Matt is a down to earth Attorney with your best interest in mind. He speaks to you directly and not like other firms where he is just the owner and or face of the company. He gives you a cell number that he will answer texts and calls to for any confusion or simple questions. My case ended up being dismissed before the pre trial hearing. Thanks Matt!

I recently posted a question immediately after a ruling on my temporary time share plan. I was angry and frustrated with the results and wanted answers right away. I just got a response from Mr. Davis and whew, it brought me to tears but good tears. While waiting for feedback I did some research on why the non custodial parent was awarded some time share being that he was an uninvolved parent. In my findings I discovered that the judge did what was in the best interest of child. I actually got more out of the ruling than he did. She’s giving dad the opportunity to bond with our child on a trial basis. It makes sense. And Mr. Davis responded he provided that same answer, very raw and blunt but what I needed to read. I can appreciate his honesty with no filter answer. He seems seasoned and well versed in the law. He would be a great choice if one needed a lawyer. Thank you Mr. Davis and many blessings your way!

After our first attorney absolutely failed to do his job and made a legal mess for us, we were referred to Mr. Davis. He gave us more information in our consult than our first attorney gave us in 5 months. Immediately upon being hired, he stepped in and started damage control. I have never felt so at ease and confident while being sued. I highly recommend him. He's extremely knowledgeable, thorough and goes above and beyond for his clients.

I wouldn't hesitate to retain Victoria and her staff to represent me again should I find myself in need of estate representation. They basically held my hand and walked me through the whole process answering any questions or concerns that I had. Victoria never made me feel like I was just another client, I honestly felt like I was a part of her family based on the way that she looked out for me.

I had a quite nuanced custody situation. There were several parties competing against me in unison. From day one Bob kept my child’s best interest and my rights protected
Bobs legal and intellectual prowess, combined with his top tier staff dealt with my case (and my anxiety) exactly as they said they would from day one. With the outcome being exactly what I was seeking. All making for the most painless experience I’ve ever had with and attorney and their staff.
Thanks again to the Stepniak Team!!

I have been guided by Mr. Frankel's counsel for the past 5 years regarding a variety of legal matters.
His calm demeanor significantly eased the stress of a divorce, making a difficult process much smoother. His skillful encouragement of cooperation from my ex helped achieve a speedy resolution.
When my father passed away, Mr. Frankel was quick to make himself available to meet and guide me through the legalities. From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise.
Mr. Frankel provided an invaluable prenuptial agreement years later, ensuing peace of mind for our future in all aspects. We worked through verbiage line by line until we were all satisfied.
He continues to make complex legal processes manageable with clear communication and thoughtful advice. I felt supported and well-informed throughout, which made a significant difference in navigating these life changes.

A first class criminal defense lawyer who is the best in the business. I hired this guy for a family member, on the day after Thanksgiving in 2023, and after following the process and facts that they laid out over 9 months, my family member with no prior criminal record got the results he wanted. His associate John Trehune was a gift from God. Because of his 40 years experience and Aaron Delgado’s reputation with the court system, relationship building and correct guidance to follow the process, my family member received a fair trial. Was it everything I wanted….No! My expectations are very high. Having said that, the outcome was a win and we could not be more pleased with the money spent. Just like everything in life, you get what you pay for. Don’t waste your time hiring and searching for the best criminal defense attorney in town. Call this man and talk to him, then hire him and be patient following the process. The outcome will be a WIN!

We recently moved to Florida and needed to develop an estate plan. LaRue Williams was recommended to us by our Massachusetts attorney. We could not be happier with LaRue, Patty and the rest of the KVP team.
LaRue listened to our needs, developed a custom plan and the whole team made it easy for us, even during a COVID-19 lockdown.
We highly recommend them.

Jim Pickens and Cheryl Upchurch were exceptional in dealing with my grandfather's estate after his death.

We highly recommend them to those in the community and will continue to use them in the future.

Worst experience ever. Case was drawn out in order for him to try to charge me more money even though he never even did what he told me he was going to do when we discussed his fee and his plans for my case. Communication hardly existed once I handed him money. I was charged for editing documents that were never changed and for responding to emails with I'll update you asap even though there was no update because nothing had been done. I approved an agreement over half a dozen times but he never passed this info along to the other parties attorney. He abandoned the case after I confronted him. He refused to return calls/emails from the other parties attorney.

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.
