Richard Traina has done an excellent job representing me in 6 cases now (5 at the same time!). His presence and organization in the courtroom is very impressive, and the judge seems to be attentive as a result of his professionalism. Through all of the tough times that one will experience in a lawsuit, Richard is able to maintain a good sense of humor, which makes this "complex experience" of lawsuits more palatiable.

Dominick Latino is our company's lawyer. He helped us write our contracts and most recently helped us collect on $3000.00 of bad debt. He keeps us informed of changes in the law that would effect our company. He is our "go to" for legal advice and when you call, he always calls you back.

Jeanne Mauldin is an amazing attorney. She helped us after a car wreck that left our car totaled and that also resulted in personal physical injuries. Initially we were very stressed, but once we called her, that anxiety was lifted. She handled everything. Car rentals, car seat replacements, medical appointments, and what would have been countless hours on the phone with insurance companies. We never once felt like we were being taken advantage of because she was advocating for us. Jeanne worked hard to get us a fair settlement. She is smart, caring, and professional. We can’t recommend her enough.

I highly recommend Ana Lopez! She is smart, experienced, wise and discerning in her assessments, empathetic as a mother too, and genuinely cares for children, her clients and their well-being. She is also quite a fighter! To have her support means having a plan in place to get you to your goal and the ability to make last-minute and necessary decisions under stressful circumstances. I sought out Ana‘s counsel to find a way to legally protect my son within the limits I was given years ago. She immediately devised a workable plan of action and was available every step of the way until our intended outcome was reached. It took time – as the wheels of the court system move slowly – but not once did I feel alone or helpless. She always answered my questions thoroughly and made the most of what power we did have on our side. My son is now the safer and happier for it, and I am extremely relieved. Ana's expertise and persistence made all the difference, and I would not hesitate to call upon her again if needed. Lastly, but also importantly, Oriol Law's office team was wonderful as well, providing assistance and communication each step of the way.

I worked with Ana and David, and both offered a very professional and personal service during a very trying time. I worked more directly with Ana, but I liked that they worked as a team, with each applying their personal expertise to my case.
The process can be very complex and stressful, but Ana was able to breakdown and simplify everything and walked me through, step by step. Great communication throughout. She listened to my opinions and concerns but always made sure to keep the process focused and represent me without fail.

Ana Lopez has gone above and beyond to help advocate and fight for myself and my children. She is extremely professional and beyond knowledgeable about all things family law. She is personable and communicative, making sure you are aware of what is happening through every step. She is trustworthy and is straightforward when it comes to protocol and clear about what may or may not happen with different scenarios. She is truly an expert when it comes to family law and brings so much to her clients.
What makes Ana the absolute best choice for anyone looking for a lawyer is the fact that she genuinely cares about her clients. When you hire her, she is invested not only in the outcome, but in the entirety of the situation. I can honestly say that she has made a huge difference in our lives with all the work she has done for my family
on various issues. Ana is worth it- you will not be sorry for hiring her!
My experience overall at Oriol Law Firm has been nothing but positive. The office staff is welcoming and communication is easy for all things. Their system for sending messages and updates is extremely easy to use.

I chose Mr.Mecca as my attorney after I unfortunately found myself facing felony charges(stemming from my struggle at the time with addiction)in 2020 and I chose him because around 12 years prior he represented my mother.He left such a great impression on me because Slidell PD was trying to search our residence when they were only supposed to be entering our residence to arrest my cousin and my mom called him middle of the day on a Saturday and he dropped whatever he was doing on his day off and drove to our house to block the police from this search.So when I was in need I immediately called Mr.Mecca and he is very professional,he cares about his clients and will do whatever it takes to get the best possible plea deal or if a trial is the best option he won't hesitate to take on the 22nd JDC in court.Hopefully I never need his services again ,but if I ever need representation again James"Jim" Mecca would be my first call.

Unprofessional, never saw him in court or work except in jeans. He didn’t review, read, or study my files, never had a discussion, and in the end disguised a paper to me who didn’t know that gave everything of 20 years, 100% to my unfaithful ex while getting $15,000 from me. Took him months to create a bill and never sent the files to my new attorney ever

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.
