Andrew left a lasting impression on me from day one. He took personal interest in our situation and was quick to offer suggestions. We needed something done quickly and it certainly was. To say that he went above and beyond would be an understatement. The industry could use more people like him. I would highly recommend him to anyone out there. Thank You Andrew for all of your help.

Andrew represents the best of his profession. He's represented our business in instances of HR issues, clients defaulting on payment and when we experienced a security breach leading to fraudulent credit card charges. On the real estate side, he's advised on and constructed our LLC's and created tenant contracts for those. Hes also advised on situations surrounding breach of those agreements.
We have absolute trust in the counsel Andrew provides our organization, and myself personally.

Matthew was excellent and assisted me in a prompt and professional manner with a security deposit return dispute. He was able to negotiate an almost full return of my security deposit with a real estate corporation that clearly continues to disregard their tenants rights (Progress Residential). I would highly recommend, thank you!

I would recommend him to anyone that has a real estate issue that doesn't want treated like they are just a client but not an individual needing true representation! He assured me that I was important and that my legal issues were also important.

My father passed away and it was a very trying time for me. I needed probate assistance and legal advice. Through an odd set of circumstances I ended up contacting Manos, Martin & Pergram and spoke to Kathleen Johnson. She provided me with valuable help and insight, even before we met in person. The firm was further away from me than other law offices, but after meeting and working Kathleen, I knew I made the right decision. If I need legal assistance in the future, Kathleen will be my first contact.

Michael was there every step of the way during our mother’s probate. He never wavered even under the constant barrage of questions the family and I had. Always down to earth and kind! He even met me at the office on a Sunday night to finalize everything, when I had to fly out of state for work Monday morning. If you’re in need of an understanding and knowledgeable attorney, J. Michael Nicks is your guy. Thank you again Michael for all you did during this process!!!

Great experience! We developed a trust and living will with this law firm. From past experiences I knew this process is normally a very long, drawn out one. Wright and Moore asked the right questions via teleconference to prepare ahead of our meeting. On the day of overview and signing we were able to thoroughly review everything. Before the meeting was over we had a signed trust, living will, peace of mind along with the original copies in a professional binder to go along with it. What normally takes 3 weeks, Wright and Moore tackled in 3 hours.

It is all or none with this guy. He will do the work or blows you off. We had him do work for us on one issue did fine; on another took forever & when we went into the office he threw a fit. Its a small town it was not a personal issue it was business. Did not like being called out on not doing his job and was seen in the record store browsing on more that one occasion LOL We neeeded the subjuct delt with in a timely manner.

To begin, please believe what you are reading in the reviews. I made the mistake of not following my initial intuition. If possible to give zero stars, I would. I would not recommend Lawrence Law Office to anyone in need of a competent and responsive divorce attorney. My experience was deeply frustrating due to an extreme lack of communication, inconsistent billing practices, and an overall failure to provide proactive legal representation.
Despite multiple attempts to reach out, my calls were rarely returned. Meetings never took place in person, and the only service provided was reacting to the opposing party’s filings—never creating or submitting anything on my behalf. Additionally, the firm relied on improper templates rather than crafting case-specific documents.
Billing practices were also highly questionable. I was charged $450 per hour, with a minimum 15-minute charge just for reading an email. Given the lack of original work done on my case, these charges felt excessive and unjustified.
If you are looking for an attorney who will actively advocate for you, communicate clearly, and provide value for their fees, I strongly suggest seeking representation elsewhere.

The person I spoke with who sets up new clients stated they will not talk to me without me paying a retainer. I simply wanted to talk to Linda Lawrence about hiring her to be my attorney. I got the runaround from her handler. Her handler made excuses such as I need to get the divorce court date my wife scheduled to be a different date and then call them back.
Absurb. Do not recommend. Fire this handler!

Piss poor representation. I hired this guy to represent me on a DUI for $7000. He assured me that if I plead Guilty/No Contest, I would receive the minimum sentencing guidelines. On my court date, he showed up in a mask and assured me of minimum sentencing. Behind the scenes, when I asked him about the driver's license suspension, he looked at me and talked down to me literally like I was a piece of garbage and assured me that he had negotiated minimum sentencing and basically told me to plead guilty/no contest. I listened to his advice against my better judgement and was sentenced to the maximum license suspension of 3 years. I basically paid this guy over double the going rate for my charges to represent me, and I regret hiring him. I would not recommend hiring Rick Reeder based on my experience, and financial loss. Despicable!

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.
