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.

You won't find an attorney that is kinder, more patient or more knowledgeable than Mark Korotash. He took care of my closing, and he prepared my will and advanced directives. He explained everything, he listened well, and he made me feel like he had all the time in the world for me, even though he wasn't charging by the hour. I highly recommend Attorney Mark Korotash. He is a remarkable man, and a remarkable attorney.

He is always there for you in a moments notice & if he can't help you then his secretary or someone in the office can help you. He is not there everyday during the week but, you can call & schedule an appointment for a day that he can be available. Mr. Ventura has been practicing law for many not years decades & has a lot of knowledge on not only law but many other things.. He has been my families lawyer for a long time & will stay that way...

I am an attorney that has been on the opposite side of a litigation matter with Attorney Kelleher. I was very impressed with his knowledge, and the respectful and professional way he worked with me to resolve the matter. I have found myself as executor in a probate estate. It is not my area of expertise, but Attorney Kelleher has great knowledge and experience with probate matters. I did not hesitate to retain him as my attorney and it is the best decision I have made for the family and heirs of the deceased. I highly recommend Attorney Ed Kelleher.

I have been fortunate to have had legal advice and services from Jay for almost a decade now. Lawyers who build great, long relationships with their clients can be hard to find. Top that off with high responsiveness and professionalism, and we got ourselves a winning team.

Kathy is an excellent attorney with great discernment. She handled a very tough family case for us. She was able to interview the many parties involved family and non family members, as well as other professionals involved. She had clarity on each individual in a short amount of time and was 100% accurate in her assessment of all.
Kathy is kind, responsible, insightful, compassionate and has integrity; is always willing to lend an ear and invaluable advice. She will always do what is right, of that I have no doubt.
I highly recommend Kathy.

I just finished my pre-closure yesterday for a sale tomorrow (I am selling a house). I once again used Mr. Yorio due to his help when I purchased a house in October. I was very impressed with the entire team. The seller of the house attempted to pull out 13 minutes before closing. I wanted to just sit and cry. Mr. Yorio and his staff helped us through every step of the way- even as emotional support! We were able to close the following week and he was so accommodating! My husband couldn’t believe all of the information and tricks about mortgages during closing. I felt like we also met with a financial advisor! I would definitely hire him and recommend him!

What was supposed to be a simple home purchase ended up last minute scramble with the lender to meet wire deadlines. Liam was great both before and during our closing, taking time to explain each document and calling/emailing responses quickly. When the closing came down to the wire (literally 15 minutes until wire closed for the day), Liam hustled down to the bank to make everything clear in time so we could close for the day. Really above and beyond work on his part. Carol was also on top of everything prepping closing. Enjoyed our experience. Highly recommend.

I was very pleased with the excellent service we received from Liam Glynn and his paralegal Carol on two separate occasions when we sold a family member’s home and adjoining property. It was a complicated sale, but Liam and his staff handled the entire process with ease—they were professional, friendly, reassuring, communicative, and knowledgeable. Phone calls and emails were returned promptly. I highly recommend Liam, and look forward to working with him again when the need arises.

Liam was an absolute pleasure to work with. For a first time home buyer there is so much that is new and overwhelming - with a quick close to boot. Liam took extra time to walk through and give a constructive and impartial explanation of the process for us. He kept on top of the details that we needed to track and/or chase. Handled some small technical bumps that came up during close with patience and a reassuring confidence that put our minds at ease. Cannot recommend more for a first time buyer.

I recently purchased a home and Cynthia came highly recommended as a top rate attorney. From the beginning she was forthcoming and was mindful of what was in my best interest. She moved things along quickly, was responsive, and was careful to look after my position at the table before, during, and after negotiations. She is an ace, I definitely recommend calling Cynthia for her services.

Her experience in real estate matters helped smooth over a few bumps we encountered along the way, and she always responded promptly to questions and concerns. She is on top of her game, and we recommend her highly.

