We contacted Robert on short notice while in the middle of a sale for our business. Our previous attorney wasn’t meeting deadlines and delaying the closing. Robert came on board as our lead counsel and did an EXCELLENT job, he was extremely thorough and sharp in his work. In addition to being thorough and diligent on his review of our 60+ page contract Robert also turned around items extremely fast. We had a short deadline for a large and complex transaction, Robert meet every deadline we had and did an excellent job representing our interests.
I’ve worked with a lot of attorney’s and I can tell you 100% Robert is one of the best attorneys I’ve worked with. Robert is extremely sharp and works extremely hard for his clients; I would highly recommend Robert to anyone in need of an attorney.

I suffered a spine injury as the result of a T-bone car crash, the other driver at fault. We got nothing but gutter-ball offers from her insurance company. What you hear on the radio is true – the insurance companies simply will not take your case seriously until you file a suit. This is where I was glad to have Ken and his team on my side. The burden to convince a jury of my losses lies with me the plaintiff, which then requires conducting extensive research, gathering and organizing supporting documents. After Ken submitted all of this material during the pre-trial discovery the insurance company decided to make a reasonable settlement offer.

Sarah was a tremendous help in guiding us through creating our estate plan, will, durable power of attorney, and more! There are no stupid questions and she will work with you to navigate the process. She is highly responsive and you can have all of your documents put together quite quickly, the only limiting factor is how fast you respond to her and make decisions :) Sarah is also very inclusive and will provide all the documentation you need for all family styles and couples, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. I can't recommend Sarah enough!

I am so happy that my friend and coworker referred me to Sarah to create a will. I was very nervous about the process and needed to work with someone who could simplify the information and help me feel comfortable. Sarah is fantastic to work with! The experience has been much easier and faster than I expected. Sarah is thorough and has done an amazing job at explaining all of the unknowns to me. Above and beyond any expectations I had for this process.

A few years ago, Jeremy helped my wife and me form our construction and consulting companies. He walked us through every aspect of the process, including the tax ramifications of our options. To this day, I can e-mail him a contract in the morning and he has comments for me by lunch. Also, due to my work schedule, on many occasions, Jeremy has worked with me on the weekends or late at night.

I would recommend Scott McGath to anyone. From the start, I could tell that Scott had my back. It wasn't about the money, it was about winning and making me feel at ease along the way. I know this because he spent countless hours off the clock making himself an expert on a difficult and complex subject that only a sharp and determined lawyer could do. Scott and his team were professional, available, and organized. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to hire Scott again.

Mark Apelman provided my family timely and efficient legal services regarding a fraudulent contract that was preventing our family from closing the loan on our home!

Year after year, I am more impressed than ever with Jim Evans. He helped me define my last wishes and establish a trust. His system of follow-up to keep current with life changes is outstanding! He invests his time and talent in the best interest of his client and is not a "cookie-cutter" attorney, just filling in forms. He truly cares about a positive outcome regarding leaving an enduring legacy. He is a top professional who I would recommend highly. Anyone would be very lucky to have him as their personal counsel. He does counsel in the best sense of the word!

We became involved with a very sticky and technical legal matter and another lawyer referred us to Max. We found Max to be very knowledgeable, bright, professional, and timely throughout the entire process. Beyond legal issues, he gave fantastic advice on strategy (short and long) and followed through with brilliant execution. As a teacher of negotiation skills I found Max to be a worthy partner as well - and to top if all off, we were successful. In short, while no one wants to be involved with legal issues, we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

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.
