another means to accomplish our goal. Not only is Matthew an attorney but a true person at heart with character, ethics and morality. If you are looking for a exuberant, informed and passionate attorney, Matthew is the person you want on your side. Thank you again Matthew for your counsel and may your practice succeed in every way.

The law firm of John Annesser II, Esq. represented me this year in a code enforcement violation case with the City of Miami. The case was convoluted and complex, and I felt terrorized until Mr. Annesser’s firm backed me up. Mr. Annesser attended my case with particular attention. He was incredibly gracious with his billable time and offered much advice and conferences for which he generously did not charge. I am a single parent and a schoolteacher, so this enormous gesture by Mr. Annesser was very much appreciated and had a big impact on my situation. It just goes to show that there are genuinely good people in the world who care about helping others. Having Mr. Annesser’s law firm in my corner made all the difference. I am so glad and grateful for their representation. Things had been going very badly for me, but Mr. Annesser’s involvement turned things around with the City. In a miraculous turn of events, the case was expeditiously closed. This was a fortunate outcome in a case that could have dragged out for a decade. Mr. Annesser was armed with an array of strategies for my case, so I’m confident that we would have reached the desired outcome anyway. It was a great relief to work with Mr. Annesser. He is a well-seasoned, highly-experienced lawyer. During my case, he was very communicative and accessible, and his advice was worth its weight in gold. He took great care with my case and devised multiple strategies for resolution. His expertise and support were truly invaluable to me during an incredibly stressful time. I would definitely engage Annesser & Armenteros Law again for future legal matters. It is so worth it to have an exceptional lawyer in one’s corner.

My wife and I were referred to Mr. Chohonis by one of my wife's co-workers. We were having issues with our landlord regarding termites in our apartment and other issues with our lease. Mr. Chohonis walked us though our issue, explained to us with great detail what we had to work with, and what we could do. Throughout the whole process, he kept in constant contact, looped us in with every email and phone conversation had with our landlord, and at the end of it all was able to get us out of our lease without ever having to take it to court.
I am beyond grateful for Mr. Chohonis and would absolutely call upon his services in the future should there be a need. I highly recommend him.

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.
