Just closed on our new home and the sellers were a NIGHTMARE. Gabe handled each bump in the road, always protecting my best interest. He was professional, and responsive, and always there to answer my (many) questions. He went above and beyond for me, and I think anyone would be lucky to have him in their corner.

I had a consultation with Gina to get a Will and Trust in place. Gina was very informative and educated me on the specific documents that I would need to get in place. She was very patient with me as I asked many questions during my consultation and in follow up emails .
when I returned to do the final paperwork, she had everything fully prepared and she walked through it all in detail with me.
Gina is a true professional. She was very welcoming and friendly from the first interaction and she is a great listener. She really captured my interests and delivered them in my Trust and Will.
I would highly recommend Gina!

Gina was very knowledgeable and listened to all our concerns. We hadn’t updated our will in many years so it all had to be redone. She was patient and caring and gave us as much guidance as we needed. The fact that she charges a flat fee rate was comforting to know that each time we spoke, we wouldn’t be “on the clock” with more fees. I would highly recommend Gina for estate planning and any other services she provides.

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for A.J. Vazquez.
We have been using his services for several years now and have found Mr. Vazquez and his firm to be one of the best we do business with. His work has always been complete, accurate, and surpassed our required guidelines. In his tenure of service, his determinations and interpretations have yet to be rebutted or reviewed. The responses are always prompt, and the level of service, though often imitated but never duplicated, is unsurpassed.
In summation, an asset to the profession!

Brody M. Shulman is by far the most responsive, authentic and positive attorney I have ever had represent me. Perera Barnhart accepted my case (s) and within the beginning discovery process, Brody became the main attorney I spoke to, and he made a difficult process very easy to work through and remained optimistic and explained the details of the law and how it affected my case, one issue at a time. He allowed me to be a part of the team, and considered all of my input thoughout the process and always let me know what information was relevant or not and explained how the law works in any question or concern that I had. He always answered every single question I had, in detail. I never had to wait more than a few hours for any response to an inquiry. If I contacted him after office hours, he would reply first thing the next morning. Lawsuits can be very stressful, but just like a coach who keeps his players in the winning frame of mind, Brody kept me focused on the positives and the finish line. I highly recommend him and any attorney at Perera Barnhart, they work together as an outstanding team and will not let you down!

I was a victim of slip & fall accident while at work and unlawfully terminated in a very disrespectful manner. The manager at the time didn't even want to pay me the last week I worked there. The accident happened in Feb this year since then I haven't been able to do anything properly because of the unbearable pain that takes over my body. The Doctors requested physical therapy for me to improve a bit my injures and it has been a total nightmare trying to get these therapies authorised from WC. The insurance company adjuster never answered the phone nor reply to my messages. Always left me waiting with no answer nor solutions to my situation which was THE PAIN that I could NOT stand! Specially at the beginning of the accident... So, tired, stressed out, frustrated and desperate with the PAIN I thought I had enough of their game & injustice and I decided to hire an Attorney.
I call Rubinstein Law phone number I saw on TV and they refered me to
Remer & Georges-Pierre, PLLC Attorneys at Law.
The process began and my case was almost in the same stage when I tried to manage it on my own.
The company responsible for my slip/fall accident at work and the unlawful employment termination were not responding through their Insurance Company.
The adjuster wasn't answering the phone nor replying to any of the messages and emails the legal assistant from Remer & Georges-Pierre, PLLC Law Firm was leaving. It seems like they were doing/playing the same game to them once again!
So, the Mediation appointment arrived which I personally thought nothing special was going to happen or change due to the resistance and absence of the other party (The Company responsible).
So, I was waiting in the Conference room by myself and my Attorney arrived. He introduced himself as BRODY SHULMAN.
He gave me a bit of his background/experience and then he proceeded to explain my situation in details in order for me to understand every single aspect of it and its posibilities.
He made me feel confortable and the most important thing that ... I was in good hands!
The Mediation started and the Mediator was telling me how in disavantage I was against the other party making me feel and think I should give up!
I expressed my opinion on this situation and how this has affected me physically, mentally and emotionally. The Mediator reply:
That's why you should end this now
Deep inside me I didn't know what to do after I listened to the Mediator. The only thing I saw coming was...
A LONG dragging back and forward discussion with no end in it!
Then, something magical happens! It was to me anyway. My Attorney step up and said:
May I speak to my client for a minute please?
The Mediator replied: Of course. (leaving the room)
My Attorney BRODY SHULMAN talked to me and explained in details while we had a coffe break before we started de Mediation process he already had stepped up and talked to the WC representative to find out whether or not we could reach an agreement that would be acceptable for me.
Wow! I was totally AMAZED by how fast, professional and proactive this Attorney was!
I admit he looks kind of young but his abilities and professionalism go beyond his age!
I'm really pleased and satisfied with the outcome of this Mediation appointment obtained by my Attorney
BRODY M. SHULMAN
The Settlement Agreement has been reached thank to you!
I Congratulate You for reaching Excellency in the Ability of doing your job!
and
Wishing You tremendous Succes in your Career and opportunities ahead in the near future!

I highly recommend Attorney Vasilko and this law firm. She has worked very hard for two separate cases on my behalf. Today, I have both of my kids.

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.