Cynthia Miller handled my divorce over two years ago along with the purchasing of my home from my ex-husband. Recently she helped me in a messy real estate transaction trying to sell my house and buy a condo. I can only say great things about her. She is tough but compassionate when you need it; she is always available and gets back to you immediately. Her prices are fair and I wouldn't go to anyone else. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone going through a divorce or a real estate transaction. She gets the job DONE and is always on your side in the process. Thank you, Cynthia!!!!

Attorney Fay has been helping me navigate the family court system for over 6 years now. I have stayed with Attorney Fay for this long because she is honest, ethical and direct. My custody dispute has been very challenging but Attorney Fay has never missed a court hearing/appearance/status conference, etc and there have been many in 6 years. Her command of the details of my case is truly impressive. She is also honest about what she is capable of helping with and what to expect at court. I have never felt mislead or disappointed by her guidance. And I appreciate how fair she is with her billing; it has allowed me to continue to fight for my child's best interest without going bankrupt in the process. I cannot say enough about what a true professional Attorney Fay is. If you are in need of an attorney who will be committed to your case not matter how difficult or challenging the other party is, I highly recommend Attorney Fay.

I have known Candace only a few years since a lady moved into my rest home she was conserving. Since then, I have asked her to conserve for 4 other clients. She is professional and truly cares for the people she stands up for. I notice the only negative reviews were posted by anonymous. I don't put much faith in anyone who won't put their name out there! Meet Candace for yourself and you won't be disappointed. I've never been!

Brian is terrific. Highly recommend. Only those with unreasonable expectations believe that simply getting a "paid" lawyer is the end all be all of judicial magic and that everything will come up roses. Sometimes you have to lay in the bed you've made, but I guarantee it will be a bit fluffier if you use Brian for your defense. If he can get you kicked loose he will. I appreciate all he helped me with.

Brian Romano helped me with a situation I had little to no knowledge on. I reached out to many lawyers on the subject and he was recommended to me by a Friends father. I was hesitant with other lawyers and once I spoke to Brian. I felt instantly ready to move forward. Everything he told me happened and anything that he was unsure on Brian found out same hour. He truly helped me in moment I wasn’t confident taking on. He saved me money throughout the process and overall I came out on top. I cannot thank Brian and his team enough. Always there for me if anything pops up in the mail as well. Pick Brian for your needs!

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to help my husband and I with the purchase of our new home. Daniel was professional, prepared and organized. He was patient, clear and willing in his explanations of the complex procedures involved with purchasing and closing on a property. He was always quick to respond throughout various hours of the day, as he was kind enough to give us his cell phone number. Through his genuine nature, you could tell his main interest was to protect our interest. I felt completely comfortable under LMR's advisement, which was significant considering all of the stressful moments that go along with buying a house! Would happily use again and strongly recommend to anyone searching!

I have never met more incompetent people in my life. This office continually changed pricing on us through the closing process. Then we get a call a month and a half later stating that we owe extra money for taxes. Clearly they were just too lazy to check on what the taxes would actually be, and based it off of old numbers. So we sent them the check they asked for, and then i get a letter a week later stating I have to send the money to the town of New Milford now. The people Joe has working for him are absolutely incompetent, and its a JOKE. With so many real estate attorneys around I would use ANYONE else, and I fully plan to use someone else next time!

I was referred to Joseph Saffi when I purchased a home in Connecticut. I was advised he is the go-to guy for real estate in this area. We were involved in several deals which, for one reason or another did not go through. Joe was very helpful in tracking down information necessary to pursue all deals. He even asked some informative questions about a property we had put a bid in on which later had me realize I was getting into a bad deal. When we finally closed on our house, Joe was timely and professional, and very reasonably priced for all the work he did. Highly recommended.

Terrible lawyer. Did not answer any of my questions but charged me as if he did. He purposely obfuscated the legal issues being discussed and was rude and insulting. I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone.

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.
