Navigating family court is one of the most challenging and emotionally charged experiences anyone can face, and I cannot imagine going through this journey without Glenn by our side. From the very beginning, he has been nothing short of exceptional.
Glenn is not just an attorney; he is a strategist, a protector, and a calming presence in the midst of chaos. He meticulously thinks ahead, plans for every possible scenario, and ensures that no detail goes unnoticed. His ability to anticipate challenges and provide solutions before they arise has been invaluable.
What truly sets him apart is his genuine care and compassion. He takes the time to truly get to know his clients on an individual level, understanding their unique needs, fears, and goals. This personal connection makes you feel seen, heard, and supported—like you’re not just another case, but a person who truly matters. That level of understanding brought me and my husband an incredible sense of comfort and ease during a very tumultuous time for our family.
His communication is clear and thoughtful, and he is always available to address our concerns, no matter how small they may seem. Glenn has worked with both me and my husband on our individual cases, and his professionalism and dedication have earned our unwavering trust. His support has been a source of strength for our family, and we are forever grateful for his expertise and guidance.
If you are looking for a family court attorney who is not only highly skilled but also deeply compassionate, committed, and invested in understanding your unique story, Glenn is by far, the one you want in your corner. He has truly been a blessing to us, and we cannot recommend him enough!

We hired Mr. Tygar in a matter of obtaining funds from a foreclosure of property of a member of our family who passed away a year before. Mr. Tygar was able to resolve our issues within 10 days. This was after dealing with a "large firm" in Plantation, who kept telling us that the matter would take a brief more time. He was always upfront with us and always return our phone calls within a matter of an hour or 2. The fact that he has a tight knit small firm is a positive fact that can not be overlooked these.

I feel the Russo firm has gone above and beyond in keeping me up to date on my case. Being from northern Michigan, there's quite a distance between the two of us, but zero distance between our communication. I'm very grateful for their services so far. As a matter of fact, I hooked them up with a close friend of mine who has also suffered tooth loss from Suboxone. His case was brought up to date in a matter of no time whatsoever. I'm glad my friend is receiving great help from them also... I do hope the law firm thinks of me, and the clients I am more than happy to hook them up with, as they pursue my legal needs. Thank you all very much, all you hard workers at the Russo Law Firm. Please note, I have approximately 5 more friends, that I'm close to, that have also suffered tooth loss from suboxone. 😀

AVOID! This guy got mad at me over baseball cards! He didn't like that I ran a story about a friend of his who was accused of scamming. Daniel claimed he was going to sue anyone who came forward with information. In messages, Daniel then inquired where I lived and asked me about my personal life.
He's probably too busy with trading card drama to take care of you in a meaningful way! Seek other council if at all possible.
Some of his 5 star google reviews were written by fellow sports card dealers, so I imagine those are fake.

Very pleased with the outcome of my divorce. I had tried for close to 3 years to get divorced. My case was a difficult case and I was getting very low on funds to keep fighting it. Daniel took my case on and sped up the entire process for me. Daniel is very personal, he does not sugar coat anything, he says it as it is. He truly helped me toughen up again at my weakest point in my life. If you need an attorney Daniel is your guy.

Daniel is an Attorney like no other. I received a personal service. I got to deal directly with Daniel rather than a long stream of assistants who do not know my case. My case was resolved very fast and very professionally with a good outcome. I highly recommend Daniel.

If I could rate a negative 0 I would. Mr. Casio represented my Ex. In our divorce. He knew my signature was fraudulent in the listing of the sell of my home. Even knowing this he still allowed a fraudulent contract to submitted for the sell of my home. Due to the home being in foreclosure I ended up being forced to agree to the sell. The divorce judge advised that my and my ex husband's proceeds be held for when we return to court.. Well now we can't return to court until Mr. Casio releases the funds. My home sold in May the mortgage has been paid (the only positive thing he has done) and he refuses to provide he information needed to finalize our divorce and release our funds. Again the home sold in May I and my ex husband have called multiple times to no returned calls. To google showing temporary closed then suddenly after I posted my review to Google his business is no longer temporarily closed. GIVE US OUR MONEY & MY DIVORCE MR. CASIO!

Had a closing on a multi-million dollar house, and Todd assured us that he would wire our money "momentarily". Five hours later the bank still did not have our money. Todd would not answer our calls. We went back to his office and he was "gone for the day."

Papera represented me in a real estate closing. He forgot to inform me of restrictions to the deed causing the value to be way less than I paid. I lost a sale to the property 2 years later bc of this restriction, thereby losing over $1 million in profits. Now in litigation, he alleges he was not my attorney, but just acting as title agent.

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.
